For the normative study: 150 individuals of Malay descent (e.g., Boyanese, Javanese, Banjarese, Bugis, and Indonesian extract) and 150 bilingual Chinese individuals. Another 35 speech-language therapists and carers of dysarthric pateints will be recruited. Inclusion criteria for healthy adults in the normative study, as well as SLTs and caregivers of individuals with dysarthria in the implementation study are as follows: (1) Adults aged 21-79 years who are Singapore citizens, (2)absence of severe systemic conditions, including uncontrolled diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, head and neck tumours, or neurological disorders, (3) not currently undergoing radiation therapy or chemotherapy, (4) normal or corrected-to-normal vision and hearing, (5) fluent in Malay/ English respectively, (6) no history of speech difficulties/disorders. Additional inclusion criteria for SLTs are: (1) AHPC licensed and (2) have been practising in Singapore for at least one year.
35 individuals with neurogenic dysarthria will be recruited. For the implementation study, inclusion criteria for participants with dysarthria include (1) to (5) above, with the exception of a history of stroke, and being diagnosed with an acquired speech sound disorder by an SLT. Exclusion criteria include (1) individuals who are dependent on non-oral feeding, (2) individuals unable to provide informed consent due to cognitive impairment. Written or digital consent will be obtained from all participants prior to participation.
Behavioral: Feasibility and user acceptance of mobile app for oral motor training
Feasibility Study: Participants wi l first complete a demographic form that collects information such as age, occupation, gender, housing type, and dental history. This study will be conducted in a controlled environment, such as a quiet room at SIT, clinics, and participants' homes, under the guidance of SLT students. Participants wi l complete three 4-item measures of implementation outcomes - Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM), Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM), and Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM; Weiner et al., 2017). Subsequently, they will be given 30 minutes to explore and experiment with the app's different features. Following this, participants will complete the AIM, IAM, and FIM again, as well as participate in a semi-structured interview with the SLT student on their experience using the app and feedback about the app. The app wil be available in Mandarin (Simplified) and English.
Range of movement of the articulators
The range of movement of lips, tongue, and jaw of the participants will be analyzed by the computer vision model of ORAR to give range-of-motion scores.
Time frame: 2-hr assessment
Maximum phonation time
Each participant will be asked to take a deep breathe and say 'ah' as long as they can. This will repeat for 3 times.
Time frame: 2-hr assessment
Diadochokinetic (DDK) rate
The number of repeated syllables, trisyllabic non-word, trisyllabic Malay real word (only for Malay participants), trisyllabic English real word produced in 8 seconds will be measured.
Time frame: 2-hr assessment
Reading aloud a word list
Participants will be asked to read aloud a word list covering phonetic inventory of the language and multisyllabic words (English: 38 words from Robertson Dysarthria Profile; Malay: 30 words selected from Malay Lexicon Project).
Time frame: 2-hr assessment
Personal narrative production
Participants will be asked to recall a personal event.
Time frame: 2-hr assessment
Verbal fluency tasks
Participants will be asked to produce as many items in a given category (e.g., fruits, vehicles) within a minute.
Time frame: 2-hr assessment
Acceptability, appropriateness and feasibility of ORAR
A semi-structured interview will be conducted. Questions regarding the acceptability, apropriateness and feasibility of ORAR app will be asked.
Time frame: 2-hr assessment
Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) questionnaire as a self-reported outcome instrument on swallowing functions
The questionnaire consists of 10 questions, and participants will be asked to evaluate their swallowing functions based on a 5-point Likert scale (0=not at all; 4=very much). Lower scores reflect better swallowing performance. Maximum and minimal scores are 40 and 0, respectively.
Time frame: 2-hr assessment
The Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire to assess oral health-related quality of life
Participants will be asked to give ratings on the questionnaire based on a 5-point Likert scale. Lower scores represent better oral condition-related quality of life. The maximum and minimum scores are 56 and 0, respectively.
Time frame: 2-hr assessment
Plan to share: Yes — The IPD, together with the study protocol, will be shared in an open-access data repository (e.g., OSF).
Supporting information: Study protocol, Informed consent form
Time frame: Data will be shared starting from three months after manuscript publication.
Access criteria: The IPD and study protocol will be shared in an open-access data repository without restrictions.
Started Feb 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Aug 2028, 30 months after the start.
Of 835 non-industry observational studies under Stroke, half reached primary completion within 41 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 92. This study's planned 30 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 897 studies reached it within 40 months; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 85.
