This paper describes a new, simple technique for instantaneously rating velopharyngeal competency during speech. The instrument, designed on the basis of data obtained from aerodynamic studies, provides an index of palatopharyngeal closure. Results from model studies and 75 cleft palate subjects demonstrate how the instrument is used to differentiate between problems related to velopharyngeal closure and those resulting from other variables which often influence the performance of speakers with cleft palate.
本文介绍了一种全新的、简单的技术，用于在言语过程中即时评估腭咽功能。该仪器基于空气动力学研究获得的数据设计，可提供腭咽闭合的指标。模型研究结果以及75名腭裂患者的研究结果表明了该仪器如何用于区分与腭咽闭合相关的问题以及由其他变量导致的问题，这些变量常常影响腭裂患者的言语表现。
