The purpose of this study was investigated the effect of orofacial training video program using smart device on oral cavity structure and function, diadochokinetic rate in acute stroke patients with dysarthria. Present study participated in fourteen acute stroke patients with dysarthria. All subjects assigned that randomized each seven patients in experimental and control group. Subjects of two groups received conventional rehabilitation therapy for 4 weeks. Experimental group performed additionally that orofacial training video program using smart device, supervised under caregivers, during 30 min/day. The outcome measures were the oral cavity structure and function of subscale for KOMSE(: Korean Oro-motor Mechanism Screening Examination), AMR(: Alternating Motion Rate), SMR(: Sequential Motion Rate). In results, Both group showed significant improvements after intervention in all assessments(p<.05). In comparison of change between two groups, experimental group showed significant improvements than control group in oral cavity function, /p ə/ and /tə/ of AMR(p<.05). We suggested that orofacial training video program using smart device expected to positive effects the improvements of oral cavity and articulator function in acute stroke patients with dysarthria.

This study tried to investigate the differences between auditory preferences for a discrimination study of minimal pairs with the different onset and the same nucleus of a syllable on the basis of articulator-distance in case of Korean infants and toddlers. As a result we found a main effect for articulator-distance and age but not an effect according to the types of phonation especially in terms of tense. Former results are line with the previous studies having reported the order of consonants acquisition based on the places of articulation suggesting that more sensitive responses for the contiguous and different phonemes may lead earlier acquisition for the same place of articulation of the speech sounds. Specifically, bilabial soudns are followed by alveolar and palatal sounds in order. The latter results also showed that tense consonants got a high rate of recognition beside lax consonants according to the age and sex.

연구목적 : 청각장애 아동들은 청각적 피드백의 손실로 인하여 분절적 측면뿐만 아니라 초분절적인 측면도 건청 아동과는 다른 형태를 나타낸다. 석동일(1999)은 청각장애인의 모음 조음의 특성을 고찰한 결과, 저모음의 지속시간이 길며, 고모음의 지속시간이 짧다고 하였다. 또한, 청각장애인들은 자음 산출에 있어서 가시적인 효과가 높은 음소가 낮은 음소에 비해 정조음률이 높다. 따라서, 본 연구의 목적은 청각장애 아동의 자음 중 가장 많이 오조음하는 /s/의 오류 형태에 따라 선.후행하는 고모음 /i/와 저모음 /a/의 지속시간을 비교.연구하는 것이다.

Coarticulation is affected by the continuous movement of the articulator within a limited time and space through the neighboring segments and various overlaps. This study investigated the differences in coarticulation characteristics of children with reading disabilities and nondisabled children in CVC and VCV syllables consisted of stops, affricates, and vowels (a, i, u). The subjects were 13 children with reading disabilities and nondisabled children in the 2nd to 6th grades in elementary school. Two second formants were measured. One was measured at the point where the vowel began, and the other was measured at the mid point of the vowel stable section. Regression analysis was performed with F2 onset and F2 of the following vowel to obtain the locus equation (LE). 3-way ANOVA was conducted to the slope of the LE according to the groups (reading disabilities vs. nondisabled), places of articulation, and phonation types. In CVC syllable, dyslexic children showed a flatter slope than nondisabled children. With respect to the places of articulation, velar or bilabial sounds showed steeper LE slope than alveolar or palatal sounds. There were no main effects regarding group and phonation types variable for VCV syllable, and the significant differences in the places of articulation were also differed from the results for the CVC syllables. This study confirmed that dyslexic children showed a different pattern of coarticulation slope depending on the syllable structure. We also found that the higher pause rate of the dyslexic children had a stronger effect on the coarticulation in VCV structures.

