MSDA - Dysarthria and apraxia diagnostics
A generic term for speech disorders caused by damage to the brain and nerves. The control and execution of the speech movement is limited despite organically intact organs of articulation.
With apraxia of the speech organs, the voluntary, organised and targeted movement is impaired with normal motor function. The most common cause is a stroke.

New study shows the clinical suitability of lingWAVES MSDA
The clinical suitability of the lingWAVES MSDA module was successfully tested in a study conducted by the Fresenius University of Applied Sciences in Idstein under the direction of Prof Dr Norina Lauer in 2013.
To the study
lingWAVES MSDA
The lingWAVES MSDA (Motor Speech Disorder Assessment) module is a modern, objective, easy-to-use and time-saving dysarthria apraxia screening procedure that has been developed for everyday use in the assessment of speech disorders.
lingWAVES MSDA is an objective test procedure for the assessment of verbal diadochokinesis (DDK ). In the test procedure, the patient records a repetitive word in as rapid a sequence as possible within a speech exhalation, whereby the articulation should also remain as clear as possible. The word (e.g. ‘buttercup’) contains sounds with a front-middle-back place of articulation.

The MSDA test window: After recording and marking the test area, comprehensive analyses are available within seconds. In addition to the diadochokinetic rate/syllable rate, information is available on speech fluency and speech energy (control of exhalation). Syllables with regard to articulation locations are evaluated in a differentiated manner.

MORE INFORMATION THANKS TO THE LATEST SPEECH TECHNOLOGY
Thanks to the latest speech technology, the lingWAVES MSDA module is able to recognise words and even syllables and use the resulting data for further differentiated evaluations of syllable articulation. This means that speech motor skills can also be evaluated more precisely in terms of articulation location (front-middle-back), a globally unique feature of the programme.
PROGRESS MONITORING
A special feature of lingWAVES MSDA is the progress documentation of various recordings. Here you can show, analyse and document the success of a treatment/therapy at a glance.
