Assessing Oromotor Capacity in ALS: The Effect of a Fixed-Target Task on Lip Biomechanics

Assessing Oromotor Capacity in ALS: The Effect of a Fixed-Target Task on Lip Biomechanics

Alternating motion rate (AMR) is a standard measure often included in neurological examinations to assess orofacial neuromuscular integrity. AMR is typically derived from recordings of patients producing repetitions of a single syllable as fast and clear as possible on one breath. Because the task p...
