Dysarthria in Friedreich's ataxia: a perceptual analysisJoanne Folker
School of Health and Rehabilitation Science, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD, Australia
Folia Phoniatr Logop 62:97-103. 2010..The findings support the notion of subgroups in FRDA dysarthria, representing distinct impairments of the speech mechanism and perhaps reflective of differing evolutions beyond the cerebellum...
Kinematic analysis of lingual movements during consonant productions in dysarthric speakers with Friedreich's ataxia: A case-by-case analysisJoanne E Folker
School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD, Australia
Clin Linguist Phon 25:66-79. 2011....
Differentiating profiles of speech impairments in Friedreich's ataxia: a perceptual and instrumental approachJoanne E Folker
School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Queensland, St Lucia, Brisbane, QLD, Australia
Int J Lang Commun Disord 47:65-76. 2012..However, variable neuropathology beyond the cerebellum, which may include the corticospinal and corticobulbar tracts, means that the dysarthria can be mixed rather than a pure ataxic dysarthria...
Spectral measures of the effects of Friedreich's ataxia on speechKristin M Rosen
The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia
Int J Speech Lang Pathol 13:329-34. 2011..It is concluded that the rate of spectral change is a useful measure of dysarthria associated with FRDA...
Articulatory kinematics in the dysarthria associated with Friedreich's ataxiaJoanne E Folker
School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, The University of Queensland, St Lucia, QLD, Australia
Motor Control 15:376-89. 2011..It is suggested that deviant lingual kinematics could be the outcome of disturbances to cerebellar function, or possibly in combination with disturbances to upper motor neuron systems...
Differentiating impairment levels in temporal versus spatial aspects of linguopalatal contacts in Friedreich's ataxiaJoanne E Folker
School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, The University of Queensland, St Lucia, QLD, Australia
Motor Control 14:490-508. 2010..These findings suggest that the articulatory impairment in FRDA manifests as a temporal rather than spatial disturbance...
Measures of spectral change and their application to habitual, slow, and clear speaking modesKristin M Rosen
School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, The University of Queensland St Lucia Qld, 4072, Australia
Int J Speech Lang Pathol 13:165-73. 2011..These results suggest that measures of the degree and rate of spectral change together can be used to detect changes between clear, slow, and habitual speaking modes, and hold potential as performance measures...
Automatic method of pause measurement for normal and dysarthric speechKristin Rosen
The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia
Clin Linguist Phon 24:141-54. 2010..From this preliminary study, it is concluded that distributional analysis of pause duration holds promise as a useful method of measuring the effects of FRDA on functional speech...
