title: Use of an Innsbruck sensorimotor activator and regulator (ISMAR) in the treatment of oral motor dysfunctions: a single case report.
abstract: Many patients with cerebral palsy have difficulties during the oral preparatory phase and also during the food transport phase (swallowing), and oral-sensorimotor therapy is practised with these individuals. With oral-sensorimotor therapies, the functioning of the lips, cheeks, tongue and pharyngeal structures, and the interplay between these structures, can be improved. An Innsbruck sensorimotor activator and regulator (ISMAR) is one of the appliances used for oral-motor therapy. The purpose of this study is to describe the appliance and report a patient using ISMAR.
