Tongue and bilateral masseter muscle thickness and elasticity, expressed as shear wave velocity (SWV), were assessed using ultrasonography and sonoelastography. Tongue strength and endurance were evaluated using Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI). Group differences were analyzed using the Kruskal\u2014Wallis test followed by Mann\u2014Whitney U post hoc comparisons. Associations between FOIS scores and IOPI or sonographic measurements were evaluated using Spearman's rank correlation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Twenty-seven men and fourteen women were included.
