Abstract
Pupose: The pupose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of masticatoy muscles electic stimulation in dysphagia in childen with spastic CP. Methods: Foty childen, with age anging fom 2 to 5 yeas with a diagnosis of spastic ceebal palsy, they had dysphagia with level fou o moe in functional oal intake scale. They wee andomly assigned into two goups of equal numbe.The Feeding level pogess was evaluated by functional oal intake scale, oomoto skills wee measued with oomoto assessment scale, weight gain and height wee measued by weight and height measuing scale.The study goup was teated by a selected oomoto execise home pogam in addition to neuomuscula electical stimulation (NMES) fo massete and digastic muscles, wheeas the contol goup which was teated by the same home pogam giving to the study goup in addition to NMES ( placebo effect ) .The two goups wee assessed befoe and afte 2 months of the teatment application. esults: A statistically insignificant diffeence was ecoded befoe teatment between the study and contol goup (P>0.05), while a significant diffeence was ecoded in each goup afte teatment in all measued vaiables.Compaing between both goups egading feeding level pogess thee was significant diffeence (P<0.05), but no statistically significant diffeence between both goups egading weight gain, height and oomoto assessment skills (P<0.05)
