Abstract

Goal of this study is to introduce newly developed Oral Motor Facilitation Technique(OMFT), to identify effect of oral motor therapy on oral praxis and oral function of Down syndrome child. OMFT is comprehensive oral motor therapy for improving sensory adaptation, oral sensori-motor function, oral motor coordination of oro-facial structure by therapist's direct manual stroking. Subject was 10years old down syndrome boy. Treatment was practiced 8 times, 15minutes per time, from May to July, 2020. Oral praxis, drooling, quality of chewing ability were tested before and after treatments. Every single items of Oral Praxis Test was increased. Severity and frequency of drooling were decreased. Quality of chewing ability is improved. Through this case study, we can find the positive effect of OMFT on oral praxis, drooling, chewing ability of Down syndrome child.

본 연구는 새로 개발된 구강운동치료 접근법인 구강운동촉진기술(OMFT) 치료법을 소개하고, 다운증후군 아동 사례를 통해 구강감각운동 치료 접근이 구강실행기능 및 구강기능에 미치는 효과를 확인하고자 한다. 구강운동촉진기술은 치료사의 직접적인 치료 접근을 통해 얼굴 구강 구조물들의 감각, 근력, 근긴장도, 구강운동 협응증진을 통한 섭식 및 구강실행 기능 향상을 목적으로 하는 구강운동 치료법이다. 대상 아동은 다운증후군 남자 1명(10세)으로, 2020년 5월~7월, 주 1회, 15분의 구강운동촉진기술 치료(8회)를 하였으며, 치료 전 후 구강실행기능, 침흘림, 씹기 기능을 비교하였다. 치료 결과 구강실행기능의 모든 항목에서 수행이 증진되었다. 침 흘림의 양과 빈도가 감소하였고 씹기 기능의 질적인 증진을 보였다. 본 연구를 통해 구강운동촉진기술을 적용한 구강운동치료 접근이 다운증후군 아동의 구강실행기능 및 씹기 기능 증진과 침 흘림 감소에 미치는 효과를 확인하였다.
