Phonation

background noise which produced a clear and quality sound for the phonation recording. The acoustic clarity for the recording was very clear and seemed to be high quality. In the rainbow passage recording, it seemed to have some air static that could be heard in the pauses between sentences. This also could have been breathing or wind sounds occurring in the room. When I listened to the recording through my headphones, the phonation recording was still very high quality, but the rainbow passage…

Abstract: There are no “typical” manifestations of symptoms when it comes to cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive motor disorder caused by congenital or acquired brain damage. It is difficult to say with any certainty what kind of struggles a child with CP will have. This is due to the great variability of how CP manifests. Cerebral palsy symptoms can range in severity and impact any number bodily processes and systems. The effect of CP on speech subsystems is no different, and…

the midline so air cannot escape. The thyoarytenoid makes up the majority of the vocal folds. The stylohyoid contraction at mandible will draw the hyoid up and down. With the tongue, positioning is helped by the hyoglossus in the phonotory system. Phonation is initiated as air pressure below the glottis overcomes medial compression, now the vocal folds are…

This nerve plays an extremely important role in many functions however the most important is swallowing and phonation. The vagus nerve has many branches which goes to many different organs of the body. The vagus has 3 main branches, the pharyngeal, superior laryngeal, and recurrent laryngeal nerves. That are very important to phonation. The pharyngeal nerve innervates muscles of the soft palate and the pharynx. The superior laryngeal and the recurrent laryngeal nerves carry…

strong and clean voice with the least amount of effort and the impact between the vocal folds. This helps minimize the amount of injury and continues maintain the health of the vocal folds. RVT involves oral sensation on the alveolar ridge to use phonation. How and Why Resonant Voice Therapy is performed RVT is a 7 stage program. The first step is training for using RVT is repeating the word /molm/ at both a high and low pitches. The pharynx should be open for the /ol/ part while during the…

to survive, there’s no set amount each adult has to have in order to keep their body moving. 2. Breathiness- A vocal quality characterized by the release of excessive breath because the vocal folds are not brought closely enough together during phonation; also caused by lack of breath support. Sentence: Breathiness in your voice is something to always keep in mind while speaking in front of a crowd, so that the fluidity in your speech never becomes an issue…

Dysarthria is a common symptom of many neurological disorders, and the features of the speech dysfunction are distinctive. (17) Classic dysarthric presentations are characterised by a disturbance in the subsystems of speech, namely respiration, phonation, articulation, and resonance, resulting in reduced speech intelligibility and quality. (18) Dysarthria is a cardinal and salient clinical symptom in FRDA (2, 19, 20) with a prevalence of 91%. (20) The severity of the dysarthria associated…

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a group of disorders due to brain damage that leads to difficulty with movement. The brain damage in CP is incurable, but it is also non-progressive. On a positive note, CP is not life threatening and most people live well into adulthood. Factors that could affect life span include severity of impairments, restricted mobility, or respiratory functions. CP can include co-occurring symptoms such as involuntary movements, poor balance, impaired speech, or poor posture. The…

The respiratory system is composed by a set of organs that are involved when breathing. The anatomy of the respiratory tract includes the nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, bronchi, lungs, alveoli and the diaphragm. There some organs of the respiratory system that are responsible for the process of breathing. The nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs permit the gas exchange to happen at the cellular level. The air enters through the nose and mouth and it goes into the lungs to…

group. Acoustic analysis of reflux laryngitis patients included increased amounts of “jitter, shimmer, normalized noise energy, voice handicap index (VHI), and decreased parameters of phonetogram”, while also displaying a decreased length in maximum phonation time” (Pribuisiene, Uloza, Kupicinskas,…
