Tracheoesophageal Puncture

Since its introduction by Blom and Singer in 1980, tracheoesophageal puncture with a voice prosthesis has become the most frequently recommended choice for speech rehabilitation of total laryngectomees. Many studies have reviewed the initial speech acquisition success rates following tracheoesophageal puncture; however, long-term follow-up in these initial successes has been lacking. In addition, factors predictive of long-term success with tracheoesophageal speech have not been defined. Over a 10-yearperiod, we retrospectively reviewed all total laryngectomy patients, including those who have undergone primary or secondary tracheoesophageal puncture, at the University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics and the Westside Veterans Administration Hospitals. Survival in the total laryngectomy cohort of 202 patients ranged from 35% to 50%. Forty of these patients underwent tracheoesophageal puncture, in whom survival was 75%. Short-term success with tracheoesophageal speech was approximately 70% for our patients, while long-term success was achieved in 66%. Despite low socioeconomic status and relatively high alcoholism rates, successful maintenance of tracheoesophageal speech was achieved in the majority of cases. Tracheoesophageal speech should therefore be considered as a primary method of vocal rehabilitation in all patients undergoing total laryngectomy.

Speech Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation of hearing and speech represents a theory that needs to be confirmed, and also the practice, also a process which is in continuous progress. It is simultaneously a science (research activity), the profession, school subject, issue, principle and method. Continuously be upgraded, and the search for new knowledge. Deaf and severely hearing-impaired people are often deprived from birth hearing and listening skills, and thus the ability to successfully speaking, standard, oral-vocal speech, language or hearing. In the absence of hearing, their psychological structure has been changed, so methods of learning that are used to hearing children, for them have no or have very small use. Therefore, the rehabilitation theory and practice need to seek for new methods, programming models, test materials, and researching the effectiveness of these methods in teaching speech and language skills of hearing impaired population. In this book, besides the general scientific, theoretical and practical regularity, related to the subject of Speech and Hearing Rehabilitation, are described the anatomical and physiological basis of auditory organs, and organs to speak, and the essential characteristics of the hearing impairment, ways of communications, education and rehabilitation in relation to general characteristics of hearing impaired persons. It describes the communication of the deaf and hard of hearing as a determinant of rehabilitation, rehabilitation of hearing as a determinant of learning speech and language, speech and language as a determinant of communication and speech-language education as a determinant of rehabilitation. The importance of programming in the rehabilitation of hearing and speech is highlighted, and new, paradigmatic-pragmatic methods in speech-language rehabilitation of the deaf and severely hard of hearing people is described. From a scientific point of view, programming of dynamic rehabilitation content, has or may have a direct scientific contribution to the psychological development of deaf and severely hearing-impaired population. By development of deaf person, the possibility of regulating the relation between a deaf person-society and vice versa is opened. The results of research of the use of programmed dynamic content in rehabilitation showed a significant movement to improve linguistic competence and quality in the communication of the deaf and severely hard of hearing people with hearing world. Dynamic methodological approaches in speech-language education of deaf and hearing-impaired children, it provides easier learning of all elements of speech and language, primarily phonology and morphology, and semantics, syntax, grammar and language of the hearing community.

Conscious Control

The article presents results of the research conducted in speech rehabilitation period of patients after stroke. The study aims to identify conscious control in speech rehabilitation period of the patients who were diagnosed to have Broca’s aphasia. A sample of 22 patients with Broca’s aphasia, or efferent motor aphasia (Luria, 2004) in the left hemisphere, who stayed at the Volyn Regional Clinical Hospital (Lutsk, Ukraine) during rehabilitation period, was approached through purposeful sampling method for this research. The non-laboratory measure of speech assessment was administered along with demographic data. Results showed that conscious control that usually remains in this group of people plays a crucial role in psychological intervention. The article also discusses the main neuropsycholinguistic principles that help to utilize the potential of conscious control in the process of speech rehabilitation of the patients after stroke.
