IOPI Medical is the brand behind the IOPI (Iowa Oral Performance Instrument), the reference tool to objectively measure the strength and endurance of the tongue and lips. Developed at the University of Iowa, it lets speech therapists and clinicians quantify isometric pressure in kilopascals (kPa) and work with visual biofeedback.
Objective assessment and biofeedback therapy
The IOPI documents deficits that justify treatment, helps differentiate muscle weakness from motor-control problems and guides isometric oral-motor exercise by showing the patient’s progress. It is a key tool in orofacial myology and in the exploration and diagnosis of dysphagia and dysarthria.
