Abstract:
Objective To explore the correlation between speech fluency and diadochokinetic rate in children aged 7～11 years with cochlear implant.Methods Speech samples were collected from 62 children aged 7～11 years with cochlear implant using language retelling task and diadochokinetic rate test task.Their speech rate,articulation rate,syllable duration and pause duration were analyzed.The data were input into ICF converter to obtain the im-pairment limit of each parameter and analyze the speech fluency and diadochokinetic rate characteristics.Partial cor-relation analysis was performed for speech rate,articulation rate,syllable duration and pause duration by two tasks.Results ① For children with cochlear implant,the mean ICF impairment limit of diadochokinetic rate was 1.3± 0.1,the mean ICF impairment limit of fluency in retelling was 1.0±0.3,with various degree of impairment in both tasks.② There was a moderate or low correlation between speech rate,articulation rate,syllable duration in retell-ing task and those in diadochokinetic rate task(0.3＜|r |≤0.8).There was a low correlation between pause dura-tion in retelling task and speech rate and pause duration in diadochokinetic rate task(0.3＜|r |≤0.5).Conclusion The speech fluency and diadochokinetic rate of children aged 7～11 years with cochlear implant is underdeveloped,and the poor articulation movement ability limits their development of speech fluency.
