The effect of speech timing on velopharyngeal function
نویسنده
چکیده
It is likely that the timing of the speech can affect velopharyngeal function and the opening and closing of the velopharyngeal port, but we do not have a good understanding of how speech timing affects the control of the velopharyngeal opening and closing. The purpose of this project is to study the effect of two speech-timing conditions on velopharyngeal function in individuals with normal speech through the measurement of nasal airflow and oral air pressure during speech.

The effect of timing of surgery for velopharyngeal dysfunction on speech.
The timing of surgery for velopharyngeal dysfunction has been based on assumptions about the relation between age, speech development, and velopharyngeal dysfunction. Cleft palate teams often counsel parents to have an intervention for velopharyngeal dysfunction performed earlier rather than later, believing that earlier interventions result in more rapid or better normalization of speech. The ...

Background: Velopharyngeal insufficiency causes hypernasal vocal quality and can also result in audible nasal air emission and difficulty in producing pressure consonants. The resulting speech is often socially unacceptable and can be difficult to understand. Platelet-rich plasma is an autologous derivative of whole blood. Today, the importance of clinical use of Platelet-rich plasma in the pla...

متن کاملDifferential Effects of Velopharyngeal Dysfunction on Speech Intelligibility During Early and Late Stages of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
The detrimental effects of velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) on speech intelligibility in persons with progressive motor speech disorders are poorly understood. In this study, we longitudinally investigated the velopharyngeal and articulatory performance of 142 individuals with varying severities of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Our goal was to determine the mechanisms that underlie the e...
