Abstract

General characteristics of speech in deft palate patients are hypemasality and articulation disorder, which are affected by velopharyngeal inadequacy(VPI). 17 subjects with a chief complaint of 'nasal sounds and inaccurate pronunciation' underwent a speech-language evaluation before and after pharyngoplasty. Hypemasality and obligatory articulation errors were improved but compensatory articulation errors remained after pharyngoplasty. Above mentioned results indicate that resonance may be normal or improved following successful surgical management of VPI but, compensatory articulation errors will still persist. The separate recognition of hypemasality, compensatory and obligatory articulation errors in deft palate patients is important in determining the timing of therapy and selection of appropriate targets in therapy.
