Abstract The purpose of this study is to introduce the Korean version Boston Naming Test (K-BNT) and present normative data. K-BNT contains same number test items uses identical general administration method as original (BNT). However, most had be altered due linguistic cultural differences between English speakers. We administered 60 line-drawing pictures six hundred normal participants in eight age groups (15-19, 20-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65-74, 75 years older), five educational...

Patients with dementia develop dysphagia some time during the clinical course of their disease. The aim this study was to compare swallowing functions 2 most common types dementia: Alzheimer disease (AD) and vascular (VaD). Videofluoroscopic studies patient groups were analyzed according various oral, pharyngeal, laryngeal variables swallowing. results indicate that there are different patterns disorders. AD patients significantly more impaired in "oral transit delay over 5 seconds" liquids...

The study aimed to describe the properties of Korean version Western Aphasia Battery (hereinafter K-WAB) and present normative data normal individuals patients. K-WAB contains same test contents structure as original WAB general administration method was maintained. We administered 224 adults in seven age groups (1524, 2534, 3544, 4554, 5564, 6574, 75 years or older), five educational levels (0, 16, 79, 1012, 13 more) by gender. were influential performance. Accordingly, we formed six...

Although subtle discourse declines in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have been reported, heterogeneous measures and tasks among the MCI studies yielded widely varying outcomes. The present study aimed to first, identify that aid differentiation amnestic (aMCI), non-amnestic (naMCI), cognitively healthy control (HC) participants, second, delineate functions related such measures. Three (an episodic narrative, a planning task, picture description) were performed by 30 aMCI, 22...

Abstract Difficulties with speech and swallowing occur in patients Parkinsonism. Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) is proven as an effective treatment for function idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (IPD). The effect of LSVT on multiple system atrophy-cerebellar type (MSA-C) unknown. We sought to determine LSVT’s MSA-C compared IPD patients. LSVT-LOUD was performed 13 Parkinsonism (6 7 MSA-C). Maximum phonation time (MPT), voice intensity, Speech Handicap Index-15 (SHI-15), Swallowing-Quality...

Objective With advancements in digital health technologies, telepractice has become crucial for providing accessible medical interventions. Cerebral palsy (CP) frequently results comorbidities including dysarthria and dysphagia, leading to restrictions activities. This study evaluates the efficacy of both in-person telepractice-based intensive voice therapy improving speech, swallowing functions, related quality life measures adults with CP. Methods The Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT)...

Although most cases of logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA) are caused by Alzheimer's disease (AD), Lewy body (LBD) has also been reported. We assessed brain perfusion, atrophy, dopamine transporter (DAT) uptake, and language function among patients with lvPPA based on beta-amyloid. Thirty-three 28 healthy controls (HCs) underwent MRI, 18F-florbetaben PET, early- late-phase DAT PET. All completed a test. General linear models were applied to investigate the association...

<h3>Background</h3> Aspiration as a symptom of dysphagia and its apparent sequela, aspiration pneumonia, are common consequences stroke in the medulla. Previous reports that focused on due to medullary lesion were studies single cases or relatively small number patients with multiple loci. Moreover, interval between onset evaluation time swallowing was not controlled varied largely among patients. Thus, prediction status has been tenable. <h3>Objectives</h3> To investigate relation loci pure...

Background and PurposezzThe National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is a clinical assessment tool that widely used in trials practice to evaluate stroke-related neurological deficits.The aim this study was determine the validity reliability Korean version NIHSS (K-NIHSS) for evaluating stroke patients.MethodszzThe K-NIHSS translated adapted with regard cultural linguistic peculiarities.To examine its content validity, we quantified Content Validity Index (CVI), which rated by 11...

Background Swallowing difficulties (ie, dysphagia) are common among older adults, with a 13% to 54% prevalence. Adequate interventions improve the swallowing function of adults would reduce morbidity and enhance health-related quality life outcomes. Mobile health (mHealth) apps may help alleviate dysphagia symptoms by providing programs that maximize intensity frequency training without requiring high costs or regular clinic visits. Objective The aim this pilot study was assess usability...

Administration time of 1 min for semantic verbal fluency measures can be overly long and therefore bothersome aphasic patients because they often retrieve only a few items after certain period time. The purpose this study was to determine whether an administration 30 s would more efficient in differentiating among aphasics, nonaphasic stroke patients, normal controls. subjects were 53 28 They had generate as many animal names could within given number is gradually diminished three groups (p...

