Embodiment Construction

[0034] It is an object of the present subject matter to provide a method and apparatus for stabilizing patterned non-nutritive sucking oromotor coordination. Another object of the present subject matter is to provide an apparatus and method for objectively measuring the stability of a patient's non-nutritive suck. Yet another object is a method to assess the effect of orosensory entrainment therapy by means of a patterned oral skin stimulation intervention on patterned non-nutritive sucking occurring in patients with dysfunction.

[0035] It has been demonstrated that improving the NNS requires objective measurement of the physiology of the NNS. Physiological pathways to assess ororhythmic The integrity of the neural circuits driving sCPG was investigated by analyzing suck pattern structure and stability. A measurement technique known as spatiotemporal indexing (STI) has been used to assess variability across limb and speech kinematic trajectories. figure 1 Illustrated is an...

Abstract

Method and apparatus are provided for generating an index associated with development of non-nutritive suck skill. A method includes measuring a plurality of non-nutritive suck (NNS) pressure samples, generating a plurality of correlation values using the NNS pressure samples, and generating a measure of non-nutritive suck development using the plurality of correlation values.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 030,484 filed February 21, 2008 under 35 U.S.C 119(e) and Serial No. 61 / 036,304, which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] This document relates to improving non-nutritive suck skills, and more specifically, to generating a spatiotemporal index to monitor the development of non-nutritive suck skills. Background technique [0004] Sucking is a precocious motor behavior in the human body. However, precocious infants often demonstrate dyskinesia of oral movements and are unable to suck or feed orally. This lack of feeding ability delays neonatal discharge from the intensive care unit and hinders the development of coordinated oromotor behavior. [0005] Infants' readiness for feeding is often assessed by their display of non-nutritive suck (NNS). Sucking manifests in utero between 15 and 18 weeks of gestational age (GA...
