Is training of the lingual musculature necessary to treat orofacial functions?
Exercícios para a língua são realmente necessários para tratar as funções orofaciais?
Roberta Lopes de Castro Martinelli; Irene Queiroz Marchesan
Abstract
This letter aims at: a) discussing about the anatomy and physiology of the tongue, taking into consideration what the literature reports about the specificity of exercises, b) reflecting about the training of the lingual musculature during speech therapy, and c) incentivizing more research in this field.
Resumo
Essa carta tem o objetivo de: a) explanar sobre a anatomofisiologia da língua, levantando algumas considerações sobre o que a literatura tem mostrado a respeito da especificidade dos exercícios, b) suscitar reflexões sobre a prática de exercícios de língua na clínica fonoaudiológica e c) estimular mais pesquisas nessa área.
