“…Masticatory function is acquired after birth during growth and development, and mastication in infancy develop from sucking to chewing-therefore, it is extremely important to enhance healthy masticatory development at this stage 2,3) . EVLBW infants are initially tube fed and/or an intravenous nutrition drip after birth and they are less trained temporally and quantitatively to learn mastication [4][5][6] .…”

“…Electromyography was carried out while they chewed gum both freely and under instruction, and while rice and gummy was chewed freely. Muscle activity of the bilateral anterior temporal muscles, bilateral superficial masseter muscles and the left anterior belly of the digastric muscle was recorded using bipolar silver surface electrodes attached parallel to muscular direction using the polygraph system (Nihon Kohden Co., Japan, Type RM-6000) and the EMGs were recorded in a data recorder (TEAC RD-130TE) according to the method of Shinoda et al [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Simultaneously, the maxillofacial motion and activities of the muscles around the mouth were recorded via a video camera placed in front of the children, a video formatter (Nihon Kohden Co., Japan, VY-302B), frame synchronizer (Nihon Kohden Co., Japan, FS-400) and video recorder. The video recording was used as reference in the evaluation of masticatory behavior.…”
