Posterior tongue strength

no changein humans1

1 study
  1. Tongue resistance training program has no effect on posterior tongue strength in humans (β = 4.0, 95% CI -2.6–10.6, p = 0.231).

    “However, no significant improvements were observed for PTS (β = 4.0; p = 0.231, 95%CI = - 2.6-10.6), ATE (β = - 4.5; p = 0.173, 95%CI = - 10.9-2.0), and PTE”

Saliva swallowing pressure

1 study
  1. Tongue resistance training program improves saliva swallowing pressure in humans (β = 12.5, 95% CI 9.2–15.9, p < 0.001).

    “SSP (β = 12.5; p < 0.001, 95%CI = 9.2-15.9), and ESP (β = 14.2; p < 0.001, 95%CI = 9.3-19.0) at immediate posttest”

Anterior tongue strength

upin humans1

1 study
  1. Tongue resistance training program improves anterior tongue strength in humans (β = 6.4, 95% CI 1.2–11.5, p = 0.016).

    “TRTP significantly improved ATS (β = 6.4; p = 0.016, 95%CI = 1.2-11.5)”
