title: Interventions in aphasia: an integrative review

description: ABSTRACT This review aims to identify, evaluate and discuss articles on aphasia interventions and therapeutic advances, published in scientific journals in the last five years. An integrative review was performed on databases SciELO, LILACS, CAPES and PubMed, with the descriptors in English and Portuguese: aphasia, rehabilitation and treatment. It was included articles describing aphasia treatment or rehabilitation case studies, published in English or Portuguese. The studies that met the criteria were read and analyzed according to an integrative review protocol, and then categorized. From the 96 studies found 26 were included in the review. It was observed a predominance of quantitative studies. Several studies that tested therapies showed positive results, confirming that aphasia is a condition that responds to a wide variety of treatments. Investigations focused on brain activation demonstrated significant correlations between patients' improvement and brain activation of language areas. It was found that aphasia treatments description did not indicate a superior therapeutic approach compared to another. Most studies did not present good degree of external generality, indicating the need for controlled studies with more representative samples. The current literature should support the actions of the professionals, nevertheless professionals should be alert to the characteristics and limitations of the protocols tested.

title: Therapy vocal and nasal sounds: effects on hyperfunctional dysphonia

description: ABSTRACT We sought to verify the effects of a phonotherapy program that included vocal and postural orientation, adequacy of respiratory function and the technique of nasal sounds in hyperfunctional dysphonia. We carried out a clinical case, observational, longitudinal, non-controlled study with quantitative approach that analyzed three female subjects with mean age of 31.33 years who presented hyperfunctional dysphonia. The subjects were submitted to: laryngoscopy, vocal, perceptive-auditory and acoustic assessments, collection of maximum phonation time, postural screening and determination of the respiratory tract during speech before and after a therapeutic program which consisted of orientation, awareness and vocal training with nasal sounds during 16 speech therapy sessions, once a week with training at home. The data were analyzed by using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney and Chi-square, with 5% significance level. Post-therapy, we observed that the posture passed from aligned and misaligned and the respiratory type from the upper to the costodiaphragmatic-abdominal; there was a decrease of the acoustic measurements in relation to the degree and to the number of subharmonics in most subjects, besides tissue improvements and reduction of edema in the mucosa of the vocal folds and arytenoid region, as well as glottal closure improvement. After performing the phonotherapy program with vocal and postural orientation, adequacy of respiratory function and use of the technique of nasal sounds in hyperfunctional dysphonia, we observed significant improvement in body posture, the respiratory tract, the acoustic measurements suggestive of noise to vocal emission and positive effects on the tissue and the closure of the vocal folds.

title: Speech therapy in sclerosis systemic: a case report

description: ABSTRACT Systemic sclerosis is a rare, progressive of unknown etiology and variable evolution, autoimmune rheumatic connective tissue disease. It reaches vital organs and perioral tissues, causing limitation of mouth opening, hypertonia of the phonoarticulatory organs, face with the appearance of a mask, difficulty in chewing and swallowing. Aiming to compare the pre and post miofuncional orofacial intervention in subjects with systemic sclerosis, it was performed a quali quantitative exploratory clinical study in the Rheumatology department of the University Hospital and in the School Clinic of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences of the Federal University of Sergipe (UFS), from July/2012 to December/2013. The sample consisted of five individuals, of both genders, aged between 24 and 60 years and with confirmed medical diagnosis of that condition. The subjects underwent through evaluation by MBGR protocol and 36 sessions of speech therapy (myofunctional and myotheray). At the end, the initial and final results were compared from the clinical indicators worked. After analyzing the results obtained, improvements in all aspects were observed. The previous Speech Therapy evaluation revealed restriction of mouth opening in all subjects and the final results presented gains between 5.3 and 14.2mm of opening (average: 9.26). Regarding muscle tonus, mobility of the phonoarticulatory organs and orofacial dormancy, improvements and evidences of adequacy of oral functions were observed. It can be concluded that, although some patients still show changes, the rehabilitation promoted significant improvements in the clinical condition and quality of life of the individuals of the study group.

title: Phonological disorders treatment effect with a stimulability and segment complexity strata model with speech intervention software (SIFALA)

description: ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the effect of the Strata Model based on Stimulability and Segment Complexity combined with the use of Speech Intervention Software on phonological disorders treatment. A case study was conducted with four subjects aged between 4:10 and 6:7, both males and females, with phonological disorders. All subjects were assessed for phonological system, stimulability, stomatognathic system and hearing screening. The therapeutic model was based on a mixed approach, wherein different models, procedures and strategies were combined, adapted and created. Each subject was treated with one of the four strata proposed in the model. The use of Speech Intervention Software was aimed at motivating the children by means of an interactive, lively and playful code. An analysis was made of data on subjects' phonological system and number of correctly produced consonants, both before and after therapy. The Chi-square test was used with a level of significance at 5% (p&lt; 0.05). There were changes in the sound system for all treated subjects: segments were established in their phonetic inventory and acquired in their phonological system. The subjects treated by the strata that were focused on greater complexity of the Implicational Model of Feature Complexity showed more therapeutic improvement. However, because there was a reduced number of subjects, greater effectiveness cannot be attributed to any of the strata at this point. In conclusion, the Model and the use of Speech Intervention Software had a positive effect, contributing to the planning and treatment of phonological speech disorders. However, further studies should be conducted with larger samples to confirm the findings.

