description BACKGROUND: Deficiencies in oral motor function and feeding skills are common in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Oral motor therapy is a useful method to improve oral motor function and feeding skills. Oral motor facilitation technique (OMFT) is a newly designed comprehensive oral motor therapy, including postural control, sensory adaptation, breathing control, sensorimotor facilitation, and direct feeding. METHODS: This study was performed to identify the effect of OMFT on oral motor function and feeding skills in children with CP. A total of 21 children with CP (3–10 years, GMFCS III–V) participated in 16 weeks (16 sessions) of OMFT. The effects on oral motor function and feeding skills were assessed using the Oral Motor Assessment Scale (OMAS) before the treatment, 8 and 16 weeks after OMFT. Data were analyzed using the Friedman test and post-hoc analysis. RESULTS: Significant improvement was found in oral motor function and feeding skills including mouth closure, lip closure on the utensil, lip closure during deglutition, control of the food during swallowing, mastication, straw suction, and control of liquid during deglutition after OMFT. Mouth closure was the most effective and mastication was the least effective item. Sixteen weeks is more effective than 8 weeks of OMFT. CONCLUSION: OMFT could be an effective and useful oral motor therapy protocol to improve oral motor function and feeding skills in children with CP.