배경 및 목적 우리나라 음성 클리닉의 임상 현장에서는 환자 보고에 의한 심리측정적 평가도구가 부족하며, 활동 참여 측면까지 고려한 검사도구는 전무하다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 '음성 프로파일-한국판(K-VAPP)'의 타당성을 검증하고자 하였다. 방법 개념적 언어적 등가성을 위해 권고되는 절차에 따라 프로파일'을 한국어로 번역하여 300명의 대상자(음성장애 150명 대조군 150명)에게 시행하였다. 타당도 검증을 5년 이상 경력의 언어재활사 4인의 검증과 예비시행, 집단 간 점수 비교, 문항변별도 산출과 음성장애지수와의 상관관계 실시하였다. 신뢰도 내적 일치도, 검사-재검사 신뢰도를 산출하고, 절단점을 확인하였다. ê²°ê³¼ 환자군의 총점, 제한 점수, 제약 하위영역별 점수가 대조군에 비해 높았으며, 충분한 수준의 타당도를 갖춘 검사도구임이 확인되었다. 점수의 절단점은 각각 14.5점, 4.5점, 1.5점이었다. 논의 결론 K-VAPP가 음성장애 임상현장에서 타당도와 도구로...

&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Objective:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; This paper sought to examine perceptual and acoustic characteristics in Korean female voices, focusing on the ‘breathy' quality as a function of aging. In addition, we aimed investigate if three selected measures, H1-H2, H1-A1, H1-A3, demonstrated any changes along sustained vowel production. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Participants Methods:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; A total 42 participants were assigned two age groups, young women elderly women.

Objective and Background: Along with auditory function, cognitive function contributes to speech perception in the presence of background noise. Older adults impairment might, therefore, have more difficulty perceiving speech-in-noise than their peers who normal function. We compared effects noise level on patients amnestic mild (aMCI), cognitively older adults, younger adults. Methods: studied 14 aMCI age-, education-, hearing threshold-matched intact as experimental groups, a control...

이름대기 능력의 손상은 신경학적 질환을 지닌 환자뿐만 아니라, 정상적인 노화과정에 있는 노인에게서도 빈번하게 관찰된다. 능력을 평가하기 위해 가장 널리 사용되고 한국판 보스톤 검사(Korean version-the Boston Naming Test, K-BNT)는 60문항으로 구성되어 있다. 일반노인들은 노화에 따른 주의력 감소로 인하여 검사 소요시간이 길면 검사에 대한 집중이 어려워지므로, 결과에 타당도 및 신뢰도를 확보하기 위해서는 문항축소가 바람직하다. 본 연구의 목적은 '문항반응이론(Item Response Theory)'을 적용하여, 60개 문항의 K-BNT를 일반노년층의 잘 평가할 수 15개 검사(즉, K-BNT-15)를 개발하는 것이었다. 이를 위하여, 일반노인 175명을 대상으로 라쉬분석을 실시하여, 문항적합도, 성별 차이, 문항난이도 등을 평가하였다. K-BNT-15의 실시 결과, 일반 노년층은 10년 단위로 수행력이 감소하였고, 경도인지장애(mild...

Speech-in-noise perception deficits have been demonstrated in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, it remains unclear whether the of speech varies between MCI subtypes. The purpose this study was twofold: 1) to compare performance among subgroups, and 2) identify domains specifically related speech-in-noise perception.We studied 46 39 hearing-threshold-matched cognitively normal elderly (CNE) subjects. Two different patient classifications were used: amnestic (aMCI) (n=21)...

Purpose The objective of the present study is to evaluate swallowing-related quality life in Chinese patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) using validated version Swallowing Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (C-SWAL-QOL) and factors associated life, including age, duration, severity depression by 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-C).Methods C-SWAL-QOL was administered 67 PD. Upon completion C-SWAL-QOL, they completed GDS-C. Spearman’s Rho correlation analyses were performed examine...

본 연구에서는 교육용 온라인 게임의 요인을 학습내용, 상호작용, 디자인, 항해로 설정하고, 몰입(flow)에 영향을 미치리라 예측되는 학습자 즐거움, 사용태도, 탐색행동, 중요도, 기술수준, 자극수준으로 설정하였다. 그리고 이들 요인들 중 게임에서 몰입경험과 게임행동의도에 미치는 주요 요인들이 무엇인지 분석해 보았다. 몰입경험에 요인은 요인에서는 즐거움과 기술수준이었고, 게임 학습내용으로 나타났으며, 즐거움을 많이 느낄수록, 기술수준이 높을수록, 학습내용이 자신에게 실질적으로 필요한 내용일수록 몰입경험을 하게 된다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 요인으로는 요인 중에서는 즐거움이었으며 디자인이 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 이로서 활동 이후 요인보다는 더 많다는 마지막으로 학습의 지속성을 위해 관한 연구가 행해져야 한다고 제언하였다.
