Researchers are developing standardized oral vibrotactile instruments for assessing the oral tactile sensory system. This technology aims to benefit those with orofacial myofunctional disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Sensory Neuroscience
  • Speech-Language Pathology

Background:

  • The oral tactile sensory system is crucial for functions like speech and swallowing.
  • Standardized assessment tools for this system are lacking.
  • Previous work reported initial development of oral vibrotactile instrumentation in 1990.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present current research and future directions in the development of standardized oral vibrotactile instrumentation.
  • To highlight the potential benefits of this instrumentation for orofacial myofunctional disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Ongoing research and development of vibrotactile devices for oral sensory assessment.
  • Focus on standardization and practical application of the instrumentation.
