                | Objective:To study the characteristics of children with functional dysarthria pronouncing consonants among different ages,to understand whether they will be improved or cured along with age.Methods:The dysarthria examination scale from China Rehabilitation Research Center was applied in this study.Based on the different pronouncing parts,the constant pronunciations were clustered to six groups (i.e. labial consonant; supradental consonant;blade-alveolar consonant;blade-palatal consonant;lingua-palatal consonant;velar consonant);the children with functional dysarthria were divided into three age groups.The ratio of children pronouncing constants incorrectly and correctly was analyzed. Results: For the rate of pronouncing constants incorrectly among 90 cases,there was no statistically significant difference among four-year,five-year and older than six years groups. For the analysis of six pronouncing parts,the statistical significance was only found in pronouncing blade-palatal consonant among three age groups (P=0.018),and the rest five pronouncing parts did not have statistically significant difference. Conclusion: The symptoms will not be improved or cured naturally with age. Immediate treatment should be conducted once the diagnosis of functional dysarthria is made. |
