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 (
