This study investigated the effect of SpeechEasy® on attitudes, emotions and coping behaviors after a short period of usage. Nine individuals who stutter were fitted with the SpeechEasy® and used the device for at least 4h/day during a period of less than 2 months. Before and after this period spontaneous speech samples were collected and attitudes, emotions and coping behaviors were assessed by means of the Behavior Assessment Battery (Brutten & Vanryckeghem, 2003b) and the adult form of the Communication Attitude Test (Vanryckeghem & Brutten, 2011). Results indicate that after a short time using the SpeechEasy® some people who stutter may to some extent show an amelioration of the negative attitudes, emotions and coping behaviors that usually accompany the stuttering. However, self-reported changes in attitudes, emotions and coping behaviors do not necessarily reflect objective fluency scores and there seems to be considerable individual variation in reaction the SpeechEasy®.

Vestibular asymmetry increases double support time variability in a counter-balanced study on elderly fallers
Publication date: March 2016
Source:Gait & Posture, Volume 45
Author(s): Johan Larsson, Michael Miller, Eva Ekvall Hansson
Vestibular asymmetry is a common cause of dizziness in the elderly, for whom it precipitates the risk of falling. Previous studies have shown that those with vestibular asymmetry displayed an altered variability in double support time (DST) compared to controls. However, swing time (SwT) variability findings are conflicting. In this study, we investigated if vestibular asymmetry might be causally connected to increased DST variability. We studied a group of eight elderly fallers with wrist fractures across three months, during which time four of them regained vestibular symmetry while four others developed an asymmetry. We evaluated the variability of DST and SwT, both when the participants suffered from vestibular asymmetry and when they did not. On average, variability in DST was significantly greater by 2.38 %CV (coefficient of variation) when participants scored positive for vestibular asymmetry compared to when not, t(5)=4.39, p=0.01, ξ=1.67. In contrast, SwT variability differed non-significantly by 0.44 %CV when participants had tested positive versus negative for vestibular asymmetry, t(5)=−0.87, p=0.39, ξ=−0.29. As a possible rationale for our results, we propose that increased DST variability may be the result of a re-stabilization strategy. Further research on DST variability and its correlation to the duration of vestibular asymmetry is recommended.
