    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Neurology
    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Speech-Language Pathology

    Background:

    • Spasticity in adolescents can lead to significant challenges, including profuse dribbling.
    • Managing dribbling in individuals with spasticity requires effective and accessible interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate an auditory cue-based intervention for reducing dribbling in adolescents with spasticity.
    • To assess the efficacy and practicality of this novel dribble control method.

    Main Methods:

    • Seven subnormal spastic children (aged 15-16 years) participated.
    • An auditory cue device, worn on clothing, was used to associate sound with swallowing.
    • Training focused on linking the auditory cue to the act of swallowing.

    Main Results:

    • A significant reduction in the rate of dribbling was observed in all participants.
    • The positive effects on dribble control were evident within the first week of intervention.

    Conclusions:

    • Auditory cue-associated swallowing training is an effective method for managing dribbling in spastic adolescents.
    • This intervention requires minimal professional time and empowers the child's self-control abilities.
