Objective: To evaluate correlations between values of articulation tests and language tests for children with articulation disorder in Korea.
Methods: Data of outpatients with chief complaint of an articulation problem were retrospectively collected. Patients who underwent Urimal Test of Articulation and Phonation (U-TAP) with Assessment of Phonology and Articulation for Children (APAC), Preschool Receptive-Expressive Language Scale (PRES), or Receptive and Expressive Vocabulary Test (REVT) simultaneously were identified. Patients whose word-level percentages of correct consonants in U-TAP (UTAP_wC) were more than 2 standard deviations below the mean as diagnostic criteria for articulation disorder were selected. Those whose receptive language age (P_RLA), expressive language age (P_ELA), or combined language age (P_CLA) in PRES was delayed more than 24 months compared to their chronological age in months as diagnostic criteria for language disorder were excluded.
Results: Thirty-three children aged 3-6 years were enrolled retrospectively. PRES and U-TAP showed significant correlations for most of value relationships. PRES and APAC showed significant correlations for all value relationships except for receptive language age. All values of REVT were significantly correlated with all values from U-TAP, but not with any value from APAC. Articulation tests U-TAP and APAC showed significant correlations between percentages of correct consonants. Language tests PRES and REVT showed significant correlations for all value relationships.
Conclusion: This study suggests that articulation abilities and language abilities might be correlated in children with articulation disorder.

The speech and language rehabilitation are essential to people who have disorders of communication that may occur due to the condition of neurological disorder, developmental delays, or bodily disabilities. With the advent of deep learning, we introduce an improved multimodal rehabilitation pipeline that incorporates audio, video, and text information in order to provide patient-tailored therapy that adapts to the patient. The technique uses a cross-attention fusion multimodal hierarchical transformer architectural model that allows it to jointly design speech acoustics as well as the facial dynamics, lip articulation, and linguistic context.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of various types of post-stroke dysarthria and establish the relationship between speech recovery and the dysarthria type in the acute period of stroke.
Material And Methods: The study included 246 patients with post-stroke dysarthria; the median age was 68 (60; 77) years. Speech recovery was evaluated based on the dysarthria score change (ΔDS) on Days 12-14 from the disease onset.

Midsagittal ultrasound images depict much of the tongue surface from root to tip, providing important articulatory information about tongue shape. However, portions of the tip can be obscured due to shadowing from the mandible bone and sublingual airspace. Also, tongue curvature or grooving within the elevational beam width can cause ambiguous or double-edge artifacts that obfuscate the midsagittal tongue surface.

Background: With advancements in computer technology, digital mandibular repositioning techniques are increasingly utilised in the management of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). This study aimed to compare the differences in joint structure restoration between traditional and digital articulation techniques.
Methods: Two groups of patients with TMD (40 in each group) received traditional or digital articulation.

: Perceptual analysis has highlighted that the voice characteristics of patients with rare congenital genetic syndromes differ from those of normophonic subjects. In this paper, we describe the voice phenotype, also called the phonotype, of patients with Crisponi/cold-induced sweating syndrome type 1 (CS/CISS1). : We conducted an observational study at the Department of Life Sciences and Public Health, Rome.
