The impact of vocal function exercises on normal voice production
… in order to increase our understanding of how Vocal Function Exercises (VFE) might improve vocal function in normal voices. Measures were made to reflect potential post-treatment changes in acoustic and aerodynamic variables, including a measure of vocal efficiency. The participants of the …

The effects of vocal function exercises on the lung function of trained female singers: a pilot investigation
Vocal function exercises have been designed to strengthen and tone the muscles of the larynx and supporting musculature to enhance vocal function. The effect of these exercises on lung function is yet to be determined. Ten trained female volunteers participated in the current pilot study. All ten …

Estimating glottal voicing source characteristics by measuring and modeling the acceleration of the skin on the neck
… management of voice patients, quantifying vocal function is becoming increasingly important both for corroborating clinicians' subjective impressions during a voice evaluation and for assessing the effectiveness of surgery or voice therapy. Current devices for quantifying vocal function …

Kinematic Modeling of Asymmetric Vocal Fold Vibration
Asymmetries of the vocal folds and vocal fold vibration are key features underlying unilateral vocal fold motion impairment (VFMI). The knowledge of what particular asymmetries contribute to breathy voice and which asymmetries must be eliminated to re-establish normal voice will be important to …

Optimizing acoustic and perceptual assessment of voice quality in children with vocal nodules
… exist for optimizing the assessment of vocal function in children with voice disorders. The goal of this investigation was to identify a minimal set of speech tasks and associated acoustic analysis methods that are most salient in characterizing the impact of vocal nodules on vocal …

Studies on the Changes Occurring in Speech and Masticatory Functions during Prosthetic Treatment // Изследвания върху промените, настъпващи в говорната и дъвкателната функции при протетично лечение
… investigates changes in speech and masticatory function following prosthetic treatment of single frontal maxillary defects. The research was systematically conducted. First, an otolaryngological screening was carried out to select patients without vocal cord pathology. Then, a retrospective …

Vocal Fatigue in Collegiate Singers: An Exploratory Investigation Towards a New Assessment Protocol
… singer is at an elevated risk of developing vocal pathologies as compared to their non-singing counterparts (Bretl et al., 2023). This difficulty is magnified by an educators need to help care for multiple student voices, let alone an entire voice program. Individual assessment is an …

Laryngeal function associated with changes in lung volume during voice and speech production in normal speaking women
… relations between respiratory and laryngeal function associated with changes in lung volume level during phonation. Respiratory, acoustic, aerodynamic, electroglottographic, and videostroboscopic measures were obtained simultaneously for 14 normal female speakers as they sustained vowels and …
