Condition:
Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Speech Disorders

Mouth Neoplasms
Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck
Speech Disorders
Conditions: Keywords:

Intervention:
Intervention type:

Intervention name:
Electromagnetic Articulography
Description:
Motion tracking sensors will track articulatory movements of the tongue, jaw and lips
Arm group label:
Control speakers
Arm group label:
Individuals treated for oral cancer
Summary:
The goal of this longitudinal study is to learn more about the articulatory consequences
of surgical oral cancer treatment. The main aims are to study the coordination and
development of speech articulation of patients who will undergo surgical treatment for
oral cancer longitudinally and whether individual differences in the reliance on auditory
or tactile information can predict the success of speech compensatory strategies.
Participants will perform multiple speech tasks while motion tracking sensors track the
articulatory gestures.
Criteria for eligibility:
Study pop:
Adults with and without oral cancer who speak Dutch as their native language
Sampling method:
Non-Probability Sample
