This paper reports on the use of electropalatography (EPG) in the treatment of a patient with severe acquired apraxia of speech. At 2 years post-onset and after a period of conventional speech and language therapy, the patient, AD, presented with severe speech production problems affecting articulation, phonation and resonance. Treatment using EPG is described and both the patient's progress and his continued limitations are outlined. EPG provided a valuable form of visual feedback for the patient and revealed and clarified aspects of oral movements for speech and non-speech activity which had been difficult to capture via auditory perception.
本文报道了使用电腭图（EPG）治疗一名严重获得性言语失用症患者的情况。发病两年后，经过一段时间的传统言语和语言治疗，患者AD仍存在严重的言语产生问题，影响发音、发声和共鸣。文中描述了使用EPG进行的治疗，并概述了患者的进展情况以及他仍然存在的局限性。EPG为患者提供了一种有价值的视觉反馈形式，揭示并阐明了言语和非言语活动中口腔运动的一些方面，而这些方面通过听觉感知很难捕捉到。
