Purpose: The aim of this study was to conduct a scoping review of research on oral and
laryngeal diadochokinesis (DDK) in children and adults, either typically …

Purpose Approximately 30% of adults over the age of 50 years present with altered vocal
function. Our understanding of how these changes manifest acoustically and perceptually is …

Oro-facial and speech motor control disorders represent a variety of speech and language
pathologies. Early identification of such problems is important and carries clinical …

Background Oral‐diadochokinesis (oral‐DDK) tasks are extensively used in the evaluation
of motor speech abilities. Currently, validated normative data for older adults (aged 65 years …

Background Alternating motion rate (AMR) and sequential motion rate (SMR) are tests of
articulatory diadochokinesis that are widely used in the evaluation of motor speech …

Abstract Background/Aims: Maximum repetition rate (MRR) is often used in the assessment
of speech motor performance in older children and adults. The present study aimed to …

Background Orthognathic surgical procedures, whether in one or both jaws, can affect
structures regarding the articulation and resonance of voice and speech. Objective …

Oral diadochokinetic (DDK) tasks are common research and clinical tools used to test
oromotor skills across different age groups. They include alternating motion rate (AMR) and …

Purpose: Maximum performance tests examine upper limits of speech motor performance,
as used by speech-language pathologists in dysarthria assessment protocols. The Radboud …

Abstract Purpose Task-independent (eg, Ballard et al., 2003) and task-dependent models
(eg, Ziegler, 2003) differ in their predictions regarding the learning transfer from non-speech …
