| Abstract |
Abstract Perceptual speech research in Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) has identified altered nasality as a key component of the dysarthria profile, however the incidence and severity of abnormal nasality remains unknown. Utilizing objective and perceptual methods, data on the relationship between resonance, disease duration, severity, age of onset and genetic profiles were collated. Thirty-seven participants with FRDA and 24 healthy controls provided contemporaneous speech samples for perceptual analysis, and single word samples for acoustic analysis. A subset of participants (eight participants with FRDA and eight controls) underwent nasometry assessment. Twenty-seven participants with FRDA presented with hypernasality and five with hyponasality on perceptual assessment. Acoustic analysis revealed participants with FRDA had greater nasality than controls (p < 0.05). Perceptual ratings of hypernasality correlated with GAA2 repeat length (ρ = 0.37, p = 0.03). Findings highlight the variability of nasality in FRDA, potentially reflecting variation in the neuropathological profile. Data also suggest the influence of genetic profiles on nasality. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 September 2014.
All research outputs
#19,942,887
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Multilingual Communication Disorders
#389
of 527 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#172,778
of 250,370 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Multilingual Communication Disorders
#7
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 527 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.7. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 250,370 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
