Efficacy of tele-rehabilitation program for preschool children with functional articulation disorders
Objective To observe the effect of tele-rehabilitation program on the articulation resolution of preschool children with functional articulation disorders(FAD),so as to provide reference for the clinical application of tele-rehabilitation in this context.Methods A total of 66 preschool children diagnosed with FAD in the outpatient department of Child Rehabilitation,Tangshan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from March 2022 to March 2023 were selected into this study,and were divided into tele-rehabilitation group(n=32)and control group(n=34)by random number table method.The control group received daily family rehabilitation guidance,while the tele-rehabilitation group underwent a tele-rehabilitation program lasting for 3 months.All children were assessed using the Chinese phonological ability evaluation lexicon before and 3 months after the treatment.Results After 3 months of treatment,both the tele-rehabilitation group and the control group showed significant improvements in articulation resolution compared to before treatment(t=12.165、12.986,P＜0.05).Notably,the tele-rehabilitation group exhibited significantly greater improvement than the control group(t=2.138,P＜0.05).Within the tele-rehabilitation group,children were further divided into three subgroups based on the severity of their dysphonia:mild,moderate,and severe.After 3 months of treatment,the articulation resolution of the mild and moderate groups improved significantly compared to before treatment(Z=2.226,31.900,P＜0.05),whereas no statistically significant improvement was observed in the severe group compared to before treatment(Z=1.857,P＞0.05).Conclusion Tele-rehabilitation program effectively improves articulation resolution in preschool children with FAD,especially for mild to moderate preschool children with FAD.
