Summary:The perceptual assessment of velopharyngeal function during speech presents some limitations due to its subjectivity. To propose a method for velopharyngeal function rating based on hypernasality, nasal air emission and compensatory articulation deficits scores. The proposed method shows several advantages in terms of clinical and research documentation and for an adequate follow-up of therapeutic and surgical outcomes.
