During neurological evaluation, dysarthria is not rated using quantitative measures, but rather using a qualitative approach.
Aim of our study was to validate and acquire normative values for the PATA Rate Task (PRT), a quantitative test used to measure the severity of dysarthria.
For the PRT probands are invited to repeat the syllables "PA-TA" as quickly as possible during a 10-s interval. The score consists in the number of correct repetition of both syllables.
We enrolled 232 healthy controls (118 males, 114 females), mean and standard deviation of the PRT was 28.84 ± 6.6 (range 14-52). The PRT showed good inter-rater reliability (R = 0.783; p < 0.001), as well as test-retest reliability (R = 0.927; p < 0.001), and intra-rater reliability (R = 0.888; p < 0.001). Higher age correlated with lower scores (R = - 0.368; p < 0.001).
The PRT showed good reliability and could be easily added to the evaluation of movement disorders where a speech evaluation is essential.
在神经学评估中,构音障碍不是通过定量措施进行评分,而是采用定性方法。
我们的研究旨在验证和获得 PATA 语速测试(PRT)的正常值,该测试用于衡量构音障碍的严重程度。
在 PRT 中,要求患者在 10 秒的间隔内尽可能快地重复“PA-TA”这两个音节。得分由两个音节正确重复的数量组成。
我们共纳入 232 名健康对照者(118 名男性,114 名女性),PRT 的平均值和标准差为 28.84±6.6(范围 14-52)。PRT 具有良好的评分者间信度(R=0.783;p<0.001)、测试-重测信度(R=0.927;p<0.001)和评分者内信度(R=0.888;p<0.001)。年龄越大,得分越低(R=-0.368;p<0.001)。
PRT 具有良好的可靠性,可轻松添加到运动障碍评估中,在运动障碍评估中,言语评估至关重要。
