Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most frequently occurring cause of movement disorders in children. It has a prevalence of 2-2.5 cases per 1000 live births and is a chronic condition, requiring lifelong rehabilitation. The ability to communicate is a primary factor in positive functional outcomes for individuals with neuromuscular disorders such as CP. As many as 80% of these individuals have motor speech disorders due to neuromuscular control of the speech mechanism. Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT®LOUD) is an intervention program that uses established activity-dependent neuroplasticity principles to promote short- and long-term changes in voice and speech through an intensive voice intervention with a single target of increasing vocal loudness. Initial studies have shown that LSVT LOUD improves aspects of oral communication in children with dysarthria secondary to CP. Other features of motor speech function also have been shown to respond positively to LSVT LOUD, such as articulatory precision, pitch variability, and breath control. The present study examined the effects of LSVT LOUD on respiratory control for non-speech and speech tasks in children with motor speech disorders secondary to CP. Method. Nine children with CP and motor speech disorders received LSVT LOUD delivered by a registered speech-language pathologist, followed by a twelve-week maintenance period during which the children used a computer program or paper and pencil to guide and document their practice. Typically developing aged-matched children served as a control group. Assessments were conducted at three time points: pre-treatment, post-LSVT LOUD, and post-maintenance period. Both non-speech and speech tasks were designed to elicit a range of lung volumes and tracheal pressures, which were evaluated via chest wall kinematics, chest wall surface electromyography, and vocal loudness (sound pressure level). Tasks included vital capacity, maximum duration phonation, maximum duration phonation at twice-conversational loudness, diadochokinetic sequential motion rates, and phrase repetition at conversational and twice-conversational loudness. Thirteen dependent variables were tested: lung volume events (initiations, terminations, excursions, percent rib cage contribution to lung volume excursion), intercostal muscle activation onsets/offsets, oblique onsets/offsets, intercostal relative activation, oblique relative activation, and intercostal-oblique intermuscular coherence. Results. The main findings of this study were that sixteen sessions of LSVT LOUD and a 12-week maintenance program, i) increased stability of speech breathing patterns including lung volume initiations, terminations, excursions and percent rib cage contributions to lung volume excursions; ii) increased intercostal muscular effort for the trained maximum duration phonation task; iii) decreased the intercostal muscular effort required to repeat untrained phrases using both conversational and perceived twice-conversational loudness; iv) increased intercostal-oblique intermuscular coherence in an untrained sequential motion task (/pataka/) requiring articulatory speed and precision. Conclusion. This preliminary investigation into the use of an intensive vocal loudness treatment (LSVT LOUD) for children with CP and a range of type and severity of motor speech disorders shows a promising short- and long-term treatment response. These results add to the voice and speech treatment literature and will help guide future stages of treatment efficacy research in paediatric motor speech disorders.

This book was released on 1991-01-16 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new and extensively revised edition of one of the most popular of the Clinics series, brings the original work up to date and clarifies Karel Bobath's account of the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the motor disorders of cerebral palsy. It also highlights the advantages of very early treatment of infants before the disordered postures and movements are established. All those involved with physically handicapped children, and especially therapists, will find the book invaluable reading.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current research exploring treatment of dysarthria in children with diagnoses of cerebral palsy (CP) suggests the importance of prioritizing the respiratory system, rather than isolating treatment to the oral motor or articulatory system alone. The purpose of this investigation was to attempt replication of previous intervention targeting specific respiratory tasks in intervention, followed by examination of the effectiveness in use of a more direct respiratory treatment in the use of a specifically developed Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) protocol combined with the respiratory tasks of the SST protocol. Two five-year old participants with diagnoses of spastic/dystonic CP and associated dysarthria completed an intensive course of speech therapy in an investigation structured using single case research design. Seven sessions of SST were presented, followed by a two-week no treatment period, and then combined SST/NDT for six therapy sessions. Data were collected regarding performance on respiratory/speech tasks, as well as intermittent measures of single word and connected speech intelligibility. A rating of postural control was also included in this investigation. Each participant responded positively to both the SST and NDT/SST combined treatment, with improved performance on the respiratory/speech tasks of coordination of resipiration with phonation, duration of phonation, slowed rate of speech and appropriate pausing for breath. While variable changes in speech intelligibility were identified at the single word level, intelligibility of connected speech improved 15.5-20% over the course of the investigation. Following the combined NDT/SST phase, increased postural control in a seated position was also documented. Short intensive cycles of SST and NDT/SST combined were effective in improving respiratory control and coordination in children with CP/dysarthria, with functional improvement in speech intelligibility achieved.

Book excerpt: Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to examine the treatment outcomes in children with a mixed diagnoses of dysarthria and childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), secondary to Cerebral Palsy (CP) after the completion of LSVT®LOUD followed by a six-week motor speech treatment. Method: A single case research design was used to examine the speech outcomes in four children (12 to 16 years of age; 3 females) who completed LSVT LOUD, consisting of 16 hours of individual 1-hour treatment sessions within a 4-week time period. After a 12-week maintenance program, these same children underwent intensive motor speech treatment for an additional six-week period, consisting of 18 hours of therapy comprised of 30-minute individual sessions followed by 1-hour group sessions, twice per week. Perceptual, intelligibility, and speech acoustic variables were collected and assessed at four different time points: pre- and post-treatment for both therapy types. In addition, nasalance scores were collected at pre- and post- motor speech treatment. Results: Three of four participants displayed increased dB SPL at post-LSVT LOUD and 12-weeks follow-up compared to pre-treatment measures. A visual trend illustrated increased percent intelligibility post-LSVT LOUD for all four participants with significantly higher ratings at 12-weeks follow-up. Additional gains in dB SPL, intelligibility, diadokokinetic performance, and vowel space were observed following motor speech treatment. Conclusion: Results indicated positive therapeutic outcomes following both treatment approaches and provides some initial information on the use of sequential treatment approaches in children with motor speech disorders secondary to CP.
