About

The purpose of this study is to test the reliability and validity of the T-MOE among pediatric patients with chewing disorders.

Full description

The purpose of this study is to test the reliability and validity of the T-MOE among pediatric patients with chewing disorders.The internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and criterion validity of T-MOE will be investigated. The internal consistency will be assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) value with 95 % confidence intervals will be calculated for test-retest reliability. The criterion validity of the scale will be determined by assessing the correlation between the T-MOE and Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale and Tongue Thrust Rating Scale.
