RESUMO
ObjectiveTo compare the effect of routine speech training and computer-assisted training on post-stroke dysarthria. MethodsFrom March, 2021 to April, 2023, 72 patients with post-stroke dysarthria in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 36) and experimental group (n = 36). Both groups received routine rehabilitation, while the control group received routine speech training, and the experimental group received computer-assisted training, for four weeks. They were assessed with modified Frenchay Dysarthria Assessment (m-FDA) and Speech Intelligibility (SI) before and after intervention. ResultsEight cases in the control group and one case in the experimental group dropped down. The scores of m-FDA and SI improved in both groups after treatment (|Z| > 4.183, P < 0.001), and there was no significant difference between two groups (|Z| < 1.598, P > 0.05). Noninferiority of m-FDA was found between two groups (|t| > 3.656, P < 0.001). ConclusionComputer-assisted training could improve the speech function of patients with post-stroke dysarthria, similar to routine speech training.
