The Application of Neuronavigated rTMS of the Supplementary Motor Area and Rhythmic Speech Training for Stuttering Intervention
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Mehdi Bakhtiar; Tegan Wai Yee Yeung; Angela Choi – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Stuttering, a neurodevelopmental speech fluency disorder, is associated with intermittent disruptions of speech-motor control. Behavioural treatments for adults who stutter (AWS) concentrate on adopting speech patterns that enhance fluency, such as speaking rhythmically or prolonging speech sounds. However, maintaining these treatment…

How Stuttering Develops: The Multifactorial Dynamic Pathways Theory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Smith, Anne; Weber, Christine – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: We advanced a multifactorial, dynamic account of the complex, nonlinear interactions of motor, linguistic, and emotional factors contributing to the development of stuttering. Our purpose here is to update our account as the multifactorial dynamic pathways theory. Method: We review evidence related to how stuttering develops, including…

Separating the Problem and the Person: Insights from Narrative Therapy with People Who Stutter
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ryan, Fiona; O'Dwyer, Mary; Leahy, Margaret M. – Topics in Language Disorders, 2015
Stuttering is a complex disorder of speech that encompasses motor speech and emotional and cognitive factors. The use of narrative therapy is described here, focusing on the stories that clients tell about the problems associated with stuttering that they have encountered in their lives. Narrative therapy uses these stories to understand, analyze,…

The Integrity of Anticipatory Coarticulation in Fluent and Non-Fluent Tokens of Adults Who Stutter
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sussman, Harvey M.; Byrd, Courtney T.; Guitar, Barry – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2011
This article analysed the acoustic structure of voiced stop ++ vowel sequences in a group of persons who stutter (PWS). This phonetic unit was chosen because successful production is highly dependent on the differential tweaking of right-to-left anticipatory coarticulation as a function of stop place. Thus, essential elements of both speech motor…

The Effects of Simulated Stuttering and Prolonged Speech on the Neural Activation Patterns of Stuttering and Nonstuttering Adults
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
De Nil, Luc F.; Beal, Deryk S.; Lafaille, Sophie J.; Kroll, Robert M.; Crawley, Adrian P.; Gracco, Vincent L. – Brain and Language, 2008
Functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to investigate the neural correlates of passive listening, habitual speech and two modified speech patterns (simulated stuttering and prolonged speech) in stuttering and nonstuttering adults. Within-group comparisons revealed increased right hemisphere biased activation of speech-related regions…

EVALUATION OF MOTOR PLANNING TECHNIQUES FOR THE TREATMENT OF STUTTERING.
FRICK, JAMES V. – 1965
THERAPY PROCEDURES BASED ON MOTOR PLANNING TECHNIQUES WERE DEVELOPED FOR THE TREATMENT OF YOUNG ADULT STUTTERERS. THE SUBJECTS FOR THIS STUDY WERE 24 MALE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS RECEIVING THERAPY FOR STUTTERING. USING RATINGS OF THE SEVERITY OF THEIR OVERT STUTTERING, THE INVESTIGATOR DIVIDED THE SUBJECTS INTO AN EXPERIMENTAL GROUP AND A CONTROL…
