Descripción
El término trastornos oromotores designa a un grupo de enfermedades crónicas que afectan, principalmente, a los estímulos sensoriales, a los sistemas motores y a la organización de los movimientos involucrados en la succión, masticación, deglución, articulación del habla y comunicación facial no verbal.
Los problemas alimentarios, la deglución anormal y el reflujo gastroesofágico son habituales en este tipo de pacientes y pueden conducir a un estado nutricional deficiente. Babeo, disartria, dificultad en el aprendizaje y una integración social pobre son los principales problemas clínicos que aparecen en fases posteriores, y todos ellos desembocan en una escasa integración social y una reducción significativa de la calidad de vida.
El enfoque y la clasificación propuesta en este libro ofrecen un marco estructural que ayuda a identificar la causa subyacente, la ubicación anatómica y la historia natural de cada grupo de enfermedades que conducen a un trastorno oromotor.
