Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Chewing evaluation
Chewing evaluation will be determined by a scale that classifies chewing function on an ordinal scale with five levels between 0 and 4 based on the sequence of functional movements during chewing.
15 days
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Gross motor function evaluation
15 days
Trunk control evaluation
15 days
Study Arms (1)
Children with cerebral palsy
Children with a diagnosis of spastic cerebral palsy aged between 2 to 12 years who will be referred by pediatric neurologists will be included. Children under the age of 24 months, and used any medicine and/or oral appliances that could affect the chewing performance, will be excluded. Chewing evaluation will be performed.
Interventions
Chewing evaluation will be performed. An experienced physical therapist who will take a scale training session will do the chewing evaluation according to the chewing performance scale.This scale classifies chewing function on an ordinal scale with five levels between 0 and 4 based on the sequence of functional movements during chewing.
Eligibility Criteria
Children with a diagnosis of spastic cerebral palsy
You may qualify if:
- Having a diagnosis of cerebral palsy
- Referring by a pediatric neurologist
- Aging between 2 to 12 years
You may not qualify if:
- Aging under the age of 24 months
- Using any medicine and/or oral appliances that could affect the chewing performance
