The circular unit at the top of the Tongueometer device is designed to be a lip guard to prevent the bulb from slipping into the back of the mouth. Users can adjust the length of the tubing for optimal placement. Adjust the length of the tubing so that the mouth guard is flush with your lips. - Page 9 Target ranges should be determined by your SLP. To perform the exercise: Open the Repetitive Strength module within the Tongueometer application. Adjust the target range by sliding the blue dots on the “Min-Max Bar” to set the desired minimum and maximum pressure range.
