Effect of computer-assisted training on post-stroke dysarthria
Objective To compare the effect of routine speech training and computer-assisted training on post-stroke dysarthria.Methods From March,2021 to April,2023,72 patients with post-stroke dysarthria in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital were ran-domly divided into control group(n=36)and experimental group(n=36).Both groups received routine rehabili-tation,while the control group received routine speech training,and the experimental group received computer-assisted training,for four weeks.They were assessed with modified Frenchay Dysarthria Assessment(m-FDA)and Speech Intelligibility(SI)before and after intervention.Results Eight cases in the control group and one case in the experimental group dropped down.The scores of m-FDA and SI improved in both groups after treatment(|Z|>4.183,P<0.001),and there was no significant difference between two groups(|Z|<1.598,P>0.05).Noninferiority of m-FDA was found between two groups(|t|>3.656,P<0.001).Conclusion Computer-assisted training could improve the speech function of patients with post-stroke dysarthria,simi-lar to routine speech training.
