A Maximum-Force-Dependent Protocol for Assessing Labial Force Control.
Amerman, James D.
Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v36 n3 p460-65 Jun 1993
This study, involving 20 adults, introduced a relative target method to examine the fine force control characteristics of the lips. Load equalization for each lip was accomplished by establishing four submaximal target levels related to maximum voluntary closing force. The upper lip was found to be more stable in controlling force at all levels. (JDD)
