목적 : 본 연구는 연하장애 환자를 대상으로 구강안면기능을 평가할 수 있는 포괄적 구강안면기능척도(Comprehensive Oro-Facial Function Scale; COFFS)를 개발하고자 실시되었다. 연구방법 : COFFS의 문항 구성과 신뢰도를 검증하는 연구로 4개의 선행 연구를 선택 분석하여 예비문항을 수집하였고, 전문가를 대상으로 2차의 설문조사를 통해 내용타당도(Content Validity Ratio; CVR)를 도출하였다. 평가 항목의 내적 타당도를 위해 Cronbach's 𝛼값을 산출하였으며, 급간 내 상관계수(Internal Classification Coefficients; ICC)를 이용하여 검사-재검사 신뢰도 및 검사자간 신뢰도를 구하였다. 결과 : 전체 문항의 내용타당도는 0.67로 나타났으며, 영역별 Cronbach's 𝛼값의 경우 의사소통 영역 0.849, 구강안면 구조 및 형태 -0.224, 구강안면 움직임 수행능력 0.831, 저작 및 삼킴 기능은 0.946으로 도출되었으며, 검사-재검사 신뢰도는 0.974, 검사자간 신뢰도는 0.937로 높은 신뢰도를 보였다. 결론 : 본 연구에서 COFFS의 평가도구는 4개의 영역에서 34개의 문항을 최종적으로 선정하였고, 평가항목에 따라 3~5점 척도로 개발되었다. 추후 연구에서는 구강안면기능을 측정하는 다른 평가도구와의 상관관계를 통해 타당도를 입증할 추가연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

This study was to determine the effects of a massage and oro-facial exercise program on spastic dysarthric patients' lip muscle function using an electromyogram (EMG). Three subjects with Spastic Dysarthria participated in the study. The surface electrodes were positioned on the Levator Labii Superior Muscle (LLSM), Depressor Labii Inferior Muscle (DLIM), and Orbicularis Oris Muscle (OOM). To examine lip muscle function improvement, the EMG signals were analyzed in terms of RMS (Root Mean Square) values and Median Frequency. In addition, the diadochokinetic movements and the rate of sentence reading were measured. The results revealed that the RMS values were decreased and the Median Frequency moved to a high frequency area. Diadochokinesis and sentence reading rates were improved.

Purpose: This study aimed to verify the effects of a swallowing training program on swallowing function and depression for nursing home residents with dysphagia after stroke. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study with non-equivalent control group pre-post test design. The program (oro-facial muscle strengthening exercises, swallowing exercises, expiratory muscle strengthening exercises, and brain stimulation exercises) applied to the experimental group three times per week for eight weeks, 40-45 minutes for each intervention. The final data from 42 people (21 experimental and 21 control) were analyzed by SPSS/WIN 25.0 using descriptive statistics. 𝜒² test, t-test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, and Friedman test. Results: The experimental group was significantly improved than control group in oro-facial muscle strength, swallowing symptoms (Z=-2.22, p=.026), and oral intake function level (Z=-2.00, p=.046). However, there was no significant difference between two groups in depression. Conclusion: This study is meaningful in that it reorganized and mediated a swallowing training program as a safe, non-invasive exercise that nurses can implement in a nursing facility with limited medical personnel and it could be easily followed by older adults.

