Application

It is widely used for linguistic and forensic research regarding numerous speech phenomena.

The Artickopfscanulograph is used for the assessment of speech motor behavior of individuals with Parkinson’s disease, apraxia, dysarthria, or functional speech motor problems as found in stuttering.

Non-articulatory research regards grasping movements as can be found in sign language
