“…Increased segment durations (Benjamin, 1982;Smith, et al, 1987) have been a relatively consistent finding, along with reduced speed of performance on oral diadochokinetic tasks (Padovani, Gielow, & Behlau, 2009;Parnell & Amerman, 1987), presence of spirantization in the stop gap (Liss, et al, 1990) and reduced tongue-to-palate contact during fricative production (McAuliffe, Ward, & Murdoch, 2006). Agerelated vowel centralization has been observed in a number of cases, particularly for very old individuals (Benjamin, 1982;Liss, et al, 1990).…”

Purpose: Older adults exhibit difficulty understanding speech that has been experimentally degraded. Age-related changes to the speech mechanism lead to natural degradations in signal quality. We tested the hypothesis that older adults with hearing loss would exhibit declines in speech recognition when listening to the speech of older adults, compared with the speech of younger adults, and would report greater amounts of listening effort in this task.Methods: Nineteen individuals with age-related hearing loss completed speech recognition and listening effort scaling tasks. Both were conducted in quiet, when listening to high and low predictability phrases produced by younger and older speakers respectively.Results: No significant difference in speech recognition existed when stimuli were derived from younger or older speakers. However, perceived effort was significantly higher when listening to speech from older adults, as compared to younger adults. Conclusions:For older individuals with hearing loss, natural degradations in signal quality may require greater listening effort. However, they do not interfere with speech recognition -at least in quiet. Follow-up investigation of the effect of speaker age on speech recognition and listening effort under more challenging noise conditions appears warranted.

“…The assessment of oral DDK comprises phono-articulatory tests, able to assess the function of lips and tongue, by using the repetition of syllables (12) . The oral diadochokinetic performance can be influenced by age (13,14) and gender (15) , as well as by the instability of dental prostheses (16) , probably owing to the aging process of muscle groups involved in the DDK tests.…”

Purpose: To relate the findings of oral diadochokinesis (DDK) and masticatory function in healthy elderly. Methods: Analysis of medical records and images files of 35 healthy elderly subjects aged 60 to 74 years. The masticatory type and other behaviors associated with mastication of bread (1cm thick), the analysis of food seizure, bolus formation and measurement of chewing time, using a timer, were considered. For DDK assessment, the syllabic emissions "pa", "ta", "ka" and the tri-syllable "pataka", as to the parameters automatically provided Para o tipo mastigatório, apreensão e formação do bolo alimentar não houve correlação com os dados da DDC oral. Conclusão: A DDC oral correlacionou-se com o tempo mastigatório em idosos saudáveis, evidenciando que, quanto maior a instabilidade na repetição dos movimentos de ponta e dorso de língua durante a produção articulatória, maior o tempo necessário para a preparação do alimento para a deglutição.Descritores: Envelhecimento; Saúde do idoso; Mastigação; Avaliação;Testes de articulação da fala Study conducted at the Speech Therapy Course,

“…Most of the works on laryngeal DDK was performed in neurological (13,15) , elderly patients (17) , or children (18) . Only two studies evaluated oral and laryngeal DDK in individuals with behavioral dysphonia with several types of vocal affections, comparing the diadochokinetic parameters between dysphonic and non-dysphonic individuals (20) , and investigated vocal folds behavior by age groups of men and women with vocal alterations (21) .…”

“…It is defined as the ability to perform fast repetitions of relatively simple patterns composed of oppositional contractions (9) , which may suggest information about individuals' neuromotor integration and maturation (9) . This acoustic evaluation has been used in several cases and populations, such as in children with speech sound disorders (10) , cochlear implants (11) , and fluency disorder (12) , in neurological patients (13)(14)(15)(16) , healthy elderly individuals (17) , youngsters and children (18,19) , as well as in patients with behavioral dysphonia (20,21) . Considering the DDK evaluations in clinical speech-language practice, laryngeal DDK aims to investigate neuromotor control of vocal folds (22) , being used mainly for the assessment of voice disorders (13,15,17,18,20,22) .…”

RESUMO Objetivo Verificar e comparar os efeitos da terapia manual laríngea (TML) e da estimulação elétrica nervosa transcutânea (TENS) na diadococinesia laríngea de mulheres disfônicas. Método Participaram 20 mulheres com nódulos vocais, divididas igualmente por sorteio em: Grupo TML–aplicação de TML; Grupo TENS–aplicação de TENS; ambos receberam 12 sessões de tratamento, duas vezes por semana, 20 minutos cada, pelo mesmo terapeuta. As mulheres foram avaliadas quanto à diadococinesia (DDC) laríngea em três momentos, diagnóstico, pré-tratamento e pós-tratamento, o que produziu três grupos de medidas. A gravação da DDC foi realizada por meio da repetição entrecortada das vogais: /a/ e /i/. A análise da DDC foi realizada pelo programa Motor Speech Profile Advanced (MSP)-KayPentax. Os parâmetros da DDC das três avaliações foram comparados entre si pelo teste t pareado (p≤0,05). Resultados Parâmetros DDC se apresentaram semelhantes na fase sem tratamento, indicando que não houve variabilidade individual ao longo do tempo. Não houve modificação em relação à velocidade da DDC após intervenções, mas após TML, a DDC da vogal /i/ se apresentou mais estável em relação à duração do período e à intensidade das emissões. Estes resultados indicam que TML melhorou a coordenação de movimentos das pregas vocais à fonação. Não houve modificações dos parâmetros da DDC em relação à estabilidade das emissões após TENS. Conclusão TML promove maior regularidade de movimentos diadococinéticos das pregas vocais em mulheres disfônicas, o que amplia o conhecimento sobre o efeito do reequilíbrio da musculatura laríngea na função fonatória, já TENS não proporciona efeitos na diadococinesia laríngea.
