An ultrasound protocol for comparing tongue contours: upright vs. supine

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

Abstract

A study is described that employs ultrasound to measure the effects of gravity on production of vowels. The materials are designed to encourage consistent production over repetitions. A recording and analysis protocol is described which allows for correction for probe movement or rejection of data where correction is not possible. Results indicate a slight superior and posterior displacement of the
tongue root in supine posture, consistent with a shift in the support structure of the tongue.
