The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of visual observational conditions on
performance during a standardized tongue‐protrusion training (TPT) task and to evaluate …

The importance of tongue mobility on speech, oral food transport, and swallowing is well
recognized. However, whether the individual tongue mobility influences postoperative …
