This study presents survey data on 58 Dutch-speaking patients with neurogenic stuttering following various neurological injuries. Stroke was the most prevalent cause of stuttering in our patients, followed by traumatic brain injury, neurodegenerative diseases, and other causes. Speech and non-speech characteristics were analyzed separately for these four etiology groups. Results suggested possible group differences, including site of lesion and influence of speech conditions on stuttering. Other characteristics, such as within-word localization of disfluencies and presence of secondary behaviors were comparable across the etiology groups. The implications of our results for the diagnosis of neurogenic stuttering will be discussed.
After reading this article, the reader will be able to: (1) provide a concise overview of the main literature on neurogenic stuttering; (2) discuss the speech and non-speech characteristics of neurogenic stuttering; (3) provide an overview of current clinical practices for intervention with neurogenic stuttering patients and their perceived outcome.
本研究呈现了58名荷兰语患者在遭受各种神经损伤后出现神经源性口吃的调查数据。中风是我们患者中口吃最常见的原因，其次是创伤性脑损伤、神经退行性疾病和其他原因。对这四个病因组分别分析了言语和非言语特征。结果表明可能存在组间差异，包括病变部位以及言语条件对口吃的影响。其他特征，如言语不流畅在单词内的定位和伴随行为的存在，在各病因组之间具有可比性。将讨论我们的结果对神经源性口吃诊断的意义。
阅读本文后，读者将能够：（1）简要概述关于神经源性口吃的主要文献；（2）讨论神经源性口吃的言语和非言语特征；（3）概述目前对神经源性口吃患者进行干预的临床实践及其预期结果。
