Electrical impedance 'LX' waveforms measured across the neck at the thyroid level during phonation are known to be correlated with vocal fold movement. Changes in vocal fold contact are thought to be the cause of this phenomenon though emerging applications in radiotherapy indicate that changes in the configuration of both fold and neck tissues are correlated with LX waveform shape. In this pap...

Psychological and physical patient state as well as the influence of other social factor is of great influence voice rehabilitation. A team of experts in the field of voice and its function are involved in voice therapy. Our research was focused on the successfulness of voice recovery depending on the patient vocal disorder approach. We made a comparison of two methods: RVT and Accent method. W...

Much has been learned about the viscoelastic properties of the true vocal fold, including its linear and nonlinear viscoelastic properties under both tensile and shear deformation. Very little is known about the viscoelastic behavior of the false vocal fold, however. Clinical observations and computational modeling studies of phonation have suggested that the false fold could contribute to the ...

the main purpose of this semi - experimental study was to examine the effects of rehearsal strategies training on second language vocabulary learning . in particular , four training methods were examined : ( a ) vocal rehearsal , ( b ) subvocal rehearsal , ( c ) vocal and subvocal rehearsal, and ( d ) no rehearsal . one hundred and sixty - two undergraduate freshmen ( four intact classes from f...

Background: individuals with Parkinson's disease present voice and speech alterations, especially regarding loudness and speech rate. Aim: to determine the immediate effect of modified auditory feedback: amplification, delay and masking in the voice and speech of individuals with Parkinson's disease, according to gender. Method: twenty-six subjects with Parkinson's disease (15 men and 11 women)...

This paper investigates the effectiveness of measures related to vocal tract characteristics in classifying normal and pathological speech. Unlike conventional approaches that mainly focus on features related to the vocal source, vocal tract characteristics are examined to determine if interaction effects between vocal folds and the vocal tract can be used to detect pathological speech. Especia...

objectives: nasality is one of the important parameters in pathology of voice resonance. voice of normal adults has nasality to some extent. it appears that nasality, like other parameters of voice, can be affected by loudness which can be measured in experimental evaluations. this study was conducted to determine the effect of vocal loudness on nasalance of vowels in normal adults and to ident...

introduction:tapia’s syndrome is a rare complication of recurrent laryngeal and hypoglossal nerve paralysis due to anesthetic airway mismanagement or malpositioning of the patient’s head during surgery. case report:here we present a case of tapia's syndrome in a 22-year-old male after corrective jaw surgery under general anesthesia, with a long period of recovery, related to airway managem...

The basic goal of the voice conversion system to mimics the characteristics of the target speaker voice by keeping the linguistic and paralinguistic information intact. The characteristics of a speaker in speech reflect at different level such as vocal tract, excitation and prosodic parameters. This propose work based on cepstrum which represents the vocal tract and excitation parameters of the...
