Abstract

The present study aim to provide normative data of articulatory performance in normal Chilean individuals. The normative values obtained can serve as reference values from Chilean speakers which the speech-language pathology community can use in clinical and academic practice. The five parameters defined in the diadochokinetic protocol in the Motor Speech Profile of the KayPentax program were used. The method employed in the study which obtained the reference values from America English speakers was also adopted in this study. Furthermore, a comparison between the English and Spanish studies was carried out. DDKcvp and DDKcvi showed similar behavior in both groups. The other parameters presented some differences. However, a normal range for all parameters was possible to obtain.
