G. Paul Moore Lecture. Rational thought: the impact of voice science upon voice care
1Department of Otolaryngology, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Abstract:
Recent evolution in scientific knowledge and technology has led to monumental improvement in the standard of care for patients with voice disorders. New concepts in anatomy, physiology, measurement, and analysis have provided voice care professionals with not merely better understanding, but moreover an extensive vocabulary with which to think about voice function and dysfunction. Previously, we had to depend too much upon anecdote and "the art of medicine." Thanks to scientific advances, we now have the tools we need for rational thought about the human voice. This is the fundamental change responsible for recent great advances in voice care.
