Abstract
Authors – Popat H, Richmond S, Playle R, Marshall D, Rosin PL, Cosker D Objectives – To investigate the reproducibility of using spoken word as a measure of facial movement. Design – Experimental study. Setting and Sample Population – Department of Dental Health and Biological Sciences, University Dental Hospital, Cardiff. 22 normal subjects. Experimental Variable – Subjects were asked to say the word ‘puppy’ in a normal, relaxed manner twice within a 10-second time interval. The sequence was recorded using a non-invasive, three-dimensional motion analysis image capture system (3DMDface™ Dynamic System) at 48 frames per second. Outcome Variable – Corresponding frames between the two utterances were aligned three-dimensionally using best fit on non-moveable points on the upper half of the face. Reproducibility was measured as the percentage point deviation between ± 0.5 mm between two corresponding frames. Results – Mean intrasessional reproducibility (SD) for the group was recorded at 86.2% (5.8). The reproducibility ranged from a minimum of 66.8% to a maximum of 97.5%. When the utterance was split into its two separate viseme segments (/p//u//p/ and /p//y/), the second part of the utterance was seen to be more reproducible than the first. The male group were more reproducible than the female group. Conclusion – Intrasessional reproducibility of the utterance ‘puppy’ shows high intra- and intersubject variability in this group of normal subjects and therefore further research needs to be conducted before being able to confidently use this word as a reproducible measure of facial movement.
