U-tube manometer - Answer- -individual places tube in mouth to blow -measures pressure required to displace the water How does intraoral air pressure differ for a stop and/or fricative consonant vs. a vowel consonant? Which sound has intraoral pressure that is roughly equal to atmospheric pressure? - Answer- - It is highest for stops, elevated for fricatives and equal to atmospheric pressure for vowels subglottal pressure - Answer- - Pressure below the larynx - driving pressure for phon...

Dysarthria - A group of motor speech disorders characterized by weakness, slowness and/or lack of coordination of the speech musculature as a result of damage to the CNS/PNS, neurological damage resulting in disruption of the speech production processes (articulation, resonance, phonation, respiration, prosody). Six conditions associated with dysarthria: - 1. Cerebral palsy. 2. Stroke (CVA). 3. TBI 4. ALS 5. Parkinson's disease. 6. Multiple sclerosis.
