“…The only factor he found that could account for these problems was the deprivation of nutritive sucking (development of oral-motor skills) these children experienced in their early development (personal communication). Beratis et al [38] reported similar results. Causal relationships for such a whole-body hypothesis are difficult to establish in a human model because experimental deprivation of feeding to determine motor outcomes would be unethical.…”

The reciprocal influence of body postures on the oral structures, but also of the oral structures on body postures, has been proposed by clinicians and is taken into consideration when treating children with poor postural control and moderate to severe eating impairments. However, this relationship has not been rigorously investigated. The purpose of this study was to document the possible relationships among oral-motor, postural, and ambulatory control. Ambulatory skills [exclusive use of wheelchair (w/c) vs w/c and ambulation], postural control when sitting, "pathologic" reflexes, and lip and tongue posture were recorded before and after one year of therapy with an intraoral appliance (ISMAR) in 20 children with cerebral palsy and moderate eating impairment. Significant improvement occurred in sitting (head-trunk-foot control) following one year of ISMAR therapy. Ambulatory status also significantly improved above the level of maturation. Half of the children showed marked improvement in oral posture, i.e., their resting mouth posture was closed rather than open. These results support an hypothesis of interaction between oral structures and postural control of the "whole body." Further studies are needed to determine the controls of such a relationship.

“…A history of tube feedings (with nasogastric or gastrostomy tubes) provides both assessment insight and meaningful treatment implications. Oral hypersensitivity is common with children who have experienced oral deprivation for an extended period of time (19).…”

Children who "fail to thrive" are frequently referred to occupational therapists. Yet there is no organized protocol that therapists could use to assess these children. This paper reviews criteria that distinguish organic from nonorganic "failure to thrive" and describes the occupational therapist's contribution to the evaluation process. An occupational therapy protocol is presented to facilitate a thorough assessment, emphasizing feeding issues and caretaker-child interaction.
