Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Inter-rater reliability and intra-rater reliability
Tongue protrusion, elevation and swallowing measurements will be assessed at three time points, each interspersed by a one-week to one-month interval.
Assessments will be conducted by the same rater during two of these time points, whereas another independent rater will conduct the assessments of the third time point.
Sleep quality assessment
1\. Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire.
Anthropometry
2\. Anthropometric data : 2.1 Height; 2.2 Weight; 2.3 Maximal mouth opening; 2.4 Maximal mouth opening with tongue to palate The measures 2.3 and 2.4 will be realized via the Quick Tongue-Tie assessment tool
Tongue strength assessment
3\. Tongue pressure while swallowing. 4. Tongue peak pressure during tongue elevation. 5. Tongue peak pressure during tongue protrusion. These measures will be realized via the IOPI (Iowa Oral Performance Instrument) device.
Tongue endurance assessment
6\. The tongue endurance during tongue elevation. 7. The tongue endurance during tongue protrusion. These measures will be realized via the IOPI (Iowa Oral Performance Instrument) device and a timer.
Orofacial praxis assessment
8\. Motricité Bucco-Linguo-Faciale (MBLF) test.
