SpeechEasy: Altered auditory feedback in Adults with Persistent Developmental Stuttering
The purpose of this proposed study is to assess how one widely-marketed device for the treatment of stuttering (i.e., SpeechEasy) influences stuttering in adults with persistent developmental stuttering (PDS). The first experiment is designed to examine specific parameters (delayed auditory feedback-DAF, frequency altered feedback-FAF settings, Ear Placement-Right versus Left Ear) on ameliorati...
متن کاملOlder Adults Show Preserved Equilibrium but Impaired Step Length Control in Motor-Equivalent Stabilization of Gait
Stable walking depends on the coordination of multiple biomechanical degrees of freedom to ensure the dynamic maintenance of whole-body equilibrium as well as continuous forward progression. We investigated adult age-related differences in whole-body coordination underlying stabilization of center of mass (CoM) position and step pattern during locomotion. Sixteen younger (20-30 years) and 16 he...
متن کاملConcurrent auditory perception difficulties in older adults with right hemisphere cerebrovascular accident
Background :Older adults with cerebrovascular accident (CVA) show evidence of auditory and speech perception problems. In present study, it was examined whether these problems are due to impairments of concurrent auditory segregation procedure which is the basic level of auditory scene analysis and auditory organization in auditory scenes with competing sounds. Methods : Concurrent auditory...
متن کاملGait disorders in older adults.
From 8 to 19% of noninstitutionalized older adults have difficulty walking or require the assistance of another person or special equipment to walk. J,2 Walking disability increases with age. For example, 6% of female East Boston respondents aged 65 to 69, compared with 38% of those aged 85 and older, need assistance in walking.:' Limitations in walking can be seen in as many as 63% of nursing ...
متن کاملEffectiveness of gait-retraining with auditory feedback on pain and lower body kinematics in injured recreational runners
Aims and background: Abnormal hip and knee mechanics are often implicated in runners with history of injury. We considered evaluating a simple gait-retraining protocol, using auditory-external feedback, in runners with running-related injuries and abnormal hip and knee mechanics. The effect of using external-feedback may have been more profound if the content of instruction had been relevant to...
