The Impact of Stimulus Length in Tongue and Lip Movement Pattern Stability in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

CONCLUSIONS: Articulatory stability is influenced by the length of speech signals and manifests similarly in both healthy speakers and persons with ALS. TT stability may be significantly impacted by phonemic content due to greater movement flexibility. Compared to healthy controls, there was an increase in articulatory variability in those with ALS, which likely reflects deviations in speech motor control.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.24463924.PMID:37988653 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00079
