<p>The proposed method of restoring speech functions in patients suffering from various forms of dysarthria by carrying out in succession cosmetic massage operations on the face, point massage of biologically active points on the face, neck and collar region, hands and joints, joint-mimic gymnastics followed by voice exercises. The point massage is done successively by raising, pricking and stroking lasting about 1-5 seconds 3-5 times for 3-5 points, which is subsequently reversed and 1-2 points are added. Pair points are massaged by two probes simultaneously. The dysarthria probes for use in carrying out the method of restoring speech functions by reflex action on biologically active points comprise a shaft and a working section, the configuration being variable depending on the clinical profile of the patient, e.g. a ball, oval, two-prong unit or three-prong unit. The operating parts of the probes are made from ebonite, copper, titanium or stainless steel and may be capable of being dismantled.</p> |
