Answer to Question 1
A palatal lift prosthesis is a device that is typically anchored in the teeth. The purpose of this prosthesis is to elevate the soft palate so that it more closely approximates the position of the velum for closure. This prosthesis helps clients with muscular weakness, especially as a result of inadequate muscle development or a neurological deficit that is caused by a neurological disorder.
Answer to Question 2
When the speech therapist performs am oral-peripheral examination, the therapist examines the tongue for relative tongue strength. When the therapist asks the client to push forcefully with his or her tongue sideways against resistance, the therapist may be able to identify whether the client has adequate and symmetrical strength of each side of the tongue. When the tongue seems to have greater strength in one direction than the other, the therapist should consider activities to strengthen the tongue's musculature. Improving muscle strength of the weaker side of the tongue will improve muscle tone and muscle control.
