由于大量早产儿、身体虚弱者和慢性病婴儿的存活，新生儿重症监护病房经常遇到喂养问题。然而，此类喂养问题尚未得到很好的描述。为了对新生儿期喂养不良的口腔运动模式进行分类，设计了一种临床评估工具来描述营养性吸吮期间下颌和舌头的功能。新生儿口腔运动评估量表将 13 个下颌运动特征和 13 个舌头运动特征分为正常、紊乱和功能障碍三类。该量表对 40 名婴儿进行了测试，以建立参与者间的可靠性，根据可靠性对量表进行必要的修订，并尝试进一步鉴定和描述新生儿期吸吮混乱和功能失调的模式。
Feeding problems are frequently encountered in the neonatal intensive care unit as a result of the survival of greater numbers of preterm, medically fragile, and chronically ill infants. Such feeding problems have not, however, been well described. In an attempt to categorize the oral-motor patterns that underlie poor feeding in the neonatal period, a clinical assessment tool was devised that describes jaw and tongue function during nutritive sucking. The Neonatal Oral-Motor Assessment Scale separates 13 characteristics of jaw movement and 13 characteristics of tongue movement into categories of normal, disorganized, and dysfunctional. This scale was administered to 40 infants to establish interrater reliability, revise the scale as necessary based on the reliability, and attempt to further qualify and describe patterns of disorganized and dysfunctional sucking in the neonatal period.
