Detailed Description
Title To formulate and see efficacy of passive oral motor regimen for drooling in children with multiple disabilities Background Drooling ranges from mild embarrassment and discomfort for the intellectually intact patient with minimal drooling to gross emotional and physical impairment for the severely affected individual. Drooling produces an unhygienic condition that may be associated with a disagreeable odour. Drooling affects the social and physical wellbeing of children and may represent problems for caregivers. Many persons with severe and profound disabilities exhibit chronic and excessive drooling, which can have unfavourable effects on their socialization and health. Studies have suggested that various treatments like medication, surgery, behaviour modification, myofunctional therapy and oral motor therapy are effective in treating drooling but there is no single protocol developed to treat drooling in children with multiple disabilities. Passive treatment protocol is needed specifically designed for children who are not able to follow commands and on whom various treatment techniques like behaviour modification, over-correction can't be applied. Present study aims to formulate and see the efficacy of passive oral motor regimen for drooling in children with multiple disabilities.
Methodology Seven subjects of age group between 07-19 years were selected out of accessible population.
Informed consent taken from the parents/caregivers.Severity and frequency of drooling accessed (For each subject prior to the study) and Drool Quotient was calculated (For each subject prior to the study). Patient was in sitting position with back fully supported and head in neutral position in their own home. Therapist in standing position in front of the patient.Therapist wore sterilised gloves to ensure that no infection occurs along with change of gloves for every subject. Light touch applied to mid line of lips (3 times, for 5 sec). Maintained pressure applied around lips (3 times for 3 sec). Gentle tapping to the cheeks applied with index finger (8 times each cheek). Quick, gentle stretch applied outward with index and middle finger on middle of upper lip and lower lip (8 times on each lip). Gentle stroke to the cheek applied with index finger from base of nose towards ear. Then returned back to corner of lips (8 times each cheek), repeat on the other side. Gentle stroking applied to area around the lips in a circular manner, from the corner towards the center and to the other corner, then reverse. (4 times each lip). Vibration slowly applied for 10-15 sec each of a) orbicularis oris b) Both sides of larynx from chin to sternal notch c) Under the chin from ear to ear.Quick stretch applied to the masseter muscles (3 times on each side). Stretch pressure applied to vibrated areas, on a) orbicularis oris b) Laryngopharyngeal muscles, both sides. Intra-orally applied light touch to roof of mouth, anteriorly for 3 times. The protocol was given for 4 weeks with treatment sessions given 3 times per week.

Experimental: Passive oral motor therapy group
All the subjects received passive treatment which included light touch, stroking, vibration, tapping, pressure and stretch.
All the techniques have been proved to be effective in treating drooling.
Relative sterility and hygiene was maintained throughout the procedure as sterilized gloves and napkins were used.
The measurement protocol was designed to check effectiveness on drooling in children.
The protocol was given for 4 weeks with treatment sessions given 3 times per week and the treatment duration was 30min.12
sessions of oral motor stimulation therapy given during the 4 weeks..
