Myofunctional activity of the tongue is impaired during wakefulness in non- or mildly obese patients with moderate-to-severe OSAS. This study supports the lingual myofunctional assessment using the MBLF in screening of moderate-to-severe OSAS. This simple tool could help clinicians to select patients with suspected moderate-to-severe OSAS for polysomnography.
