Why is the Froggymouth worn in front of the television?
THE TELEVISION HELPS MAINTAIN THE GAZE, ENSURING A HORIZONTAL LINGUAL PLANE.
Keeping the lingual plane horizontal is crucial because a bowed head would cause the patient to drool, delaying the swallowing order from the brainstem.
Moreover, for many patients, watching television is seen as a pleasurable activity.
This activates the reward circuits managed by the limbic system, promoting the automation of the newly engrammed circuit.
