Non-Oral Compensatory Misarticulations Revisited
Mary A Hardin-Jones1, Kathy L Chapman2
1University of Wyoming, University Avenue, Laramie, WY, USA.
Summary
Children with cleft palate often exhibit non-oral compensatory misarticulations. This commentary reviews current knowledge on their causes, occurrence, and treatment, highlighting areas needing further research.
Area of Science:
- Speech-Language Pathology
- Pediatric Audiology
Background:
- Non-oral compensatory misarticulations are common in children with cleft palate.
- Limited research exists on the etiology, frequency, and treatment of these speech patterns.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review existing knowledge on atypical articulation patterns in cleft palate speech.
- To address clinical assumptions regarding the etiology and treatment of these misarticulations.
Main Methods:
- Literature review and synthesis of current research.
- Analysis of clinical assumptions and practices.
Main Results:
- Non-oral compensatory misarticulations are prevalent but understudied.
- Etiology and treatment require further investigation.
Conclusions:
- Further research is needed to understand and effectively treat non-oral compensatory misarticulations in children with cleft palate.
- Clinical practices should be informed by evidence-based findings.

01:28Compensation Mechanisms
1.5K
The human body employs intricate mechanisms to counteract changes in blood pH, preventing conditions like acidosis (pH < 7.35) and alkalosis (pH > 7.45). These compensatory responses aim to restore normal arterial blood pH by engaging respiratory or renal systems, depending on the source of the imbalance.
Respiratory Compensation
This mechanism addresses metabolic-induced pH imbalances by adjusting breathing rates. Respiratory compensation begins within minutes of detecting a pH...

01:26Assessment of the Mouth
653
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

01:17Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints
3.2K
As the name indicates, at a cartilaginous joint, the adjacent bones are united by cartilage, a tough but flexible type of connective tissue. Unlike synovial joints, these types of joints lack a joint cavity and involve bones joined together by either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage.
There are two types of cartilaginous joints:
Synchondrosis
A synchondrosis ("joined by cartilage") is a cartilaginous joint where bones are connected by hyaline cartilage. Synchondrosis may be temporary...