title: Ultrasound images of the tongue prior and post speech therapy

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to analyze the ultrasound imaging of the tongue movement during the production of alveolar and velar stops, before and after speech therapy. A boy of a five year old and with Speech Disorder participated in this study. Were collected the articulatory data (ultrasound imaging of the tongue movement) and perceptive hearing of [t], [d], [k] and [g], before and after the 25 speech therapy sessions. Regarding results obtained in pre-therapy moment, when observing the three repetitions of the tongue curve of velar stops, a gestural indifferentiation was apparently detected, suggesting the presence of a dependency between the organizers of tip and body of the tongue. In the after therapy, a change in the tracing of the tongue gesture of [k] and [g] was verified. They started presenting a posteriorization of the tongue movement, synchronously with a rise in its body, as the adult standard. Thus, ultrasonographic findings were able to show a possible overcoming of the anteriorization stop velar, detected in the first perceptual speech analysis. In addition, these results seemed to reinforce the idea of covert contrasts in the speech of children with speech disorders.

title: The aphasia therapeutic process: implications of enunciative-discursive neurolinguistics

description: ABSTRACT Enunciative-Discursive Neurolinguistics aims to investigate the relationship between language and brain considering the sociohistorical and cultural context in which the subject is immersed. In this perspective, speech and language therapy for aphasias proposes situations where aphasic patients can experience the reversibility of the discursive role inherent to the social use of language. The aim of this paper is to present linguistic strategies used by an aphasic subject (case study) during the therapeutic process in a Speech and Language Clinic of a private Brazilian university, illustrating practical examples of the Enunciative-Discursive Neurolinguistics assumptions. Therapy sessions were recorded and analyzed under an enunciative-discursive aspect and underpinned by the Literacy theory. Thus, clinical episodes were based on interactive situations related to the subject's historical context. Analysis showed that, during the dialogical interaction, the subject used not only the verbal modality to achieve an effective communication, but he also used gestures and other semiotic resources. In addition, it was observed that not only the subject's position in the interaction was important to the construction of his enunciation, but also the listener/therapist's stance (attention and responsive attitude) interferes collaboratively on subject/patient's enunciation chain. The conclusion is that the use of intersubjective activities as well as the consideration of verbal and nonverbal strategies during the interaction may expand aphasic patients' discursive linguistics possibilities since they are placed, in the interaction, as a discourse subject, therefore, able to act upon language.

title: Noise and quality of life in the perspective of gas station workers

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to evaluate the understanding of noise and the perception about quality of life of gas station workers. Methods: this is an exploratory study with a sample of 32 employees, of both sexes from three gas stations of a country town in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Data were collected during the activities allusive to the International Noise Awareness Day, in April 2015, by a questionnaire on noise and hearing health and by the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-Bref). Results: most workers reported not having a hearing loss, discomfort or pain when subjected to noise. However, they believe that exposure to noise can lead to hearing loss as well as tinnitus and dizziness. The working environment was indicated as noisy, but the workers do not perceive themselves as noise producers and do not adopt preventive measures. Concerning the quality of life, the lowest score was for the environmental domain, in both sexes and age equal and less than 30 years. Conclusion: the study allowed to understand that the majority of workers does not have significant knowledge about the need for protective measures against noise; also showed that the environmental domain was the most compromised in the perception of employees on quality of life.

title: Alimentary difficulties in cerebral palsy: proposal of a protocol

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to propose a protocol able to analyze both the sensibility as oral motor function in feeding for patients with cerebral palsy. Methods: a selection of sensibility and oral motor function evaluation protocols was done. Then four speech-language pathologists developed tasks of the protocol for the analysis of alimentary difficulties. After its elaboration, the protocol was critically analyzed by nine speech-language pathologists with experience in orofacial motricity and care of patients with cerebral palsy, and one nutritionist. A consensual analysis was made among the authors of the protocol about the permanence or removal of the tasks following the 0.7 criterion of agreement among the judges. After this analysis, the protocol was applied in three individuals with cerebral palsy, one with feeding difficulty complaint and two without complaint. Results: after the judges' analysis, 100% of them agreed with the most of the tasks established in the protocol, the proposed suggestions were changes in nomenclature and of some foods used in some tasks, for a detailed test, and the possibility of the observation in the chewing function. Conclusion: it was proposed the "Protocolo de Rastreio de Dificuldades Alimentares", a screening tool of alimentary difficulties for individuals with cerebral palsy.
