Abstract：Objective To investigate phonological characteristics and rehabilitation training approaches of bilabial consonant articula-tion disorders in patients after repaired cleft palate. Methods From January, 2012 to January, 2016, 51 patients with velopharyngeal incom-petence (VPI) and 57 patients with velopharyngeal competence (VPC) after cleft palate repaire were enrolled. Their phonological character-istics of bilabial consonants articulation disorders were analyzed. They accepted specific rehabilitation training. The correlation between bila-bial consonants articulation disorders and age was analyzed. Results/b/ showed mainly weak pressure in both VPI and VPC patients,/p/showed mainly weak pressure in VPI patients,/p/was mainly substituted by/b/in VPC patients. 46 cases were cured and 2 cases improved in VPI patients after 1-6 weeks of rehabilitation, and the overall cure rate was 90.20%(46/51), and was respectively 100%(13/13), 93.74%(15/16), 77.27%(17/22) in those with mild, moderate and severe disorder. 53 cases were cured and 4 cases improved in VPC patients after 1-5 weeks of rehabilitation, the overall cure rate was 92.98%(53/57), and was respectively 100%(17/17), 90.48%(19/21), 89.47%(17/19) in those with mild, moderate and severe disorder. The number of incorrect words negatively correlated with age in VPC patient (r=-1.000, P<0.001). Conclusion Bilabial consonant articulation disorders occurs mainly on/b/and/p/in patients repaired cleft palate,/b/shows main-ly weak pressure,/p/shows mainly weak pressure and substitution. Specific speech rehabilitation training is significantly effective.
