Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will report the chewing and swallowing disorders of a Coffin-Lowry Syndrome (CLS) patient, and effects of chewing and swallowing training on chewing and swallowing function.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients with CLS suffer from spinal deformities, nonconvulsive status epilepticus, obstructive sleeep apnea syndrome, pneumonia, stimulus-induced myoclonus, cases of falls, mechanical ventilation, restrictive lung disease. It was also reported that patients with CLS had problems with eating and feeding functions. However there is no study investigating chewing and swallowing functions of this patient population. Therefore, the investigators have three main purposes:

1. To chewing and swallowing function in a boy with CLS diagnosis who was referred due to coughing during eating, long-lasting wheezing, sputum and inability to intake solid food
2. To investigate the effects of two months of chewing and swallowing training program
3. To present long term follow-up effects on chewing and swallowing function.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

A child with Coffin-Lowry Syndrome

A boy with a known CLS diagnosis with a history of coughing during eating, long-lasting wheezing, sputum and inability to intake solid food will be included.

Group Type OTHER

Chewing and swallowing rehabilitation

Intervention Type OTHER

A home based chewing and swallowing training program (CST) will be applied by an experienced physical therapist. The Functional Chewing Training will be used to improve chewing function which has five steps including positioning the child and food, sensory stimulation, chewing training and adjustment of food consistency to improve chewing function. To support hyolaryngeal elevation, laryngeal mobilization will be performed. Hyolaryngeal mobilization will be performed by moving hyolaryngeal complex in right, left and up directions manually.
