Clinical Trial 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).


Clinical Trial Description

Feeding and oral motor interventions address different aspects of feeding difficulties, reflecting the range in specific problems associated with feeding and nutrition in CP. The trunk plays an important role in the organization of postural control and balance reactions because it holds the centre of all body mass and holds therefore, the centre of gravity. The trunk also provides stable attachment points to those muscles that control the head and neck regions. "Neck and trunk stabilization exercises" were the basis of static and dynamic balance abilities, and that increased neck and trunk stability might have had a positive effect thereon. To achieve the alignment of the head with the trunk, the pelvis must be stabilized. This has important consequences for the entire process of swallowing. If the head is not stable, then the fine movements of the jaw and tongue needed for feeding will be impaired. With feeding and oral motor interventions and structured neck and trunk stabilization exercises, these parameters are positively affected. ;
