Möbius sequence is a rare condition where affected cranial nervesoften lead to speech deviations due to reduced oral motor functioning. Thisstudy aimed to survey speech deviations, compensatory strategies and selfperceptionof speech in seven people with Möbius sequence, and to linkthese to oral motor function and intelligibility. Additionally, the immediateeffects of smile surgery were investigated in one person. The abovementioneddomains were studied instrumentally, perceptually and throughstructured interviewing. All participants displayed reduced oral motorfunction. Five displayed speech deviations and three of these had severelyreduced intelligibility. Greater effects on cranial nerves lead to greaterdifficulties in speech and oral motor functioning. Bilateral facial palsy meantgreater speech deviations. Reduced lip and/or tongue function lead toeffected production of lip and/or tongue sounds. When this wasn?t the case,the reason is assumed to be use of compensatory strategies. It?s important todevelop effective compensatory strategies to increase intelligibility anddecrease possible participation restraint.
