A Study of Tongue Strength and Endurance Using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI) Tongue Strength Trainer in People With Oral Tongue Cance
Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Summary
The purpose of this study is to learn more about tongue strength and endurance by using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI). The IOPI is a device that measures tongue pressure.
Official title: Normative Ranges of Lingual Strength and Endurance and the Impact of the IOPI Lingual Strength Trainer on Quantitative Functional Outcomes and Patient-Reported Outcomes After Partial Glossectomy or Hemiglossectomy for Oral Tongue Cancer, A Pilot Study

Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI)
The Iowa Oral Performance Instrument/IOPI is an instrument that objectively measures tongue strength using a standard-sized air-filled bulb. An individual presses the bulb against the roof of the mouth with the tongue to generate a pressure measurement in kilopascals (kPa). Maximum tongue strength can be determined using a measure of pressure.
