Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to test the reliability and validity of the T-MOE among pediatric patients with chewing disorders.The internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and criterion validity of T-MOE will be investigated. The internal consistency will be assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) value with 95 % confidence intervals will be calculated for test-retest reliability. The criterion validity of the scale will be determined by assessing the correlation between the T-MOE and Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale and Tongue Thrust Rating Scale.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Children with cerebral palsy
Chewing performance will be evaluated with T-MOE and the Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale. Tongue control will also be evaluated by Tongue Thrust Rating Scale.
Diagnostic test: T-MOE
Chewing performance will be evaluated with T-MOE and the Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale.
Healthy children
Chewing performance will be evaluated with T-MOE and the Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale. Tongue control will also be evaluated by Tongue Thrust Rating Scale.
Diagnostic test: T-MOE
Chewing performance will be evaluated with T-MOE and the Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Turkish Mastication Observation and Evaluation (T-MOE) Instrument
Time Frame: 3 months
This instrument is used to evaluate chewing function in children. The T-MOE includes 8 items, and could be scored between 1 to 4. Higher scores indicate better chewing function, lower scores indicate worse chewing function.
3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale (KCPS)
Time Frame: 3 months
This scale is used to determine chewing performance level of children. The KCPS has 5 steps including 0 to 4. 0 means 'Normal chewing function' and 4 means 'No biting and chewing'.
3 months
Tongue Thrust Rating Scale (TTRS)
Time Frame: 3 months
This scale is used to determine tongue thrust severity of children. The TTRS has 4 steps between 0 to 3. Step 0 means 'No tongue thrust.' and step 3 means 'Severe tongue thrust. The tongue is positioned out of the mouth.'
3 months
