Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a musical speech stimulation (MUSTIM)-based therapy on the sentence fluency of non-fluent aphasics. To investigate, the study administered a session to each of the three non-fluent aphasic participants over a total of 16, 40-minute sessions twice per week. To measure speech fluency, the investigator collected acoustic data using the praat program. Analysis revealed that the number of accumulated syllables produced increased from an average of 7 in the first session to an average of 188 in the last session; success rate of speech with a mean of 84%. Additionally, reaction time decreased from a mean of 2.3476 seconds in the first session to 0.6983 seconds in the final session. Results also revealed that participants were able to speak more syllables at similar speeds leading researchers to believe that a MUSTIM can be useful for increasing sentence fluency of non-fluent aphasics.
