Abstract

Dysarthria is a group of nerological speech disorder, which occurred in about 20%-30% after stroke, or 10%-60% after traumatic brain injury. The assessment of speech intelligibility is a necessary part of the evaluation of dysarthria, which can be used to communicate the patients' condition with their relations, and also in treatment planning, evaluating the communication performance and the treatment effects. The methods used to assess intelligibility can be divided into two groups: scaling methods and item identification methods. They are also divided into non-standard and standard methods based on whether a standard assessment or not. Scaling methods include interval scales, Direct Magnitude Estimation (DME), Speech Sample Pairs Scaling, Percentage Estimates, and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), etc. The item identification methods mainly include: Word Intelligibility Test, Chinese Speech Intelligibility Test, Chinese Speech Intelligibility Test Character List, Chinese Articulation Ability Test Word List, Sentence Intelligibility Test, Assessment of Intelligibility in Dysarthric Speakers (AIDS) and Speech Intelligibility Test (SIT) software. Among them, AIDS and SIT softwares are comprehensively standardized assessments. There are few methods can be used in China. The literatures on intelligibility assessment in the past ten years were reviewed.

Key words： dysarthria; speech intelligibility; comprehensibility; assessment; review
