SPEECH BREATHING KINEMATICS ACROSS THE HUMAN LIFE SPAN

运动学方法将被用来研究正常的语音呼吸 横断面和纵向研究设计中的人类寿命。 这项研究的具体目的是确定语音呼吸是如何出现的 在婴儿期，它在儿童和青春期是如何提炼的，以及它是如何提炼的 在成人身上发生了改变。需要考虑的主要变量包括性别、 年龄、体型和体位。主要的观察方法将 包括使用磁力计和REPITRATE系统。主要分析 方法将包括肋骨笼体积和腹部的图形显示 将进行测量的体积和由此得出的推论 潜在的肌肉机制。提供的数据将使第一个 描述了语音呼吸的自然变化过程 使用寿命，并将提供作为标准使用的规范信息 言语障碍伴呼吸系统障碍的临床评价与处理 本垒打。这项研究与临床工作的首要相关性应该是 与神经运动功能障碍引起的障碍有关，包括 脑瘫，脊髓损伤，脊髓灰质炎，重症肌无力， 脊髓性肌萎缩症、周围神经病、肌营养不良 其他。

Kinematic methods will be used to study normal speech breathing across the human life span in both cross-sectional and longitudinal research designs. Specific aims of the research are to determine how speech breathing emerges in the infant, how it is refined in the child and adolescent, and howe it is modified in the adult. Major variables to be considered include gender, age, somatotype, and body position. Primary observation methods will involve the use of magnetometer and Respitrace systems. Major analysis methods will involve graphic displays of rib cage volume and abdominal volume from which measurements will be made and inferences drawn concerning underlying muscular mechanisms. Data provided will enable the first description of the natural course of changes in speech breathing across the life span and will provide normative information of use as a standard for clinical evaluation and management of speech disorders with respiratory bases. Foremost relevance of the research to clinical endeavors should be in relation to those disorders caused by neuromotor dysfunction, including cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, poliomyelitis, myasthenia gravis, spinal muscular atrophy, peripheral neuropathy, muscular dystrophy, and others.
