简要总结
This study aim to investigate the effect of banding on saliva control and quality of life in children with cerebral palsy.
详细描述
Cerebral palsy describes a whole set of permanent disorders or disorders in the development of movement and posture, attributed to non-progressive disorders occurring in the developing fetal or infant brain, causing activity limitation. Motor disorders are often accompanied by sensory, perception, communication and behavioral disorders, epilepsy and secondary musculoskeletal problems.
Kinesio Taping has been proven to increase local circulation, reduce local edema and provide a positional stimulus for muscle, skin, or facial structures, regulating sensory input, and activating regions in the brain. KT is currently used to improve oral control in children with neurological and neuromuscular disorders and provides a reduction in saliva flow and frequency. However, knowledge of the potential of using neuromuscular bandages to manage the dribble flow has been limited.

结局指标
主要结局
Saliva Flow Amount
时间窗: 2 days after taping
The drool flow rate of children will be evaluated with DQ5m ("Drooling Quotient 5 minute"). Saliva flow rate can be evaluated by a standard observation of 5 minutes. The test is applied at least 1 hour after eating. Two separate measurements are taken in resting position, at rest and during any activity. The mouth must be empty and clean before the evaluation begins and if there is a saliva it will be removed. The evaluation is done every 15 seconds for 5 minutes and 1 point is given if there is a drooping out of the jaw and / or clothing. If there is no saliva output within 15 seconds, 0 is given. The evaluation is completed in 20 periods. When these periods are completed after 5 minutes, the data obtained are calculated with the formula. The result obtained is interpreted (0 = no new saliva flow 100% = new saliva flow in all periods). The application is valid and reliable.
Sociodemographic Features
时间窗: baseline
Sociodemographic information such as age, gender, height, weight, education level of the parents will be asked.
Intensity and Frequency of Dribble Flow
时间窗: 2 days after taping
The "Saliva Severity and Frequency Scale" will be used to measure the severity and frequency of children's drool flow. Scale dribble intensity 0- No dribble 1- Light dribble (Only wet lips) 2- Moderate dribble (Drip on wet lips and chin) 3- Dribble dribble (Dribble drops to chin, from there to clothes) 4- Too much dribble (Dribble to clothes and objects drips) as a 0-4 score. It ranks the saliva frequency from 0 to 3 as follows; 0. No dribble 1. Rare dribble 2. Frequent dribble 3. Constant flowing dribble. The scale is valid and reliable.
次要结局
- Evaluation of the Effect on Family(2 days after taping)
