| Research Abstract |
It is considered that myofunctional therapy is one of the useful therapy for subjects with lip incompetence. However it is still unclear whether blood flow is associated with myofunctional therapy. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of myofunctional therapy using blood flow (BF) and electromyographic activity (EMG) in subjects with lip incompetence. It is significant difference in BF and EMG between control and subfects with lip incompetence.
