Focus on the rib cage for improvement of respiration, phonation, postural control and movement in children [electronic resource] / presented by: Rona Alexander, Ph.D, CCC-SLP
Specific developmental and structural issues of the rib cage and relationships to postural control, movement, oral-motor function and respiration are presented. Treatment strategies for mobilizing the rib cage and elongating the chest wall to influence postural stability that supports oral-motor function are demonstrated.
