简要总结
To determine the effectiveness of a single 10-min postural repositioning session on the maximum phonation duration in individuals with acquired dysarthria.
详细描述
The impact of dysarthria goes beyond communication. However, there have been no clear directives guiding clinical practice to date, and despite increasing evidence directing treatment, research remains limited and predominantly consists of case studies or case series. Despite the importance of postural control in voice production, the effects of postural alignment on speech production efficiency are either little investigated or not at all explored in the dysarthric population. This study determined the effectiveness of a single 10-min postural repositioning session on the maximum phonation duration (MPD) in individuals with acquired dysarthria.
