Flexibility for Intensity Dosing in Lingual Resistance Exercises: A Large Randomized Clinical Trial in Typically Aging Adults as Proof of Principle
CONCLUSIONS: All groups improved pressure generation. Intensity dosing differences did not affect strength gains, adherence, or detraining. Regular effort saliva swallow pressure may be most responsive to maximum intensity with biofeedback. The findings suggest flexibility in approach to tongue exercise protocols. Tongue muscles may differ from limb muscles in terms of dose response and neuroplasticity principles.PMID:37850842 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-23-00113 (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)

Treatment Outcomes of Interdisciplinary Care on Speech and Health-Related Quality of Life Outcomes in Adults With Cleft Palate
CONCLUSIONS: The reduced speech acceptability and the presence of resonance and nasal airflow disorders may indicate the need for standardized long-term outcome measurement and interdisciplinary follow-up for speech characteristics and velopharyngeal insufficiency in young and middle adulthood in future clinical practice. Additional research is necessary to further substantiate these findings and to determine predictors for these continuing complications in adults with a CP ± L.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.24243901.PMID:37844623 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-23-00024 (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)

Feedback From Automatic Speech Recognition to Elicit Clear Speech in Healthy Speakers
CONCLUSIONS: ASR successfully elicited outcomes similar to clear speech in healthy speakers. Future work should investigate its efficacy in eliciting clear speech in people with dysarthria.PMID:37824377 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-23-00030 (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)
