Tongue Proactive Strengthening Exercise Program Following Partial/Hemi Glossectomy and Reconstruction

The Tongueometer device features an air-filled bulb that is placed against the roof of the mouth by the tongue for resistance training. This setup allows for an initial measurement of the patient's maximum tongue strength and endurance, which helps establish goals that are specific to each patient. The device connects to a mobile application that provides visual biofeedback, ensuring consistent monitoring as the patient completes exercises using the tongue bulb for resistance. Once the patient's goals are set based on their initial measurements, the app offers two exercise modules designed to improve both tongue strength and endurance.
