Suprahyoid and infrahyoid ('perihyoid') muscles are two groups of muscles that are important for swallowing physiology and function. One way to assess periphyoid muscle strength within the context of a clinical swallow evaluation is with the open mouth-maximal isometric press (OM-MIP). The OM-MIP is a simple and objective way to quantify perihyoid muscle strength. OM-MIP has age- and sex-based normative data to assist in determining if a patient is presenting with perihyoid strength values that are within or outside of normal limits. OM-MIP involves using a handheld dynamometer. Handheld dynamometers require a one-time purchase (i.e., no continuous upkeep, unlike IOPI or Tongueometer, which require purchasing new tongue bulbs), with analogue dynamometers (e.g., Jamar) typically costing $150-$300 USD. To measure OM-MIP, the examinee leans forward from their waist, rests their elbows on their knees, holds on to the handheld dynamometer, and tucks their chin with maximum force against the
