This study aims to assess intra-rater and inter-rater reliability in measuring tongue motor skills in children.
Several motor skills of the tongue can be described: tongue elevation, swallowing, and protrusion. They are all relevant for a wide array of disorders, including neurological, musculoskeletal, and respiratory conditions. An ongoing study by our team is attempting to collect normative data on these motor skills in a pediatric cohort (NCT06166680). From this ongoing study, 56 subjects will be selected to assess the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability in measuring these motor skills.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 | Other | 1. Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire. |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Test-retest reproducibility of tongue peak pressure | Tongue peak pressure during elevation and protrusion movements will be measured. The inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of these measures will be computed. | Measured at baseline, and then at two other time points. These three time points will each be interspersed by a one-week to one-month interval |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Test-retest reproducibility of tongue endurance | Tongue endurance during elevation and protrusion movements will be measured. The inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of these measures will be computed. | Measured at baseline, and then at two other time points. These three time points will each be interspersed by a one-week to one-month interval |

| Anthropometry | Other | 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 | Other | 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 | Other | 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 | Other | 8. Motricité Bucco-Linguo-Faciale (MBLF) test. |
|
| Test-retest reproducibility of tongue pressure during swallowing | Tongue pressure during swallowing will be measured. The inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of these measures will be computed. | Measured at baseline, and then at two other time points. These three time points will each be interspersed by a one-week to one-month interval |
| Test-retest reproducibility of tongue mobility restriction | Assessed through the ratio between maximal mouth opening and maximal mouth opening with tongue to palate. The inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of these measures will be computed. | Measured at baseline, and then at two other time points. These three time points will each be interspersed by a one-week to one-month interval |
| Test-retest reproducibility of orofacial praxis | Orofacial praxis will be assessed. The inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of this measure will be computed. | Measured at baseline, and then at two other time points. These three time points will each be interspersed by a one-week to one-month interval |
