Abstract:

Introduction: Speech Motor Control includes the planning, preparation and execution of movement plans to result in muscle contractions and displacement of structures. In this perspective, the non-verbal-stimulation of the Praxis Speech is a theory that aims to improve the orofacial system for use in Speech. Objective: Stimulate Non-Verbal-Praxis of lips and tongue in adults to promote excellence in articulation pattern. Resumed Report: participated in this project 8 adults, mean age of 43.5 years. Speech therapy evaluation was performed with a test scores with orofacial praxis and evaluation and Speech Fluency, with specific text recording to control the Speech patterns. 8 subjects were instructed to perform exercises in sequence of lips and tongue for 60 consecutive days, for 5 minutes and 3 reps a day, and performed weekly speech therapy sessions. At the end of 60 days, participants were reassessed. 5 subjects showed improvement in the test of oral praxis, with score increased by more than 10 points, which featured greater coordination of the muscles involved. The default Speech was marked by increasing speed in reading, improved speech coordination, articulation more precise and clients perceptions. Conclusion: The Stimulation may have contributed to the pattern improves articulation of speech of these adults subjects. This work can opens up the possibility of a more comprehensive work with adults speakers, where the coordination of orofacial structures can enable the best possible muscular performance. This study suggests that the exercise of praxis skills can minimize nonverbal speech disorders.
