简要总结
This study aims to assess intra-rater and inter-rater reliability in measuring tongue motor skills in children.
详细描述
Several motor skills of the tongue can be described: tongue elevation, swallowing, and protrusion. They are all relevant for a wide array of disorders, including neurological, musculoskeletal, and respiratory conditions. An ongoing study by our team is attempting to collect normative data on these motor skills in a pediatric cohort (NCT06166680). From this ongoing study, 56 subjects will be selected to assess the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability in measuring these motor skills.

结局指标
主要结局
Test-retest reproducibility of tongue peak pressure
时间窗: Measured at baseline, and then at two other time points. These three time points will each be interspersed by a one-week to one-month interval
Tongue peak pressure during elevation and protrusion movements will be measured. The inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of these measures will be computed.
次要结局
- Test-retest reproducibility of tongue endurance(Measured at baseline, and then at two other time points. These three time points will each be interspersed by a one-week to one-month interval)
- Test-retest reproducibility of tongue pressure during swallowing(Measured at baseline, and then at two other time points. These three time points will each be interspersed by a one-week to one-month interval)
- Test-retest reproducibility of tongue mobility restriction(Measured at baseline, and then at two other time points. These three time points will each be interspersed by a one-week to one-month interval)
- Test-retest reproducibility of orofacial praxis(Measured at baseline, and then at two other time points. These three time points will each be interspersed by a one-week to one-month interval)
