“…Os resultados encontrados na pesquisa mostraram que, umedecer a chupeta com colostro, durante a avaliação quantitativa da SNN, produziu maiores valores de pressões de sucção, tanto média como máxima, nos RN do GE. Esse achado vai ao encontro de pesquisas que evidenciaram respostas de sucção mais rápidas dos RN quando adicionado um estímulo gustativo durante a SNN (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22) .…”

“…The mean value of experimental σ (σexp) and the repeatability of the system response were determined by calculating the related uncertainty across the twenty tests by considering a t-Student reference distribution with 19 degrees of freedom and a level of confidence of 95% [36]. The best fitting line of the calibration curve was obtained, and its angular coefficient was calculated to estimate E. Lastly, the linearity error was calculated by using Equation (5) in terms of the maximum linearity error (% uL max ).…”

“…Clinical assessment of palmar grasp is currently performed by applying light pressure on the infant’s palm with an object or the examiner’s finger to induce hand closure. This approach is entirely qualitative and based on the use of functional scales and the examiner’s expertise [ 5 ] and is therefore potentially affected by inter-rater variability [ 6 ]. Furthermore, whilst clinicians and physiotherapists may develop discriminative experience about the quality of this reflex, they will still lack the sensitivity to identify subtle features not perceivable by a human observer (e.g., the discrimination of active/passive touch or the quantitative measurement of grasping strength and holding time).…”
