ABSTRACT
@#Objective To explore the phonological characteristics of lateral misarticulation in children with functional articulation disor-ders and the rehabilitation approaches for them. Methods From June, 2013 to December, 2014, 44 children with lateral misarticulation were assessed and the phonological characteristics of lateral misarticulation were analyzed. They accepted targeted rehabilitation training. The cor-relation was analyzed between lateral misarticulation and age as well as severity of disorder. Results The frequency of lateral misarticulation was the most in Blade-palatals (75.00%), and then the dentals (65.91%), lingua-palatals (56.82%) and blade-alveolar consonant (20.45%). Thirty-eight cases were cured and 4 cases improved after 1 to 5 courses of rehabilitation. The overall cure rate was 86.36%(38/44), and it was 100%(11/11), 86.67%(13/15), 77.78%(14/18) in those with mild, moderate and severe disorder, respectively. There was no significant correlation between lateral misarticulation and age (r=0.100, P=0.752) as well as severity (r=0.257, P=0.092). Conclusion Lateral misarticu-lation in children with functional articulation disorders mainly occurs on blade-palatals, dentals and lingua-palatals. The targeted speech re-habilitation training is beneficial.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of lateral misarticulation. Methods 39 patients with lateral misarticulation were recruited. Their articulation was recorded by the computer speech lab according to the Putonghua syllable chart of the collocation of consonants and vowels, then the recording materials were analyzed. Results 22 cases with lateral misarticulation were on both sides, 14 cases were on the right side and 3 cases on the left side. Lateral misarticulation mainly occurred in consonants with the highest incidence in /z/, / c/, /s/, /zh/, /ch/, /sh/, /j/, /q/ and /x/. There were two or more release bursts in the spectrogram of lateral misarticulation. There was no significant correlation between the number of lateral misarticulation and age (r=0.110, P=0.507). Conclusion Lateral misarticulation mainly occurs in supradental, blade-palatal and lingua-palatal phoneme. The time-domain waveform diagram and spectrogram are helpful for the diagnosis of lateral misarticulation. Lateral misarticulation should be corrected in time.
