The maximum performance tests of speech production are those tests that examine the upper limits of performance for selected speech tasks. Among the most commonly used maximum performance tests are the following: maximum duration of phonation, maximum fricative duration, maximum phonation volume, maximum expiratory pressure, fundamental frequency range, maximum sound pressure level, maximum occluding force of the articulators, and diadochokinetic (maximum repetition) rate. Many clinicians use at least some of these tasks as part of an assessment protocol. These tests are analogous to strength, range, or speed tests in clinical neurology. Given the widespread use of these tests and a rather scattered literature on normative values obtained for them, a survey of the data base seemed in order. This paper summarizes the published normative data, discusses the adequacy of these data for clinical application, and recommends interpretive guidelines to enhance the usefulness of maximum performance tests.
言语产生的最大性能测试是那些检查特定言语任务性能上限的测试。最常用的最大性能测试包括以下这些：发声的最长持续时间、擦音的最长持续时间、发声的最大音量、最大呼气压力、基频范围、最大声压级、发音器官的最大咬合力量以及重复运动（最大重复）速率。许多临床医生至少会将其中一些任务作为评估方案的一部分。这些测试类似于临床神经学中的力量、范围或速度测试。鉴于这些测试的广泛应用以及关于它们所获得的规范值的文献相当分散，对数据库进行一次调查似乎是必要的。本文总结了已发表的规范数据，讨论了这些数据在临床应用中的充分性，并推荐了解释性指南以提高最大性能测试的实用性。
