Bulbar and speech motor assessment in ALS: Challenges and future directions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered objective measures of speech motor function, which show promise for forming the basis of a comprehensive, quantitative bulbar motor assessment in ALS, based on the assessment of four speech subsystems: respiratory, phonatory, articulatory, and resonatory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatiotemporal coupling of the tongue in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
TL;DR: These results provide new insights into the loss of lingual motor control due to ALS and suggest that measures of tongue performance may provide useful indicators of bulbar disease severity and progression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electromagnetic articulography assessment of articulatory function in adults with dysarthria following traumatic brain injury
TL;DR: While a simple syllable repetition task at a moderate rate was unable to differentiate the three groups, a complex sentence production task precipitated an increase in mean maximum acceleration which may be indicative of increased articulatory effort and impaired speech motor control even at a convenient rate for the severe group.
Journal ArticleDOI
EMA assessment of tongue–jaw co-ordination during speech in dysarthria following traumatic brain injury
TL;DR: EMA assessment results supported perceptual data; those adults who presented with severe articulatory disturbances exhibited the most deviant spatio-timing tongue–jaw co-ordination patterns, which could provide a new and specific direction for treatment, directed at combined movement patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electropalatographic (EPG) assessment of tongue-to-palate contacts in dysarthric speakers following TBI.
TL;DR: Analysis of temporal parameters between the comparison and TBI groups revealed prolonged durations of the various phases of consonant production, which were attributed to articulatory slowness, impaired speech motor control, impaired accuracy, and impaired coordination of articulatory movements in the dysarthric speakers post‐TBI.
