本文研究将基于节奏的界面从手部康复改编至言语治疗，通过手指敲击控制合成语音，利用手势与言语的认知协同，经访谈和试点测试发现其能提升动机和治疗效果。
AI 中文摘要
本文考察了一种原本为手部灵活性康复设计的基于节奏的界面在言语治疗中的适应性应用。该界面允许用户通过手指敲击来控制合成的语音短语，利用了手势与言语之间的认知联系。通过对四位治疗师的访谈，以及一位言语治疗师和八名有言语障碍（自闭症、唐氏综合征、言语失用症、阅读障碍）儿童的试点测试，我们发现该界面通过促进言语困难患者与治疗师之间更多的互动，提高了动机和治疗效果。我们的研究结果表明，节奏性手势可以增强言语沟通，为更广泛的治疗和教育应用提供了潜力。
英文摘要
This paper examines the adaptation of a rhythm-based interface, originally designed for manual dexterity rehabilitation, for use in speech therapy. The interface allows users to control synthesized vocal phrases through finger tapping, leveraging the cognitive link between gesture and speech. Through interviews with four therapists and pilot tests with one speech therapist and eight children with speech impairments (autism, Down syndrome, verbal apraxia, dyslexia), we found that the interface improves motivation and therapeutic outcomes by facilitating more interactions between verbally challenged patients and the therapist. Our findings suggest that rhythmic gestures can enhance verbal communication, offering potential for broader therapeutic and educational applications.
