title: [Oral and laryngeal diadochokinesia in post cerebrovascular accident patients].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The importance of oral and laryngeal diadochokinesia as an assessment instrument of the motor control in neurological cases.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To relate the findings of oral and laryngeal diadochokinesia assessment with the data of oral motricity and vocal quality in patients with post cerebrovascular accident.
  
  
  METHODS
  Perceptive-auditory and acoustic analyses were made as well as the assessment of oral and laryngeal diadochokinesia and of the mobility/motricity of the lips and tongue.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The diadochokinesia of the "a" demonstrated to be related to the mobility/motricity of the lips and tongue, whereas the production of "pataka" demonstrated to be related only with the tongue.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results indicate the presence of correlations between oral and laryngeal motor control in these patients.
