Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Erika G Gisel"
- Erika G Gisel's research primarily focuses on the assessment and intervention techniques for feeding and swallowing difficulties in preterm infants and children with cerebral palsy, emphasizing the effectiveness of various sensorimotor interventions.
- Her studies have documented positive outcomes from both oral and non-oral sensorimotor interventions, leading to improved oral feeding performance, better growth rates, and enhanced motor function in preterm infants, showcasing the potential for synergistic effects when combining intervention types.
- Gisel's work also includes psychometric evaluations of assessment tools like the McGill Ingestive Skills Assessment, underscoring their reliability and ability to predict health outcomes related to feeding difficulties in various populations, particularly the elderly with neurogenic dysphagia.
