During nasal breathing, the velopharyngeal valve is open. The velum rests against the base
of the tongue and the lateral pharyngeal walls are wide apart (Fig. 1). This arrangement …

Objective To describe the results of two reliability studies and to assess the effect of training
on interrater reliability scores. Design The first study (1) examined interrater and intrarater …

Objective To investigate the validity and reliability of multiple listener judgments of
hypernasality and audible nasal emission, in children with repaired cleft palate, using visual …

Objective To investigate the reliability of ordinal versus visual analogue scaling (VAS)
ratings for perceptual judgments of nasal resonance, nasal airflow, understandability, and …

Objective: To compare reliability in auditory-perceptual assessment of hypernasality for 3
different methods and to explore the influence of language background. Design …

Purpose Perceptual assessments remain the most commonly utilized procedure to diagnose
and evaluate resonance disorders. However, the discussion continues about which rating …

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Perceptual evaluation is considered the gold standard to
evaluate speech nasality. Several procedures are used to collect and analyze perceptual …

Purpose To investigate whether a novel electropalatography (EPG) therapy, underpinned by
usage-based phonology theory, can improve the accuracy of target speech sounds for …

Introdução Alto índice de concordância no julgamento perceptivo da hipernasalidade entre
diferentes avaliadores é difícil de ser alcançado. O treinamento prévio dos avaliadores ea …

Abstract Purpose The Nasality Severity Index 2.0 (NSI 2.0) forms a new, multiparametric
approach in the identification of hypernasality. The present study aimed to investigate the …
