Bulbar and speech motor assessment in ALS: Challenges and future directions
Jordan R. Green,Yana Yunusova,Mili S. Kuruvilla,Jun Wang,Gary L. Pattee,Lori Synhorst,Lorne Zinman,James D. Berry +7 more
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
Articulatory Movements During Vowels in Speakers With Dysarthria and Healthy Controls
TL;DR: It was showed that the effects of neurologic disease on vowel production are often articulator-, vowel-, and context-specific, and these factors need to be carefully considered when describing the nature of speech disorder and developing empirically based evaluation and treatment strategies for dysarthria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accuracy Assessment for AG500, Electromagnetic Articulograph.
TL;DR: The AG500, an electromagnetic device developed recently to register articulatory movements in three dimensions, was judged as adequate for speech movement acquisition, provided that specific steps are taken for minimizing error during recording and for validating the quality of recorded data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting Early Bulbar Decline in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A Speech Subsystem Approach.
TL;DR: The articulatory and phonatory predictors are sensitive indicators of early bulbar decline due to ALS, which has implications for predicting disease onset and progression and clinical management of ALS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinematics of disease progression in bulbar ALS.
Yana Yunusova,Jordan R. Green,Mary J. Lindstrom,Laura J. Ball,Gary L. Pattee,Lorne Zinman,Lorne Zinman +6 more
TL;DR: Investigating the deterioration of lip and jaw movements during speech longitudinally in three individuals diagnosed with bulbar amyotrophic lateral sclerosis revealed several changes inlip and jaw movement that coincided with ALS progression.
