Abstract

Background: The purpose of this study was to prepare the initial version of the dysarthria test in Farsi-speaking adults so that it can be used to diagnose a person with dysarthria. Methods: 7 subtests were provided, including reflex, respiration, lips, jaw, palate, laryngeal, and tongue, that covered the anatomy and function of speech articulators like another test. The subtest content validity was calculated according to the comments of 10 SLPs. The developed test assessed two hundred normal adults who speak Persian. Results: Based on the opinion of speech and language pathologists and CVR calculation, the present test has face and content validity. Means and standard deviations were presented in two age groups. Two age groups had significant differences in reflexes (drinking water and eating biscuits) and larynx. Conclusion: In this study, a test was prepared that can currently be used to determine whether people have dysarthria or not. © 2024, Bemani et al.
