Two groups of 10 speech-language pathology graduate students were each given 7 weeks of singing lessons to determine whether voice lessons could have an effect on their clinical and perceptual skills. Pre-, mid-, and posttests to measure various skills were designed and implemented. With use of paired sample statistical testing, statistically significant results were obtained. In addition, the subjective responses of the students show that the lessons were effective in improving pitch perception, breath control, and legato production or easy onset. This study supports efforts to integrate curricula in vocal performance and speech-language pathology. 相似文献

Noninvasive measures of vocal fold activity are useful for describingnormal and disordered voice production. Measures of open and speed quotient from glottal airflow and electroglottographic (EGG) waveforms have been used to describe timing events associated with vocal fold vibration. To date, there has been little consistency in the measurement criteria used to calculate quotient values. In this study, criteria of 20% and 50% were applied to the AC amplitude of glottal airflow and inverted EGG waveforms for measurement of open quotient. Criteria of 20%, 50%, and 80%, and a midslope criterion that segmented the waveform between 20% and 80% of the waveform amplitude, were used for the calculation of speed quotient. Subjects produced waveforms at sound pressure levels (SPL) of 70, 75, 80 and 85 dB. Results indicated that approximations of open quotient obtained from the glottal airflow waveform significantly decreased using both the 20% and 50% criteria as SPL increased from 80 to 85 dB. No significant changes were found in open quotient from the EGG waveform as a function of SPL. Results of speed quotient measures from the glottal airflow and EGG waveforms showed a generally increasing trend as SPL increased, although the differences were not statistically significant. The data suggest that the signal type, measurement criterion and SPL must be considered in interpreting quotient measures. 相似文献

The particle velocity across the glottis was measured with simultaneous electroglottography, photoglottography, and subglottic pressure in an in vivo canine model of phonation. A constant temperature anemometer measured flow velocity at five midline anterior to posterior glottal positions. Tracheal input air flow was varied in five steps from 175 to 500 cc/s, while vocal fold approximation was achieved by constant electrical stimulation of the laryngeal nerves. For all levels of air flow, a decreasing peak velocity gradient was observed from the anterior commissure to the arytenoids. Time-varying features of the flow velocity are discussed in relation to glottal vibratory events and aerodynamics. 相似文献

High-speed filming is one of the most informative methods for assessing voice physiology data. Tracing high-speed images of the glottis provides quantitative parameters such as the glottal area and the glottal width function. By way of example, a number of studies are discussed which extract quantitative data from high-speed images showing voice onsets. Furthermore, a new computer system (MVAS; multi-dimensional voice analysis system) is presented that synchronously displays a laryngoscopic high-speed film, the electroglottographical signal, and several acoustic analyses of the recorded voice sample. The automatic measurement of glottal width and glottal area from the laryngoscopic images is also provided. Looking at former studies and our analyses of voice onsets reveals a tremendous intersubject and even intrasubject variability (different prephonatory closure, different time span until full amplitude is reached, different open quotient). 相似文献

The membranous contact quotient (MCQ) is introduced as a measure of dynamic glottal competence. It is defined as the ratio of the membranous contact glottis (the anterior-posterior length of contact between the two membranous vocal folds) and the membranous vocal fold length. An elliptical approximation to the vocal fold contour during phonation was used to predict MCQ values as a function of vocal process gap (adduction), maximum glottal width, and membranous glottal length. MCQ is highly dependent on the vocal process gap and the maximum glottal width, but not on vocal fold length. Five excised larynges were used to obtain MCQ data for a wide range of vocal process gaps and maximum glottal widths. Predicted and measured MCQ values had a correlation of 0.93, with an average absolute difference of 9.6% (SD = 10.5%). The model is better at higher values of MCQ. The theory for MCQ is also expressed as a function of vocal process gap and subglottal pressure to suggest production control potential. The MCQ measure is obtainable with the use of stroboscopy and appears to be a potentially useful clinical measure. 相似文献

A voice therapy program using pushing exercises to correct glottal incompetence is described. The program utilizes various types of instrumentation to determine whether or not a given patient is likely to benefit from the treatment. The program also provides feedback of target voices. Three cases with incomplete glottal closure and subsequent vocal dysphonia characterized by an asthenic breathy quality are used to illustrate the program. Details of the program, termination criteria, and problems and precautions learned from treating 29 patients over a 3-year period are presented. 相似文献

The purpose of this retrospective study is to describe results of acoustic, aerodynamic, and videostroboscopic measures in patients complaining of laryngeal fatigue. Data were collected from 88 patients whose primary complaint was chronic laryngeal fatigue in the absence of visible laryngeal pathologies. The results revealed an abnormally high airflow rate and decreased maximum phonation time. An anterior glottal chink, anterior and posterior glottal chinks, or spindle-shaped glottal closure were found in 61% of the subjects. 相似文献
