OBJECTIVE: To determine whether children with repaired cleft palate and adequate velopharyngeal closure exhibit abrupt laryngeal engagement during stop plosive-vowel transitions as compared with children without cleft palate.
DESIGN: A prospective group design was used with convenience sampling of patients at a university craniofacial center.
PARTICIPANTS: PARTICIPANTS were 25 children (15 boys, 10 girls) with repaired cleft palate (mean age = 10.9 years, standard deviation = 1.5 years) and 20 children (10 boys, 10 girls) without cleft palate (mean age = 10.8 years, standard deviation = 1.8 years). All children with cleft palate had adequate velopharyngeal closure as determined by aerodynamic testing.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: (1) Peak oral airflow was determined during the release of /t/ in the word "two" during a counting task. (2) An index of laryngeal engagement defined as the ratio of the maximum oral airflow declination to peak oral airflow was calculated during the release of /t/. (3) Sound pressure level was determined during the vowel of the word "two."
RESULTS: Children with cleft palate exhibited significantly more negative laryngeal engagement ratios (i.e., more abrupt adduction) (P = .002) and greater sound pressure level (P = .049) than controls. There was a significant negative relationship between laryngeal engagement and sound pressure level for all children (r = -.428, P = .003).
CONCLUSIONS: Children with repaired cleft palate and adequate velopharyngeal function appear to use a strategy of abrupt laryngeal adduction during stop plosive-vowel transitions. This strategy-perhaps learned even prior to palate surgery-may help to achieve either adequate sound pressure level and/or velopharyngeal closure.
