Description

How much strength do your lips and tongue make?

Biofeedback is the most useful equipment in the diagnosis and treatment of orofacial dysfunctions and specifically dysphagia. It allows to train the lip or tongue pressure as well as the evaluation of these organs and will help us:

– Objectively measure the strength of the tongue and lips.

– Compare patient data with standard data according to sex and age.

– Carry out rehabilitation exercises with direct feedback.

– Measure and document patient improvement.

This equipment allows us to make an objective diagnosis with two simple tests: the measurement of muscular strength and endurance.

The force measurement is based on measuring the maximum pressure that a patient can exert when pressing a lingual sensor or balloon against the palatal vault with his or her tongue. Likewise, by changing the position of the sensor, lip force can be measured. Regarding the measurement of resistance, this equipment allows the evaluation of tongue fatigue by measuring its resistance. A low resistance would indicate considerable fatigue.

REHABILITATION

Biofeedback equipment facilitates simple exercise therapy to improve tongue and lip muscle competence and swallowing behavior. The clinician must determine the target pressure and the number of repetitions to be performed by the patient in order for the patient to perform a rehabilitation exercise routine.

About brand
PróFono is a Brazilian brand of instruments for clinical speech therapy. Its catalogue focuses on three areas usually worked by hand in the clinic and which PróFono turns into something measurable: orofacial neuromuscular electrostimulation, resisted lip and tongue exercise, and voice and airflow work.

PróFono instruments by area of work

Within the electrostimulation category, PróFono is the home of the consumables and accessories. The conductive pen extender reaches specific points, the Stim care is the range's portable neuromuscular electrostimulator, and the facial mask with extraoral electrodes lets you treat several muscle groups at once. For resisted exercise, PróFono makes a family of exercisers with different loads: the facial exerciser for the perioral muscles, the tongue exerciser and the lip exerciser. The haltere-style lingual weights let you increase load gradually, which is hard to achieve with isolated oral praxis.

Voice and aerodynamics

In voice and aerodynamics, the semi-occluded vocal tract exercise cup (SOVTE) applies the tube-in-water principle with stable depth control, and the Scape-scope makes nasal escape visible in hypernasality, useful when the patient cannot hear their own error.
