Studies in 146 children with cerebral palsy revealed a definite relation between malfunctioning, size, and location of the lingual muscle and the development of the dentition. The results may be regarded as a confirmation of the so-called functional adaptation theory first observed by ROUX in 1921. The formative influence of the maxillo-facial musculature-including the musculature of the tongue-on the development of the dentition is determined by the proper interaction of the various groups of muscles. Oral muscular malfunctioning, as is often observed in children with cerebral palsy, therefore has a direct influence on the malformation of the jaws and the dentition.
对146名脑瘫患儿的研究表明，舌肌的功能障碍、大小和位置与牙列发育之间存在明确关联。这些结果可被视为对1921年由鲁克斯首次观察到的所谓功能适应理论的证实。包括舌肌在内的颌面肌肉组织对牙列发育的形成性影响取决于各组肌肉的适当相互作用。因此，如在脑瘫患儿中经常观察到的口腔肌肉功能障碍，会直接影响颌骨和牙列的畸形。
