Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the characteristics of oral sensory-motor function in children with functional articulation disorders (FAD). MethodsFrom June, 2021 to January, 2022, 61 children with FAD in the Department of Children's Health of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were as case group, 90 normal healthy children were as control group. They were assessed with Oral Sensory-Motor Assessment, and were compared among different genders and different ages. Hyperactivity problems were assessed using Conners Parent Symptoms Questionnaire, and their oral sensory-motor function were compared between patients with hyperactivity problem (n = 13) and without hyperactivity problem (n = 48). ResultsThe total score and the scores of oral sensation, mandibular motion, lip motion and tongue motion were significantly lower in the case group than in the control group (t > 4.471, P < 0.001). There were significant differences in the total score and motor function scores among different ages in the control group (H > 17.015, P < 0.001), and they increased with age. There were significant differences in the total score, oral sensory and motor function scores among different ages in the case group (H > 10.567, P < 0.01), and they increased with age. The total scores, and the scores of mandibular, lip and tongue movements were lower in the boys and girls of the case group than in the same gender of the control group (t > 2.49, P < 0.05). The total score and the scores of the lip and tongue movements were lower in boys than in girls in the case group (|Z| > 2.409, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the total score and other scores between the patients with hyperactivity problem and without hyperactivity problem (P > 0.05). ConclusionThe oral sensory-motor function is poor for children with FAD, and can develop with age in both normal and FAD children.
