Item Open Access Auditory-perceptual analysis of dysarthria in bilateral striatopallidodentate calcinosis (fahr's disease)(Journal of Medical Speech-Language Pathology, 2012-03-01) Jacks, A; Haley, KL; Scott, BL; Jones, HA 53-year-old woman with bilateral striatopallidodentate calcinosis (BSPDC) was referred for motor speech examination, and high-quality acoustic recordings were obtained. Three speech-language pathologists experienced in auditory-perceptual assessment of speakers with dysarthria scored 47 auditory-perceptual speech features using a 5-point equal- Appearing interval scale. Results of consensus agreement found speech to be characterized by breathy dysphonia, hypemasality, imprecise consonants, irregular articulatory breakdowns, slow rate, short phrases, and excess and equal stress. Speech signs appeared most consistent with a moderate mixed ataxic-hypokinetic dysarthria. The ataxic component predominated and was distinguished by the speech features of excess and equal stress and irregular articulatory breakdowns. Distinctive speech features of hypokinetic dysarthria included monopitch, breathy phonation, reduced loudness, and variable rate. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive report of the dysarthria encountered in BSPDC and can serve as a foundation for future research into dysarthria in this condition.

J. Neurotrauma 2018;35(21):2554–2560. (DOI: 10.1089/neu.2017.5535)(Journal of Neurotrauma, 2020-03-15) Wilson, JR; Jaja, BNR; Kwon, BK; Guest, JD; Harrop, JS; Aarabi, B; Shaffrey, C; Badhiwala, JH; Toups, EG; Grossman, RG; Fehlings, MGItem Open Access Fundamental frequency and intensity mean and variability before and after two behavioral treatments for aprosodia(Journal of Medical Speech-Language Pathology, 2009-03-01) Jones, HN; Shrivastav, R; Wu, SS; Plowman-Prine, EK; Rosenbek, JCEmerging data suggest that aprosodia may be amenable to behavioral treatment. This study investigated the use of acoustic analysis of speech to quantify response to two speech treatments previously judged to have an effect based on perceptual assessment in three participants with primarily expressive aprosodia. The mean and variability of fundamental frequency (F0) and intensity (INT) during production of sentences requiring use of four different emotional tones of speech (i.e., happy, angry, sad, or neutral) was calculated before and after two mechanism-based treatments for aprosodia (i.e., TX1 and TX2). Statistical differences in F0 mean and variability were primarily observed following TX1, whereas differences in INT mean and variability were principally revealed following TX2. Additionally, significant differences in these acoustic values were noted across almost all pairwise comparisons of emotional sentence types (i.e., angry vs. sad, happy vs. sad, neutral vs. sad, angry vs. neutral, and happy vs. neutral). These preliminary data suggest that perceptual improvements in aprosodia can be measured quantitatively using acoustic analysis of speech and provide additional support for previously described behavioral treatments for this disorder. These findings also support previous reports that suggest that different emotional tones of speech are associated with differences in the acoustic speech signal.
