简要总结
This study examined the effect of Functional Chewing Training(FuCT) on tongue thrust and drooling in children with cerebral palsy.
详细描述
Children were divided into two groups: The FuCT group and control group receiving classical oral motor exercises. Each group received training for 12 weeks. Oral motor assessment was performed. Chewing performance level was determined with the Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale(KCPS). Tongue thrust severity was evaluated with the Tongue Thrust Rating Scale(TTRS). The Drooling Severity and Frequency Scale(DSFS) was used to evaluate drooling severity and frequency. The evaluations were performed before and after treatment.
