The Research About Breathing Patterns And Other Related Factors Which Affect The Pitch Of Children With Spastic Cerebral Palsy

Firstly, the research was purposed to compare the pitch characteristic of children with spastic cerebral palsy and normal childrenin school age, the results are as follows:(1) The MSFo of children with spastic cerebral palsy is significantly higher than normal children in (P<0.05), the FoSD is extremely significant higher than normal children (P <0.01). (2)As age increases, both MSFoand FoSD are significantly decreased (P <0.05). (3)There is no significant difference in MSFo and FoSD between girls and boys in school age (P> 0.05).Secondly, through the analysis for the different breathing patterns and related factors which affect the pitch of children with spastic cerebral palsy, we can conclude:(1) The MSFo in Chest breath group is significantly higher than Non-chest breath group(P<0.05). (2) The MSFo of fast speech speed is significantly higher thanthe MSFo of normal speech speed(P<0.05);The MSFo of slow speech speed is higher thanthe MSFo of normal speech speed. (3)The MSFo of high vowels (/i/;/u/;/u/) is higher than the low vowels (/a/;/o/;/e/). (4) The MSFoof interrogative sentence is significantly higher than imperative sentence(P<0.05);The MSFo of imperative sentence is extremely significantly higher than declarative sentence(P<0.01).(5)The effect of visual cue to MSFo is not significant,but the effect of auditory cue to MSFo is significant (P<0.05),the effect of integration of audio-visualto MSFo is extremely significant (P<0.01).Conclusion:there exists pitch problems in spastic cerebral palsy children. We should follow the basic principles:adjust the breath patterns, low to high, less to more, medium speed best.
