|January 1, 1980
Summary
Phonetogram analysis showed significant improvements in voice function range, loudness, and phonatory area after phoniatric treatment and voice therapy. These findings offer insights into voice disorder pathophysiology.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Speech-Language Pathology
- Acoustic Analysis
Context:
- Voice disorders impact millions globally, affecting communication and quality of life.
- Phoniatric treatment, including functional voice therapy, is a common approach for managing voice disorders.
- Objective acoustic measurements are crucial for assessing treatment efficacy.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of phoniatric treatment combined with functional voice therapy using phonetography.
- To analyze changes in key voice parameters before and after treatment in patients with voice disorders.
Summary:
- A phonetogram was conducted on 38 patients before and after phoniatric treatment and voice therapy.
- Significant positive changes were observed in fundamental frequency (F0) range, loudness dynamics, and the phonatory area.
- Comparison with the phonatory coefficient and acoustic analysis provided further physio-pathological insights.
Impact:
- Demonstrates the positive impact of integrated phoniatric treatment and voice therapy on voice function.
- Provides objective acoustic data supporting the efficacy of voice therapy interventions.
- Contributes to a better understanding of the physio-pathology of voice disorders and their treatment outcomes.
