Kinematic Analysis of Lip Closure in Stutterers' Fluent Speech.

McClean, Michael D.; And Others

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v33 n4 p755-60 Dec 1990

Analysis of lip and jaw motion in 18 stutterers and 10 nonstutterers found that adult stutterers who had been through speech therapy showed significant increases in jaw movement duration and time to peak velocity of the upper lip, lower lip, and jaw. Results suggest that anomalies in stutterers' fluent speech may be the result of acquired adjustments. (Author/DB)
