Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The goal of fluency shaping therapy to eliminate the severity of stuttering by adopting the specific pattern of speech production and also reduce negative reaction to stuttering by default).
Digital manipulation of thyroid cartilage decreases tension in vocal fold and reduces severity of stuttering and improves production of speech. DMT reduces unnecessary amount of tension in vocal tract and participant speaks with relax respiration,phonation, articulation and facilitate more fluent.in DMT subject speaks in natural way rather than in specific method in every situation.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Digital Manipulation
Digital manipulation of thyroid cartilage (DMT) Duration: Each child was given 15-20 minute session. Frequency: Twice in a week. Total 24 sessions were performed. The aim of DMT was to reduce the severity of stuttering and improve the fluency.
Digital Manipulation of Thyroid cartilage
Digital manipulation of thyroid cartilage was applied to the anterior aspect of thyroid cartilage while using the thumb or finger and the patient was asked to speak.
prolongation of vowel is 7 to 8 seconds, voice rest after each set is 10 second.
total repetition is 60.
fluency shaping Therapy
Fluency Shaping Therapy Duration:Each child was given 30-minute session. Fluency Shaping Therapy (FST) Frequency: Twice in a week Total 24 sessions were performed.
The aim of DMT was to reduce the severity of stuttering and improve the fluency
Fluency Shaping Therapy
FST session comprised of speech techniques such as prolongation of sounds, easy onset, continuous phonation, light articulatory contact, in reading and conversation in three speaking situations (speaking with therapist, reading aloud, and free conversation Reading task was for 80 short phrases.
combination Group
Combination Group (DMT+FST) Duration:Each subject was given 45-Minute session Frequency: Twice in a week Total 24 sessions were performed combination group was more significant option for reducing the severity of stuttering and improve fluency than practice the single DMT or FST
