Abstract:

Objective To analyze the hotspots and development trends in the international field of apraxia of speech (AOS).

Methods Relevant literature on AOS was retrieved in the Web of Science Core Collection database from January, 2004 to December, 2023, and was analyzed with CiteSpace 6.2 R.

Results A total of 893 articles were included, with a fluctuating upward trend in publication volume. The United States and Australia exhibited significant influence in the field of AOS research. Mayo Clinic and the University of Sydney showed high centrality in the network, while Joseph R Duffy ranked among the top authors in terms of publication volume. Over the past five years, research hotspots mainly focused on Parkinson's disease, the classification of AOS, and studies on treatment intensity.

Conclusion The research interest in AOS is on the rise. Significant progress has been made in areas such as neuroimaging, clinical acoustic assessment and articulatory-phonetic intervention. Further exploration is needed in the pathological mechanisms and treatment methods of AOS.
