Comparison of the two types of apparatus that Masuda et al., developed. A, B: Calibration lines for the measurement of multidirectional lip-closing force for devices using air-pressure sensors and strain gauges, respectively. The output of each apparatus is represented by voltage (V) in the abscissa and force (gram-force (gf)) in the ordinate. C: Radar chart of the impulses of lip-closing force in one subject. The blue and pink lines indicate multidirectional lip closing, as measured by devices using air pressure sensors and strain gauges, respectively.
