Martínez-Arellano, Ana; Campo, Arantza; del Rio, Beatriz; Garaycochea, Octavio; Fernandez, Secundino – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The aims of this study were to analyze and characterize the "irrintzi" (a folkloric shout emitted in a single breath used by the Basque people) acoustically and to describe the mechanism by which it is emitted. Method: Thirty-six sound samples of 12 female volunteers were analyzed. Acoustic analysis included primarily…

Cuartero, Marie-Charlotte; Bertrand, Roxane; Rauzy, Stéphane; Véron-Delor, Lauriane; Atkinson-Clement, Cyril; Grabli, David; Vidailhet, Marie; Pinto, Serge – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: Hyperkinetic dysarthria is often present in isolated dystonia (ID) and is still understudied. Four main clusters of deviant speech dimensions in dystonia hyperkinetic dysarthria were initially provided: articulatory inaccuracy, phonatory stenosis, prosodic excess and prosodic insufficiency. Aim: The aim of our exploratory study was to…

Desjardins, Maude; Apfelbach, Christopher; Rubino, Marianna; Abbott, Katherine Verdolini – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Despite the high prevalence of primary muscle tension dysphonia (MTD-1), its underlying mechanisms and their interrelationships have yet to be fully identified. The objectives of this integrative review were (a) to describe and classify the suggested underlying mechanisms for MTD-1, (b) to appraise the empirical evidence supporting each…

Stager, Sheila V.; Maryn, Youri – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purposes: The purposes of this study were to determine whether the acoustic measures from glottal stops distinguished between controls and patients with unilateral vocal fold paresis/paralysis (UVFP) at initial evaluation and posttreatment/ observation, to explore the types of false vocal fold (FVF) movement during glottal stop production in UVFP,…

Baseline Stimulability Predicts Patterns of Response to Traditional and Ultrasound Biofeedback Treatment for Residual Speech Sound Disorder
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
McAllister, Tara; Eads, Amanda; Kabakoff, Heather; Scott, Marc; Boyce, Suzanne; Whalen, D. H.; Preston, Jonathan L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This study aimed to identify predictors of response to treatment for residual speech sound disorder (RSSD) affecting English rhotics. Progress was tracked during an initial phase of traditional motor-based treatment and a longer phase of treatment incorporating ultrasound biofeedback. Based on previous literature, we focused on baseline…
