Profile of the MOE instrument of typically developing children (n=14) and individual profiles of children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP), based on the median score of five trials. The points on the outside of the plot correspond with MOE items: 1=Tongue protrusion; 2=Lateral tongue movement; 3=Munching; 4=Jaw movement; 5=Chewing duration; 6=Loss of food or saliva; 7=Number of swallows; 8=Fluency and coordination. The dark solid line in the plot corresponds with the scores per item. Score 4 indicates best (mature) performance and score 1 indicates poor performance. GMFCS: Gross Motor Functioning Classification System. IQ: Intelligence Quotient.