The aim of this study is to prepare basic data that can be used for evaluation and intervention by investigating the characteristics of diphthongs produced by children with speech sound disorders. To confirm this, two groups of 10 children each, with and without speech sound disorders were asked to imitate the meaningless two-syllable 'diphthongs + da'. The slope of F1 and F2, amount of change of formant, and duration of glide were analyzed by Praat (version 6.1.16). As a result, the difference between the two groups was found in the slope of F1 of /ju/. Children with speech sound disorders had smaller changes in formants and shorter duration time values compared to normal children, and there were statistically significant differences. The amount of change in formant in the glide was found in F1 of /ju, jɛ/, F2 of /jɑ, jɛ/, and there were significant differences in the duration of glide in /ju, jɛ/. The results of this study showed that the range of articulation of diphthongs in children with speech sound disorders is relatively smaller than that of normal children, thus the time it takes to articulate was reduced. These results suggest that the range of articulation and acoustic analysis should be further investigated for evaluation and intervention regarding diphthongs of children with speech sound disorders.

구음마비환자의 특징적 문제로는 조음 명료성의 저하오 kdns율의 장애등이 논의되어왔다. 지금까지 조음 명료성을 진단하고 치료하기 위한 연구는 활발히 진행되어 왔으나 운율 장애를 측정, 치료하기 위한 연구는 극히 소수이며 특히, 우리나라의 경우는 전무한 상태이다. 이에 본 연구자는 정상군과 이완성 구음마비환자군의 운율적 차이를 음폭, 음도차, 지속시간, 강도의 측면에서 기술하여 진단과 치료를 위한 기초 자료를 제시하고자 한다. 실험 대상은 이완성 구음마비환자군 6명과 정상군 6명이다. 정상군은 환자군과 성별, 나이, 학력, 방언을 맞추어 선정한다. 본 연구는 억양 대비가 분명히 나타나는 의문형 어미와 서술형 어미를 선택한다. 예문은 억양 곡선을 잘 나타내기 위해 유성 자음과 모음으로 구성된 것으로 한다. 종결형 어미가 분석 목표이나 예문의 길이가 너무 짧은 경우 경도환자의 특징이 잘 나타나지 않을 수 있으므로, 주어+목적어+서술어로 구성된 3어절로 구성된 예문을 사용한다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the phonological awareness ability of preschool children with speech disorders. Subjects were composed of 18 articulatorily-disordered preschool children and 18 phonologically-disordered children of 4-6 years old. Percent of correct consonants and phonological awareness ability were tested. Results showed as follows: First, there was no remarkable difference between the two groups in percent of correct consonants. Second, the average of the total scores of the phonological awareness test showed a remarkable difference between the two groups. The same result was found in the small groups classified by the age. Because there was a remarkable difference in the phonological awareness ability in the test groups, the phonological awareness ability can be employed as an important parameter to distinguish articulatorily-disordered children from phonologically-disordered children.

With the 130 patients who were diagnosed as functional articulation disorders with no physical problems, a statistical study was performed to investigate their background information and phonological processes of errors. The results are as follows: (1) Males showed higher prevalence than females, and 5-year-old-patients showed the highest in age. (2) Most patients showed errors of 2~5 phonemes (3) The most frequent errors were found in plosives and alveolar sounds, and the most frequent phonological process of errors in the aspects of manner and place of articulation were stop-assimilations and alveolar assimilations, respectively.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of hand tapping on the accuracy and the fluency of speech production in children with speech sound disorder(SSD) and their typically developing peers(TD). Methods : The study subjects were 15 SSD children and 15 TD children aged 4, 5, and 6 years of age. Subjects were asked to give a picture name without hand tapping in the first experimental condition, and with hand tapping in the second experiment condition. Results : The results showed that hand tapping significantly increased disfluency in TD, whereas in SSD. it did not affect the accuracy or fluency of speech production. In addition, TD demonstrated a significant positive correlation with the changes of accuracy and disfluency due to hand tapping, whereas SSD had no correlation. Conclusion : We discussed the possibility that hand tapping could serve as an obstacle distracting attention from SSD and TD, acting as a motor gesture to facilitate phonological processing when facing the difficulty in lexical retrieval for SSD.
