ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, Children and Youth Version (ICF-CY) framed oral motor therapy combined with acupoint massage intervention on children with cerebral palsy swallowing disorder.Methods:From September 2018 to September 2019, 80 children with cerebral palsy accompanied by dysphagia who were diagnosed and treated in the Department of Neurological Rehabilitation of our hospital were selected as the study subjects, and were divided into the experimental group (40 cases) and the control group (40 cases) by random number table method. A total of 76 patients completed the study. On the basis of routine swallowing training and oral movement intervention, the experimental group was comprehensively evaluated from the aspects of body function and structure, activity and participation, and environmental factors with ICF-CY theory as the framework, and was given oral and facial acupoint massage for 12 weeks. The control group was given conventional swallowing training and oral exercise intervention for 12 weeks. The modified water swallow test was used to evaluate the effect of improving swallowing disorder in two groups of children after 12 weeks of intervention. The improvement of oral motor function in two groups of children after 4 and 12 weeks of intervention was evaluated by using the Grading Criteria for Evaluation of Oral Motor Function.Results:After 12 weeks of intervention, the total effective rate of swallowing disorder improvement in the experimental group and the control group were 89.47% (34/38) and 63.16% (24/38), respectively, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 7.28, P<0.05). After 4 and 12 weeks of intervention, the functional scores of oral motors in the experimental group were (67.13±2.35) and (82.08±2.33) points, respectively, which were higher than those of the control group at the same time (56.16±2.57) and (65.63±2.54) points, and the differences were statistically significant ( t values were -3.320, -4.433 P<0.05). After 4 and 12 weeks of intervention, the children's functional scores of oral motors in each group were higher than those in each group before intervention. Compared with the group before intervention, t values of the experimental group were -5.377 and -5.376; t values of the control group were -10.715 and -17.486; compared to the group with 4-week intervention, t value of the experimental group was -12.732; t value of the control group was -13.281, all the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The results of repeated measures analysis of variance showed that the time effect, grouping effect, and the interaction between time effect and grouping effect of functional scores of oral motors were statistically significant ( F values were 426.780, 9.084, 26.538, P < 0.05). Conclusions:Oral motor therapy combined with acupoint massage based on ICF-CY framework can effectively promotes the recovery and reconstruction of mouth perception and motor function in children with cerebral palsy, significantly improves the children's dysphagia and their ability to actively participate in feeding.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the effect of mouth muscle training game on salivation cerebral palsy children.@*Methods@#Sixty-eight children with cerebral palsy combined with salivation were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, with 34 cases in each group. The control group received routine rehabilitation treatment, while the experimental group performed oral muscle training game on the basis of the control group. Both the two groups were assessed by teacher salivation grading (TDS) and oral motor function assessment grading standards before and 8 weeks after intervention for salivation and oral motor function of cerebral palsy children.@*Results@#After 8 weeks of intervention, there were 30 children with grade III-V salivation turned to grade I-IV in the experimental group, and 21 children with grade III-V salivation turned to grade I-IV in the control group, with the total effective rate of TDS of 88.2%(30/34) and 61.8%(21/34), respectively, and there was statistically difference (χ2= 5.02, P<0.05). The score of oral transport function in the experimental group was 87.68±12.93, which was higher than that of 76.53±10.92 in the control group, and there was statistically differences (t=3.841, P<0.01).@*Conclusions@#Oral muscle training games can stimulate self-exploration and training for oral movement of cerebral palsy children, so as to improve the range, flexibility and strength of the jaw, lip and tongue movement, and promote the self-control of swallowing of saliva, reduce the salivation and improve the quality of life.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of early rehabilitative nursing intervention for baby patients with serious viral encephalitis who had swallowing difficulty. Method We divided 44 baby patients into the rehabilitation group and the control group. Routine nursing measures were given to the control group and additional rehabilitative exercises were given to the rehabilitation group based on the routine measures. We evaluated the swallowing functions in both groups before nursing intervention and 20 days after it by water-swallow test and swallowing dysfunction scale. Result Symptoms were better as evaluated by water-swallow test in the rehabilitation group after rehabilitative nursing intervention compared with that before intervention (P<0.01) and that in the control group (P<0.01). Swallowing dysfunction in the rehabilitation group was better than that in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusions To give early swallowing rehabilitative exercises for baby patients with serious viral encephalitis who had swallowing difficulty could improve their swallowing function and decrease complications so as to improve their life quality.
