Five patients representing different categories of glossal resection were fitted with prostheses specifically designed to improve speech. Speech recordings made for subjects with and without their prostheses were subjected to a variety of analyses. Prosthetic influence on listeners' judgments of severity level/intelligibility, number of consonants in error, and on the acoustic measure F2 range of vowels was evaluated. Findings indicated that all subjects demonstrated improvement on the speech measures. However, the extent of improvement on each measure varied across speakers and resection categories. Implications of the findings for prosthetic speech rehabilitation in this population are discussed.
五名代表不同类型舌切除术的患者佩戴了专门设计用于改善言语的假体。对佩戴和未佩戴假体的受试者进行了语音记录，并进行了各种分析。评估了假体对听众对严重程度/可懂度的判断、错误辅音数量以及元音声学测量F2范围的影响。研究结果表明，所有受试者在言语测量方面都有改善。然而，每项测量的改善程度因说话者和切除类型而异。讨论了这些发现对该人群假体言语康复的意义。
