Volunteers are needed to determine whether there is a relationship between tongue muscle performance and skeletal muscle flexibility.
Participants will complete tongue strength and endurance measures using the IOPI device and perform a series of movements to asses flexibility using the DARI Motion Capture system. Participation will include a one-time commitment lasting approximately an hour at the Human Performance Laboratory, 210 Heskett Center.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Participants must be age 18 or older
- No known neurological disorder or recent oral surgery
- No known muscular, orthopedic or functional movement disorder
- Not under the influence of illicit drugs or alcohol
Those interested in volunteering for this study should schedule online.
