Reduction of stuttering in adult males using relaxed breathing and EMG biofeedback : a masters thesis ...

Corsiglia, Victor F. 01 January 1986 (has links)
The present study trained three adult male stutterers to increase speech fluency using relaxed breathing and a-x; biofeedback. A one group time-series design with 2 treatments was used. After an initial baseline phase (A) all 3 subjects received a relaxed breathing procedure (B), followed by a combined procedure featuring relaxed breathing and EMG biofeedback (BC). Results indicated that after 8 sessions stuttering was reduced by 19.1% from baseline levels across the 3 subjects. Despite these promising results , however, methodological questions in the baseline phase make conclusions regarding a clear relationship between the variables tentative.

Comparison of Two Phonological Treatment Procedures for a Child with Phonological Deviations

Kemper, Katherine Vaughan 08 July 1996 (has links)
Choosing an effective and efficient phonological treatment approach is an important decision for clinicians when treating children with phonological deviations. Current research supports the effectiveness of phonological treatment, but few studies have compared two approaches. More comparative studies are essential to support clinical intervention for children who are highly unintelligible. This single-subject study was designed to compare the effectiveness of two phonologically-based treatment approaches in facilitating an intelligible speech production system for one highly unintelligible preschool female. Multiple baselines across behaviors with an alternating treatment design were used in this descriptive study. This study sought to answer the following questions: (a) Is there a clinically significant difference between the effectiveness of the cycling approach and the minimal pairs approach in treating a child with phonological disorders? and (b) Do the phonological cycling and/or the minimal pairs treatment approaches result in generalization of treated sounds in a targeted pattern to untrained words containing the treated sounds and to untreated sounds/sound contexts in the same phonological pattern? Using the phonological assessment instrument, the APP-R in conjunction with the CAPD, four phonological deviations were chosen for phonological remediation. Two deviations were assigned to the phonological cycling approach (Hodson & Paden, 1991) and two to the minimal pairs approach (Blache, 1989; Fokes, 1982). Remediation alternated between the two approaches every 6 sessions, beginning with the cycling approach, for a total of 24 sessions. Treated sounds from each targeted deviation were taught and reassessed using the APP-R to compare treatment effectiveness. To examine generalization of targeted phonological patterns to phonemes in other contexts, periodic probes of treated sounds within untrained words and untreated sounds/sound contexts in the same pattern were administered. Results of the CAPD indicate that both treatment methods were effective in improving some of the treated phonological deviations for this subject though neither method was more effective than the other. Probe words indicated generalization to untrained words and untreated sounds/sound contexts in some phonological patterns. These findings support the phonologically-based theory of remediation: the goal of phonological treatment is developing a whole phonological system, rather than perfecting targeted deviations.

Robótica asistencial ciber-física para terapia de habla-lenguaje / Assistive Cyber-physical Robotics for Speech-Language Therapy

Caldwell Marín, Eldon Glen 27 April 2020 (has links)
Esta investigación doctoral aborda la robótica asistencial (Assistive Robotics) como tema general, también llamada robótica social; específicamente el estudio de la interacción de la relación humano-robot. Con base en el estudio del estado del arte realizado, esta tesis se orientó hacia el siguiente problema de investigación: ¿es posible mejorar la efectividad terapéutica y de esta forma la calidad de vida de las personas con dificultades para comunicarse verbalmente debido a singularidades relacionadas con el habla y lenguaje; por medio del desarrollo de estrategias socio-terapéuticas que utilicen robots y mundos virtuales con frecuencias de exposición flexibles en comparación con la exposición programada utilizando únicamente robots en el mundo físico? El problema de investigación brinda una direccionalidad innovadora desde varias perspectivas científicas. Por un lado, la integración terapéutica de recursos en el mundo virtual así como en el mundo físico con robótica asistencial en colaboración con el ser humano para cumplir un objetivo de crecimiento personal. Además, la posibilidad de romper la barrera del tiempo controlado de exposición terapéutica por medio de la tecnología. Y, por otro lado, metodológicamente buscar un abordaje científico que demuestre causalidad y no sólo asociación por medios cualitativos; dado que se quiere saber si la efectividad terapéutica realmente puede incrementar como variable de respuesta. Por lo tanto, y como elemento de innovación adicional, esta investigación abordó el diseño de un prototipo tecnológico de programación robótica con emulación animada, que integra el uso de un avatar robótico virtual para facilitar la interacción social de personas que presentan dificultades de comunicación verbal relacionadas con el habla y lenguaje. El objetivo general de esta tesis se plantea como sigue: “Aportar al conocimiento científico sobre la interacción humano-robot con fines terapéuticos de comunicación verbal en el idioma castellano comparando el uso de robots en el mundo físico y virtual con flexibilidad de tiempos versus la interacción limitada a robots físicos por periodos de tiempo fijos para saber si es posible incrementar de forma relevante la efectividad terapéutica en términos de mejora de habilidades y tiempo invertido en terapia.” Esta investigación contribuye científicamente con la propuesta de un enfoque metodológico que busca obtener resultados basados en la evidencia experimental y no sólo en el análisis hermenéutico o el análisis léxico de datos cualitativos que constituye lo más frecuente en la investigación científica en este campo. En este sentido, el método exploratorio basado en datos cualitativos y abordajes epistemológicos subjetivistas pueden verse bien complementados con investigación positivista más orientada a la evidencia basada en resultados vinculados a la causalidad. Otra aportación de esta investigación está en el desarrollo tecnológico orientado hacia el uso de la experiencia de realidad virtual de personas con condiciones de limitación en habla o lenguaje en combinación con un robot físico. Esta es una forma innovadora de buscar la exposición continua y en tiempo real a los protocolos de terapia de habla sin supervisión física del terapeuta, teniendo en cuenta que las aplicaciones robóticas en mundos virtuales vinculados con el "mundo físico" no son frecuentes.

A comparison of the effects of non-operant and operant carryover techniques for /l/

Tremblay, Michelle Ann 01 January 1982 (has links)
Developing strategies to promote effective carryover is one of the most difficult tasks a clinician faces. Mention has been made in the literature of possible activities to use in the clinical setting to promote carryover. Suggestion has been made in the literature that operant conditioning is a technique which can be employed to achieve carryover. The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether there is a difference in relative effectiveness between operant and non-operant techniques for achieving carryover of /1/.

A comparison of two articulation management approaches

Sykes, Cindy Sue 01 January 1976 (has links)
This clinical project sought to examine two different approaches to the treatment of functional articulatory disorders and to implement these two approaches in the actual management of two articulation disordered clients. The two approaches selected were the traditional auditory-stimulus method (Van Riper, 1972) and the sensory-motor approach (McDonald, 1964b) to testing and treatment. It was the intention of this project to compare the results of articulation intervention of the two methods.
