Relationship between Oral Motor Skills, Gross Motor Attainment and Nutrition in Preschool Children with Cerebral Palsy

脑瘫（CP）是儿童期身体残疾的最常见原因，约占活产婴儿的2/1000。正如大肌肉的运动可能会改变一样，脑部病变也会影响与进食有关的口腔肌肉。本研究将以人群为基础，研究18-24个月和30-36个月（矫正年龄）的CP患儿的口腔运动和喂养技能，以及它们与大肌肉运动技能（运动和姿势）和营养之间的关系。

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the most common cause of physical disability in childhood, present in approximately 2/1000 live births. Just as movement of the larger muscles may be altered, the brain lesion can also affect the oral muscles associated with eating. This study will explore oral motor and feeding skills in a population-based sample of children with CP at two ages, 18-24 and 30-36 months (corrected ages) and relationships with gross motor skills (movement and posture) and nutrition.
