Summary

There is no dysphagia spesific and patient/parent centered outcome instrument in the pediatric population. The purpose of this investigation is to develop the Pediatric version of the Eating Assessment Tool (PEDI-EAT-10) and investigate its validity and reliability.

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

OTHER

SWALLOWING EVALUATION

Swallowing function of the CP patients will be imaged and recorded with Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study (VFSS). The oral cavity, pharynx, larynx and just below the upper esophageal sphincter are visible. 3 trials of 3 ml of liquids will be used and the worst score will be considered for calculation. The Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS) will be used to assess dysphagia severity. The PAS is an ordinal scale consisting of eight scores. Scores are determined primarily by the depth to which material passes in the airway and by whether or not material entering the airway is expelled.

OTHER

The Functional Independence Measure

The Functional Independence Measure for Children (Wee-FIM) will be used to assess the functional independence level of the CP children. The Wee-FIM is developed to emphasize habilitative and developmental aspects of children with special health care needs, genetic disorders, developmental disabilities, and acquired disabilities.

OTHER

The PEDI-EAT-10

The PEDI-EAT-10 will also be administered.
