Item Caracterización de las pruebas para la medición de la actividad muscular lingual: Una revisión sistemática(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Castillo Dávila, Laura Marcela; Rayo Cano, Carolina; Arguello Vélez, Patricia (Directora)Introduction: The measurement of muscle activity by means of a direct test is decisive in the speech therapy diagnosis in the myofunctional area, it is important to identify what tests exist, application methodology and scientific evidence to determine its use or not within the myofunctional consultations. Objective: To determine the existing evidence between what type of tests are available in the literature and databases for the evaluation of lingual muscle activity published in the last 5 years. Methodology: This systematic review was carried out between September 2018 and April 2019, through a descriptive / observational study, using 4 databases of free access provided by the library of the Santiago de Cali University (Sciencedirect, Ebsco, PubMed and Gale), with the descriptors "tongue pressure", "tongue thrust", "tongue force" and "tongue strength"; making combinations with the Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT), articles in different languages of the last 5 years were taken into account. Finally, 70 articles were obtained. Analysis and discussion: The relevance of the use of the term and the evaluation methodology with which the muscular characterization is proposed is relevant for the direct, objective investigative rigor of the myofunctional evaluation and the prognosis of treatment in an orofacial muscular imbalance Conclusions: To determine a direct instrument or test that is useful for the measurement of muscle activity that complies with a standardized protocol is scarce, there is still very little scientific evidence of the instruments found to establish a 100% reliable test. IOPI (iowa oral performance instrument) and JMS Swallogin tongue pressure are the tests that are most used, however their protocols and application techniques do not agree in all the studies in which they were used.
