It is widely accepted that Parkinson's disease(PD) is the most common cause of hypokinetic dysarthria, and its characteristics of 'short rushes of speech' have become more evident along with the severity of motor disorders. Speech alternate motion rates (AMRs) are particularly useful for observing not only rate abnormalities but also deviant speech. However, relatively little is known about the characteristics of 'short rushes of speech' in terms of AMRs of PD except for the perceptual characteristics. The purpose of this study was to examine which acoustic features of 'short rushes of speech' in terms of AMRs are a robust indicator of Parkinsonian speech. Numbers of syllabic repetitions (/pə/, /tə/, /kə/) in AMR tasks were analyzed through acoustic methods observing a spectrogram of the Computerized Speech Lab in 9 patients with PD. Acoustically, we found three characteristics of 'short rushes of speech': 1) Vocalized consonants without closure duration(VC) 76.3%; 2) No consonant segmentation(NC) 18.6%; 3) No vowel formant frequency(NV) 5.1%. Based on these results, 'short rushes of speech' may affect the failure to reach and maintain the phonatory targets. In order to best achieve the therapeutic goals, and to make the treatment most efficacious, it is important to incorporate training methods which are based on both phonation and articulation.

특발성 파킨슨병(idiopathic Parkinson disease, IPD)은 알 수 없는 원인으로 인해 중뇌의 흑질신경세포가 손실되는 대표적인 퇴행성 신경계 질환이다. IPD 환자는 신체 운동 이상을 주로 호소하지만 이들 중 70~90%가 운동저하형 마비말장애(hypokinetic dysarthria)를 동반하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 진행된 심도의 IPD 환자의 운동 증상 호전에 가장 효과적인 치료 방법으로 알려진 시상밑부핵 심부뇌자극술(subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation, STN-DBS)은 말 산출에서는 그 효과가 일관되지 않게 보고된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 STN-DBS가 말 산출에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 연구에서 어떠한 말 평가 과제가 사용되었는지를 조사하기 위하여 medline을 통해 2012까지 이루어진 연구 논문을 수집하였다. 총 32편 중, 연구대상자들에서 술 후 말 상태의'호전'이 관찰된 논문은 42%,'악화'는 29%,'엇갈리는 결과'는 26%,'변화 없음'은 3%로 확인되었다. 말 효과 간에는 문맥발화(contextual speech)가 연구에 사용된 비중이 높을수록 술 후 말 상태는 부정적인 결과로 보고되었으며, 말 산출 단계 중 일부 단계(예: 호흡 및 발성만, 혹은 조음만)만이 반영된 평가 과제가 연구마다 선택적으로 사용되었음을 확인하였다. 이에 본 연구는 STN-DBS를 받은 IPD 환자의 말 평가는 말 산출 하부 단계를 모두 반영하는 문맥발화 과제를 통일적으로 사용할 것을 제안한다.

Objectives and methods : The Euibujipsung is one of the huge-scale encyclopedias about Oriental Medicine. To search the most frequently used aupoints for dysarthria after stroke, we used Euibujipsung CD-ROM database with several chinese character keyword concerned with vernal function(語, 言, 音, 啞, 瘖, etc). Results : We found four popular acupoints(PC5, GV20, GV16, TE6), and five meridians (Governor vessel, Gall Bladder, Heart, Large Intestine and Triple Energizer). We also found that the extra meridians were used more frequently than other type of meridians. Conclusion : We think that these findings can give further ideas to clinical practice and research fields for stroke rehabilitation in Oriental medicine.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate disability of the patients after stroke, clinical applicability and usefulness of the FIM in evaluating the functional abilities and to assess the characteristics of the patients after stroke. And this study examined difference by predictive factors on the treatment outcome. METHOD The study was composed of 31 stroke patients who were within 1 week after stroke and had been treated in hospital more than 4 weeks. Improving rate was measured by using the Functional Independence Measure(FIM), and the correlation was analyzed between Motor FIM and Cognitive FIM. We analyzed significant meaning statistically in the mean value of FIM. RESULT 1. There was no significant meaning statistically in the mean value of FIM that was between both at admission and after 2 weeks. But there was proportional correlation between both at admission and after 4 weeks, and significant meaning statistically. 2. There was proportional correlation between both FIM and Motor FIM, and significant meaning statistically. But there was no significant meaning statistically between both FIM and Cognitive FIM. 3. There was no significant meaning statistically between both FIM and sex, age, side of weakness, stroke subtype, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, heart disease, starting point of rehabilitation therapy and past history of cerebral vascular accident. While dysarthria affected functional recovery in stroke patients, and significant meaning statistically. CONCLUSION 1. FIM appeared to be a valid and reliable method to measure the functional abilities of the patients after stroke. 2. Only one thing between Motor FIM and score didn't influence FIM score. 3. Dysarthria affected functional recovery in stroke patients, and it is the statistically significant factor.
