Electropalatography (EPG) is one of a number of computer-based biofeedback techniques being applied increasingly and apparently successfully to the treatment of speech pathologies. This paper briefly examines the function of such biofeedback systems within the remediation process and looks in particular at the features of the EPG system which render it a useful therapeutic tool. Details are summarised of a project initiated to evaluate the use of EPG in the management of a large group of speech-disordered children and young adults. Successful applications of the technique are presented by examining the different types of motor speech skill which subjects acquired during intervention. These are summarised as the establishment of completely new articulatory patterns, the inhibition of abnormal lingual patterns, and the modification of temporal or spatial aspects of one or several existing patterns. Possible reasons for the success of EPG as a therapeutic technique, and issues concerning subject selection, are discussed.
电腭图描记法（EPG）是越来越多地且显然成功地应用于言语病理学治疗的多种基于计算机的生物反馈技术之一。本文简要探讨了此类生物反馈系统在矫治过程中的作用，并特别关注使EPG系统成为一种有用治疗工具的特征。总结了一个旨在评估EPG在一大群言语障碍儿童和年轻人管理中的应用的项目细节。通过研究受试者在干预期间获得的不同类型的运动言语技能，展示了该技术的成功应用。这些技能总结为建立全新的发音模式、抑制异常舌部模式以及改变一种或多种现有模式的时间或空间方面。讨论了EPG作为一种治疗技术取得成功的可能原因以及与受试者选择相关的问题。
