NEUROGENIC SPEECH DISORDERS

该临床研究中心的总体目标是推进我们的 运动性语言障碍的理解和治疗。 我们正在 通过一系列综合调查实现这一目标 包括感知、声学、空气动力学、肌电、运动和 力分析，在许多情况下同时进行和/或在相同的 进行批判性比较解释的主题。 具体来说，我们的研究 程序涉及并发活动的四个主要领域：（1）可理解性， 构音障碍言语的声学和空气动力学分析，（2） 言语机制子系统的运动控制障碍概况，（3）系统 以生理学为基础的研究，针对语言的神经基础 运动功能和功能障碍，以及（4）发展，评估和完善 运动性语言障碍的康复技术

The overall goal of this clinical research center is to advance our understanding and treatment of motor speech disorders. We are in the process of achieving this objective through an integrated series of investigations involving perceptual, acoustic, aerodynamic, electromyographic, movement and force analyses, in many cases conducted simultaneously and/or on the same subjects for critical comparative interpretations. Specifically, our research program involves four major areas of concurrent activity: (1) intelligiblity, acoustic and aerodynamic analyses of dysarthric speech, (2) the development of motor control impairment profiles for speech mechanism subsystems, (3) system physiology-based investigations directed at the neural substrates of speech motor function and dysfunction, and (4) development, evaluation, and refinement of improved techniques for rehabilitation of motor speech disorders.
