Maximum Performance Tests in the Assessment of Neurogenic Speech ImpairmentPhoni by S.karger Ag - 13h ago Preview    AUTO POST  SAVE TO EVERNOTEBackground: Maximum performance tests are widely used in dysarthria assessment. From a theoretical perspective, the motor demands of such tasks differ from those of speaking. Therefore, their validity as measures of dysarthric impairment needs to be established empirically. Patients and Methods: Maximum phonation time (MPT) and maximum syllable repetition...
