Application of the Lee Treatment (lsvt®) to Indivi Sclerosis, Ataxic Dysart

چکیده
Reduced speech intelligibility has been observed in Parkinson’s disease (PD), ataxic dysarthria, multiple sclerosis (MS) and in individuals who have suffered a cerebral vascular accident (CVA). Data support the effectiveness of the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) on the improvement of vocal function and speech intelligibility in PD. Today, only a small percentage of patients with chronic neurologic disease receive treatment to improve speech and voice. This paper will report improvement in case studies of individuals with MS, ataxic dysarthria and CVA and suggest that the effects of LSVT may not be restricted to the dysarthria associated with PD.

Objectives: In the early stages, most Parkinson’s patients display some degrees of voice and speech disorders. Speech disorders can negatively affect social interactions and human life, thus treatment plans for the disorders in the early stages might be further beneficial than the late stages. Therefore, we aimed to investigate on the effect of an intervention on Persian patients with early mil...

Design: A pre-test–post-test design was completed in order to determine if an extended Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) program (LSVT-X) results in significant increases to vocal sound pressure level (SPL) and significant functional improvement in communication. LSVT-X results for vocal SPL and a perceptual rating of speech were then compared with the results of a previous study examining t...

Background: Speech disorders are a feature of Parkinson’s disease, typically worsening as the disease progresses. The Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) was developed to address these difficulties. It targets vocal loudness as a means of increasing vocal effort and improving co-ordination across the subsystems of speech. Aims: Currently LSVT is not widely available, and there are practical di...
