Nineteen healthy individuals composed the control group. All participants were evaluated using the Orofacial Myofunctional Evaluation with Scores (OMES) protocol and the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI) for tongue strength measurements. The tongue functionality index was obtained by summing the z-scores of the total tongue score and saliva-swallowing strength.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients with DFD showed lower total OMES scores (indicating worse performance), lower tongue performance scores, and reduced tongue strength during swallowing (P &amp;lt; .01).
