A promising and low-cost prototype to evaluate the motor pattern of nutritive and non-nutritive suction in newborns

Introduction: Non-nutritive sucking (NNS) plays an important role in stabilizing the preterm, providing oral muscle training opportunity for nutritive sucking (NS). We aim to determine if the prototype tested allows a precise evaluation of suction pattern characteristics (rhythmic structure and pres...
