Abstract
Dysarthria is a frequent cause of handicap for patients with traumatic brain injury. Clinical assessment and quantification of the disorder is necessary before treatment. We report a perceptual analysis of speech in a population of 18 patients with traumatic brain injury, in comparison with 18 control subjects. Evaluation was provided with a 33-item clinical scale. Interjuge reliability was good. Speech analysis distinguished controls from patients. Main perceptual deviances were impairment of naturalness, prosodic and phonetic disturbances.
