Phonetic intelligibility testing in dysarthria for the use of French language clinicians.
Reduced intelligibility is a common characteristic of dysarthria. The object of this paper is to propose a word intelligibility test for the assessment of intelligibility in French language dysarthric speakers. Based on a phonetic intelligibility test previously developed for English by Kent et al. (1989), this test not only measures dysarthric severity but also serves to identify the intelligibility deficits.
