Patterns Of Speech Articulation In Subjects With Neurogenic Dysphagia And Dysarthria
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The purpose of this descriptive study was to examine place-manner-voicing features and neuromuscular substrates of articulation and swallowing in a group of nursing home residents having concurrent dysarthria and dysphagia. Similar muscle groups function in speech articulation and swallowing, accounting for the high coincidence of dysarthria and dysphagia in neurological impairment. Subjects were forty patients residing in two skilled nursing facilities in Las Vegas, Nevada. The results described place, manner, and voicing characteristics of articulation patterns in neurologically impaired nursing home subjects with and without dysphagia. Place-of-articulation anomalies identified for the dysphagia group were most f requent ly at the b lade-prepalata l s i te . Manner-of-articulation anomalies among the dysphagia group occurred most often for fricatives. Perceptual changes of soft or weak vocal loudness were most common quality anomalies among the dysphagia group subjects.

متن کاملValidity and Reliability of the Persian Version of the Dysphagia Handicap Index (DHI)
Introduction: The Dysphagia Handicap Index (DHI) is one of the instruments used for measuring a dysphagic patient’s self-assessment. In some ways, it reflects the patient’s quality of life.

The purpose of this study was to adapt a Persian v...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Cantonese dysarthric speech corpus
Dysarthria is a neurogenic communication disorder affecting speech production. Significant differences in phonemic inventories and phonological patterns across the world’s languages render generalization of disordered speech patterns from one language (e.g, English) to another (e.g., Cantonese) difficult. Capitalizing on existing methods in developing Englishlanguage dysarthric speech corpora, ...
