SPEECH BREATHING KINEMATICS ACROSS THE HUMAN LIFE SPAN

运动学方法将被用来研究正常的语言呼吸， 人类寿命的横向和纵向研究设计。 这项研究的具体目标是确定语言呼吸是如何出现的 在婴儿，它是如何完善的儿童和青少年，以及如何 在成年人身上发生了变化。 需要考虑的主要变量包括性别， 年龄、体型和体位。 主要观察方法将 涉及使用磁力计和呼吸系统。 主要分析 方法将涉及胸腔容积和腹部容积的图形显示 将进行测量的体积以及关于 潜在的肌肉机制。 提供的数据将使第一个 描述语言呼吸变化的自然过程， 寿命，并将提供使用的规范性信息作为标准， 呼吸性言语障碍的临床评估和治疗 基地 研究与临床工作的最重要相关性应该是 与由神经运动功能障碍引起的那些病症有关，包括 脑瘫、脊髓损伤、脊髓灰质炎、重症肌无力， 脊髓性肌萎缩、周围神经病变、肌营养不良和 他人

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.
