37
Q

Pneumatic vs. Nonpneumatic Activities

A
  • Nonpneumatic
  • –Swallowing, gagging, vomiting
  • Pneumatic
  • –Positive pressure—whistling, blowing, speech
  • –Negative pressure—sucking, kissing
38
Q

Pneumatic vs. Nonpneumatic Activities

A
  • During nonpneumatic activities:
  • –Entire length of LPWs move together with exaggerated movement.
  • –Closure is higher than with speech.
  • During speech:
  • –Greatest movement occurs with high-pressure consonants.

-Note: Closure for speech and other positive pressure activities are different. Do not work on blowing/sucking to improve speech!

39
Q

Timing of Closure

A
  • Valve closes before phonation begins or sound will be hypernasal.
  • Closure is maintained until a nasal consonant or the utterance is ended.
40
Q

-
-

A
  • Closure contact may vary with different sounds.
  • Closure tends to be higher and tighter with high vowels and high-pressure consonants, especially voiceless consonants.
  • Closure can be affected by rate and fatigue.
41
Q

-
-

A
  • Contact firmness varies with consonant.
  • **Gap of 5 mm (20 mm2) is the threshold for hypernasality.
  • Even very small gaps cause audible nasal air emission.
42
Q

-

A
  • Velar movement and closure can decrease with rapid rate and muscular fatigue.
  • Rate and fatigue affects the height and firmness of closure.
43
Q

-

A
  • Velum increases in thickness and length—”velar stretch.”

- Maturation results in an increase in oral-motor coordination.

44
Q

-
-

A
  • Facial skeleton, including hard and soft palate, moves down and forward.
  • Posterior pharyngeal wall changes in inclination and bends forward.
  • Gradual involution of adenoid tissue occurs, particularly around puberty.

-age 13-14 velum has to get used to closing - has been using adenoids

45
Q

Subsystems for Speech

A 
Respiration
Phonation
Prosody (stress, rhythm, and intonation)
Resonance and velopharyngeal function
Articulation
46
Q

Respiration

A
  • Air pressure is required to initiate and sustain phonation:
  • –Vocal folds close.
  • –Subglottic air pressure builds.
  • –Vocal folds break open and begin to vibrate.
  • –Pressure is released.
47
Q

-

A
  • Take a deep breath and prolong an “ah.”

- When does phonation stop?

48
Q

-

A
  • Breathing for vegetative purposes is different than breathing for speech.
  • There is a need to control breathing for phrasing.
49
Q

-

A
  • Note pattern of inspiration and expiration at rest vs. during speech.
  • Inspiration is controlled based on phrasing and utterance length
50
Q

-

A
  • Provides airflow, which converts to intraoral air pressure for articulation
  • Is important for pressure-sensitive sounds
  • 1:1 at rest
  • during speech - 10% inhale, 90% exhale

55
Q

Velopharyngeal Function

for oral sounds

A

For oral sounds:

  • Velopharyngeal valve is closed.
  • This allows acoustic energy to enter oral cavity.
  • It is important for the production of most consonant sounds (particularly plosives, fricatives, affricates) and all vowels.
56
Q

Velopharyngeal Function

For nasal sounds

A

For nasal sounds:
Velopharyngeal valve is open.
This allows most of the sound energy to enter the nasal cavity
It is important for nasal sounds (m, n, ŋ).

57
Q

Velopharyngeal Function

A

Velopharyngeal valve must open and close quickly and efficiently
Example: “It’s my map.” requires the valve to close-open-close-open-close in just three syllables.

58
Q

Articulation

vowels

A
  • Produced by altering oral resonance
  • Formant frequencies affected by:
  • –Position of tongue, jaw, and lips
  • –Size and shape of oral cavity
  • Acoustics and vowel perception affected by formant frequencies
59
Q

Articulation

Consonants

A
  • Produced with partial or complete obstruction of oral cavityand then release
  • Usually produced with air pressure
60
Q

Articulation

Manner of Production

A
  • Plosives (p, b, t, d, k, g)
  • –Completely close oral cavity.
  • –Build up air pressure.
  • –Release air pressure suddenly.
  • Fricatives (f, v, s, z, ʃ, Θ, ð)
  • –Partially close oral cavity.
  • –Build up air pressure.
  • –Release air pressure gradually.
  • Affricates (ʧ, j)
  • –Combine a plosive with a fricative.
  • –ʧ = t + ʃ
  • –ʤ = d + ʒ
61
Q

Subsystems

A
  • All subsystems need to be good “team players.”

- If one subsystem is not working well, it affects the work of the other “team players.”

A

In the evaluation and treatment of speech and resonance disorders, it is important to have a thorough understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the vocal tract.

  • Anatomy of the face, oral cavity, and velopharyngeal valve is well documented.
  • Physiology of the velopharyngeal mechanism, particularly as it relates to speech, is very complex.
