Ultrason dil ve konuşma terapisi alanında popülerliği artan nispeten yeni bir klinik araçtır. Ultrason görsel geribildirim; konuşma, ses ve yutma bozukluklarının tarama, değerlendirme, tanılama ve müdahale sürecinde kullanılabilmektedir. Ultrason görsel geribildirim cerrahi işlem gerektirmemesi, gerçek zamanlı bir görüntü sağlaması, rahat bir pozisyonda kullanıma izin vermesi, farklı yaş gruplarında kullanılabilmesi, ağrısız ve taşınabilir olması gibi avantajları ile öne çıkmaktadır. Buna karşın gerek değerlendirme gerekse müdahale sürecinde uygulanışına dair evrensel bir görüşün olmaması ultrasonun kullanımına dair belirsizliklere neden olmaktadır. Bu bağlamda literatürdeki çalışmalardan hareketle mevcut çalışmada, ultrasonun görsel geribildirim amacıyla dil ve konuşma terapisi alanında klinik ve teorik olarak kullanımına ilişkin bilgiler sunulmaktadır.

The Role of Ultrasound in Speech and Language Therapy: A Review Study

https://izlik.org/JA26XE74UE

Öz

Ultrasound is a relatively new clinical tool that is becoming increasingly popular in the field of speech-language therapy. Using ultrasound as visual feedback can be utilised in screening, assessing, diagnosing, and intervening speech, voice, and swallowing disorders. Ultrasound visual feedback stands out with its advantages such as not requiring a surgical procedure, providing a real-time image, allowing use in a comfortable position, can be used in different age groups, painless and portable. However, the lack of a universal opinion on its application in both the evaluation and intervention process causes uncertainties regarding the use of ultrasound. In this context, based on the studies in the literature, this study presents information on the clinical and theoretical use of ultrasound visual feedback methods in speech and language therapy.
