Speech Breathing Patterns During Tracheoesophageal Speech
Although tracheoesophageal speech (TES) uses pulmonary air to drive voice production, it was hypothesized that the speech breathing patterns of patients using TES would differ from normal speakers, as speakers compensated for the increased resistance associated with alaryngeal phonation and the effects of air loss from occasional incomplete stomal occlusion. Instrumental measurements of respiratory kinematics were used to study lung volume initia…
The impact of maxillary advancement on nasality in a non-cleft population
Perceptual and objective characteristics of nasality were examined in 14 non-cleft patients prior to orthognathic surgery involving maxillary advancement. Perceptual assessments pre-surgery revealed three patients as hyponasal and two as mildly hypernasal. Instrumental assessments confirmed hyponasality in only one patient. Post-operative data was available for ten patients at six months following surgery. Four patients demonstrated significant i…
Physiological features of dysarthria in Friedreich's ataxia
Due to the paucity of literature concerning the motor speech impairment in persons with Friedreich's ataxia (FA), the aim of this study was to investigate the perceptual and physiological features of dysarthria in a 30-year-old male with FA, 22 years post diagnosis. The four speech subsystems were comprehensively evaluated using physiological measures of respiratory (Respitrace), laryngeal (Laryngograph, Aerophone II), velopharyngeal (Nasometer) …
Velopharyngeal dysfunction following severe traumatic brain injury in childhood: A physiological and perceptual analysis
The velopharyngeal function of 23 subjects who had sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in childhood was assessed using both accelerometric and perceptual techniques. Horii Oral Nasal Coupling (HONC) indices were obtained from the production of nasal and non-nasal sounds, words and sentences. These values were compared with those of a non-neurologically impaired control group matched for age and sex. The TBI group exhibited significantly incr…
