What are Beckman Oral and Facial Exercises?
These are a series of interventions which provide assisted movement to activate oral and facial muscle contraction and to provide movement against resistance to build strength. The focus of these interventions is to increase functional response to pressure and movement, range, strength, variety and control of movement for the lips, cheeks, jay and tongue. Assessment is based on a clinically defined functional parameter of minimal competence which does not require the cognitive participation of the patient.
