Pressure-flow measurements for selected oral and nasal sound segments produced by normal adults.
TL;DR: An aerodynamic categorization scheme of velopharyngeal function, including one typical category and three atypical categories (open, closed, and mixed) is proposed.

Changes in speech following maxillary distraction osteogenesis.
TL;DR: In a predominately cleft palate population, the risk for velopharyngeal insufficiency following maxillary distraction is similar to the risk observed in Le Fort I maxillary advancement.
103
Evaluation of cleft palate speech.
TL;DR: The primary role of the speech pathologist on the cleft palate/craniofacial team is to evaluate whether deviations in oral cavity structures, such as the velopharynx, negatively impact speech production.

Mandibular distraction osteogenesis: effects on articulation and velopharyngeal function.
TL;DR: Two patients who experienced changes in their articulation and velopharyngeal function after unilateral mandibular distraction are described; one patient recovered near-normal velopHaryngeAl function within 1 month after distraction and the second patient recovered function within 8 months.
31
Pressure-Flow Differences in Performance During Production of the CV Syllables /pi/ and /pa/
TL;DR: The velopharyngeal incompetence observed during utterances involving /i/ may have been due to the downward pull on the palate of the palatoglossus muscle, which could not be counteracted by the already maximized levator activity in borderline patients.
