Summary

Our study is planned to investigate the effects of neck and trunk stabilization exercises, which are structured from Neurodevelopmental therapy method-Bobath concept (NDT-B) principles, on feeding and swallowing activity in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) who take feeding and oral motor intervention strategies. The cases were divided into two groups, which is the group receiving feeding and oral motor intervention strategies+structured neck and trunk stabilization exercises (n=20) (Study Group) and those receiving feeding and oral motor intervention strategies (n=20) (Control Group).

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

OTHER

Structured neck and trunk stabilization exercises

Intensive structured neck and trunk stabilization exercises based on Neurodevelopmental therapy method-Bobath concept principles. These exercises were performed for 6 weeks, 2 days a week, 45 minutes for a total of 12 sessions.

OTHER

Feeding and oral motor intervention strategies

Feeding and oral motor intervention strategies program were performed for 6 weeks, 2 days a week, 45 minutes for a total of 12 sessions.

OTHER

Caregiver training related to feeding

In caregiver training related to feeding; a) positioning and feeding technique during feeding, b) ensuring safety for aspiration, c) using suitable containers and ingredients, d) adjusting (adapting) food consistency properly, e) preparing small amounts of high-calorie, balanced diet and f) reducing food spillage while feeding and how to ensure efficacy for shortening the feeding time, g) providing appropriate postural and physical support for self-feeding. All of these activities were continued for 6 weeks with a home program.