목적 : 본 연구는 구강운동촉진기술(oral motor facilitation technique, OMFT)이 뇌졸중 환자의 구강운동 기능에 미치는 효과를 확인하기 위한 목적으로 시행되었다. 연구방법 : 연하장애를 동반한 뇌졸중 환자 72명을 대상으로 시행되었다. 실험군과 대조군은 난수표를 활용하여 36명씩 무작위로 분류하였고, 두 그룹 사전-사후 검사 설계로 진행되었다. 실험군은 OMFT 중재를, 대조군은 전통적 연하재활치료를 각각 30분간 1일 1회, 주 5회로 4주 동안 총 20회기 적용하였다. 구강운동기능 평가를 위해 포괄적 구강안면기능척도(Comprehensive Oro-Facial Function Scale, COFFS)를 사용하였고, 기간별 치료 효과 확인을 위한 반복측정 분산분석(repeated ANOVA), 두 그룹간 변화량 차이 분석을 위해 독립표본 t-검정(independence t-test)을 시행하였다. 결과 : 두 그룹 모두 COFFS의 총점이 향상되었다. 실험군은 아래턱 및 입술 움직임, 볼 부풀리기, 혀 움직임에서 유의한 변화가 나타났다. 또한 저작 분포도, 음식물 유출, 고체형 및 액체형 음식 삼킴, 목소리 변화 항목에서 치료 기간에 따른 유의한 차이가 있었고, 아래턱 벌리고 닫기 항목에서 두 그룹 사이에서 유의한 차이를 보였다. 결론 : OMFT가 뇌졸중으로 인한 연하장애 환자의 구강운동기능에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었으며, 임상에서 기초적인 근거로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: Adenoid hypertrophy is a physical alteration that may affect speech, and a speech disorder can have other negative effects on a child's life. Airway obstruction leads to constricted oral breathing and causes postural alterations of several oro-facial structures, including the mouth, tongue, and hyoid bone. The postural modifications may affect several aspects of speech production. Methods: In this study, we compared articulation errors in 19 children with adenoid hypertrophy (subject group) to those of 33 children with functional articulation disorders independent of anatomical problems (control group). Results: The mean age of the subject group was significantly higher (P=0.016). Substitution was more frequent in the subject group (P=0.003; odds ratio [OR], 1.80; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.23- 2.62), while omission was less frequent (P<0.001; OR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.27-0.67). Articulation errors were significantly less frequent in the palatal affricative in the subject group (P=0.047; OR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.07-0.92). The number of articulation errors in other consonants was not different between the two groups. Nasalization and aspiration were significantly more frequent in the subject group (P=0.007 and 0.014; OR, 14.77 and 0.014; 95% CI, [1.62-135.04] and NA, respectively). Otherwise, there were no differences between the two groups. Conclusion: We identified the characteristics of articulation errors in children with adenoid hypertrophy, but our data did not show the relationship between adenoid hypertrophy and oral motor function that has been observed in previous studies. The association between adenoid hypertrophy and oral motor function remains doubtful.

Anti-N-methyl D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis, recently recognized as a form of paraneoplastic encephalitis, is characterized by a prodromal phase of unspecific illness with fever that resembles a viral disease. The prodromal phase is followed by seizures, disturbed consciousness, psychiatric features, prominent abnormal movements, and autonomic imbalance. Here, we report a case of anti-NMDAR encephalitis with initial symptoms of epilepsia partialis continua in the absence of tumor. Briefly, a 3-year-old girl was admitted to the hospital due to right-sided, complex partial seizures without preceding febrile illness. The seizures evolved into epilepsia partialis continua and were accompanied by epileptiform discharges from the left frontal area. Three weeks after admission, the patient's seizures were reduced with antiepileptic drugs; however, she developed sleep disturbances, cognitive decline, noticeable oro-lingual-facial dyskinesia, and choreoathetoid movements. Anti-NMDAR encephalitis was confirmed by positive detection of NMDAR antibodies in the patient's serum and cerebrospinal fluid, and her condition slowly improved with immunoglobulin, methylprednisolone, and rituximab. At present, the patient is no longer taking multiple antiepileptic or antihypertensive drugs. Moreover, the patient showed gradual improvement of motor and cognitive function. This case serves as an example that a diagnosis of anti-NMDAR encephalitis should be considered when children with uncontrolled seizures develop dyskinesias without evidence of malignant tumor. In these cases, aggressive immunotherapies are needed to improve the outcome of anti-NMDAR encephalitis.

The outcome of primary surgery for cleft lip is judged by its effects on the quality of oro-facial function and development. Many surgical techniques have been tried to obtain better results, however, Delaire introduced a technique of functional closure of the lip and nose, based on the findings of no true hypoplasia in the tissues either side of the cleft. In a seven-month-old Asian male patient with unilateral incomplete cleft lip, we carried out the primary closure by modified Delaire's technique. With no alveolar bone graft, the vertical incision on the nasal base was omitted in this patient because of his acceptable symmetry of nose. Also, a small Z plasty was added on the non-cleft side. The V-shaped incisions, whose notch was located on each side of the red vermilion, were designed and beveled incisions were performed for the rehabilitation of lip length and thickness, considering the postoperative wound contracture. We assured that this modification of Delaire's technique could be applied for various cases of primary closure of incomplete cleft lip.
