Q

Describe the Oral preparatory phase

A
  • Under voluntary control
  • Oral manipulation that results in the formation of a bolus of food

Q

Describe factors involved in type of suction?

A
  • Compression and suction are required

Q

Feeding with a Full-Term Infant
 (37–42 weeks)

A

Strong oral reflexes:
Rooting
Gag and cough

Amount of liquid is determined by:
Rate or speed of sucking
Force of suction or compression
Length of feeding time

17
Q

Describe True Sucking

A
  • Tongue moves up and down
  • Reduced wide jaw excursions
  • Less liquid loss
  • Nipple suction force increases
  • By 4 months, 20 or more sucks before pausing
18
Q
What is the Progression of Self-feeding?
Takes cereal from spoon
Sucks on cracker
Finger feeds
Dips spoon in food
Scoops food
May stab with fork
A

Look in chart pg394

19
Q

What types of things are included in a feeding history

A

pg396

20
Q

Why does the OT want to know about mealtime preparation?

A

look in book

21
Q

Neuromotor Evaluation involves?

A
  • Observation of movement
  • Transition patterns
  • Muscle tone
  • Head/neck alignment
  • Postural control
22
Q

What oral structured need to be examined? (6)

A

Jaw, Larynx, Dentition, Hard and Soft Palates, Tongue

23
Q

What do you have to analyze when looking at oral structures?

A
  • Symmetry
  • Size
  • Range of motion
  • Structural appearance
24
Q

What is Videofluoroscopic Swallow Study (VFSS)?
What does it asses? What does it detect?
What does it identify?

A
  • Radiological procedure
  • Assesses oral, pharyngeal, and upper esophageal anatomy and stages of swallowing
  • Detects problems related to head and neck positioning
  • Helps identify compensatory techniques to minimize risk of aspiration.
25
Q

Medical Conditions Affecting Eating are?

A

-Cerebral palsy
-Hypotonia
-Oral-facial anomalies
-Gastroesophageal reflux
Aka GER
If more severe may lead to GERD

26
Q

  • Are head, neck, shoulders, and pelvis well aligned?
  • Is space adequate for eating activities?
  • Are noise and activity levels conducive to eating?
27
Q

Guiding Questions to Evaluate Contexts

for Feeding: Social?

A
  • Who feeds the child?
  • Who is present during the meal?
  • What is the nature of the social interaction among family members during the meal?

28
Q

Guiding Questions to Evaluate Contexts

for Feeding: Temporal?

A
  • Is sufficient time allotted and available for a relaxing meal?
  • How often is the child fed?

30
Q

Safety issues while feeding?

A
  • Aspiration
  • Nutritional status
  • Gloves during therapy
