Nasal Airflow as an Index of Success of Prosthetic Management of Cleft Palate

Nasal Airflow as an Index of Success of Prosthetic Management of Cleft Palate

Nasal airflow measures, articulation test scores, breath-pressure ratios, and listener judgments were obtained for 30 prosthetically managed cleft-palate speakers and noncleft controls. Results indicate nasal airflow measures will not provide accurate prediction of velopharyngeal function, although...

Results indicate nasal airflow measures will not provide accurate prediction of velopharyngeal function, although they permit some gross differentiation.
