The Orofacial Exam. First step to assessing clefts

25 de marzo de 2011 a las 6:56
The orofacial exam constitutes an essential part of the broader clinical speech evaluation for children with cleft lip and palate. The goal of the exam is to identify any structural, oral-motor or sensory deviations that might explain the presenting speech disorder. The findings help to determine if the problem should be treated with speech therapy or requires further surgery or other physical management.
"We're looking for any abnormal structures or structural relationships, any movement problems with the tongue and lips, for example, or any reduced sensory areas within the immediate extra and intraoral structures," said Judith Trost-Cardamone, PhD, CCC-SLP, professor in the Department of Communication Disorders and Sciences at California State University at Northridge.
In cleft lip and palate, the orfacial exam focuses on the oral and oropharyngeal structures, while also examining the oral-motor and oral-sensory components.
