Abstract
The decrease of lip strength results in the
absence of lip contact, which may result in musculature
neuromuscular imbalance and affect several functions,
such as harmonic dental growth, swallowing, speech and
breathing. The measurement of lip strength is an important
task in clinical speech pathology practice. This paper
describes the development of a measurement system to be
used in the processes of force assessment of lips. The user
can follow the measurement by means of an interface,
which allows registration of information, such as patient
personal data, measurement and a brief report. The developed system may be used on personal computer at Windows platform
