중증도에 따른 경직형 뇌성마비 아동의 조음교대운동속도 과제 수행력

Abstract

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) demonstrate a lack of range in, strength of, and rate of movements and coordination because they feel it is hard to control the muscles for respiration, phonation, resonance, and articulation. Diadochokinetic tasks that involve fast repetitions of meaningless syllables evaluate oromotor abilities and coordination skills. The result of diadochokinetic tasks depends on the severity of cerebral palsy. Thus, this study separates severity by GMFCS, which is developed for the objective evaluation of motor disorders of children with cerebral palsy and examines the performance of AMR and SMR. The average age of the 31 spastic cerebral palsied children was five years and five months of age. The types of CP and GMFCS were based on medical records; subjects consisted of 21 diplegic, 7 hemiplegic, 2 quadriplegic, and 1 triplegic types.
