Objectives Muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) is generally diagnosed through clinical history
and physical examination. Several diagnostic or classification systems exist, such as those …

Miniature high-bandwidth accelerometers on the anterior neck surface are used in
laboratory and ambulatory settings to obtain vocal function measures. This study compared …

Purpose This study aimed to examine the relationship between a large set of hypothesized
physiological measures of vocal effort and self-ratings of vocal effort. Method Twenty-six …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of nonmodal phonation on
estimates of subglottal pressure (Ps) derived from the magnitude of a neck-surface …

Subglottal air pressure plays a major role in voice production and is a primary factor in
controlling voice onset, offset, sound pressure level, glottal airflow, vocal fold collision …

Purpose Recent studies have shown that an acoustic measure, relative fundamental
frequency (RFF), has potential for the assessment of excessive laryngeal tension and vocal …

Featured Application A method to directly estimate the contact pressure of the vocal folds
using uncalibrated laryngeal kinematic data is presented. The approach is promising in …

Purpose Aerodynamic characteristics of the patients with voice disorder should be evaluated
not only in sustained vowel phonation but also in continuous speech production. This study …

This study purposed to examine difference in the range of motion of the articulator between
normal speakers and MTD through an acoustic matrix. Muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) is …
