Development and application of a perioral force measurement system for infants with cleft lip and palate

As muscles converge or intermingle around the perioral area, and it change by the sequential therapy for cleft lip and palate (CLP) infants. The force of perioral muscles has a great influence on maxillary development and morphology. Perioral force in CLP infants has not been well studied, and accurate and reliable measurement of perioral force in infants remains a challenge. The aim of this study was to investigate a new way to accurately and reliably measure perioral force in UCLP infants and explore the change before and after cheiloplasty.
