Area of Science:

  • Neurolinguistics
  • Speech-Language Pathology

Context:

  • Investigating speech rate in individuals with dysarthria.
  • Comparing speech patterns in dysarthric patients versus healthy controls.

Purpose:

  • To objectively measure and compare the speech rate of dysarthric patients during standardized reading and spontaneous speech tasks.
  • Establishing quantitative data on speech rate for dysarthria assessment.

Summary:

  • Eleven dysarthric patients (aged 18-69) and their matched controls participated. Speech rate was assessed in words per minute during a standardized text reading and a two-minute conversation.
  • Results indicated a statistically significant reduction in speech rate for the dysarthric group in both speech conditions compared to the control group.

Impact:
