Speech production can be regarded as a process where a time-varying vocal tract system
(filter) is excited by a time-varying excitation. In addition to its linguistic message, the speech …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of
the pathophysiology and impact on daily voice use of nonphonotraumatic vocal …

Objectives One of the presumed etiologies of primary muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) is a
respiratory-phonatory disruption resulting in poor phonatory airflow in speech; however, few …

The ambulatory assessment of vocal function can be significantly enhanced by having
access to physiologically based features that describe underlying pathophysiological …

Purpose The aim of this study was to use the Daily Phonotrauma Index (DPI) to quantify
group-based changes in the daily voice use of patients with phonotraumatic vocal …

Objective This integrative review aims to determine the quality level of evidence on using
surface electromyography (sEMG) as a diagnostic tool in identifying muscle tension …

Relative fundamental frequency (RFF) is a promising assessment technique for vocal
pathologies. Herein, we explore the underlying laryngeal factors dictating RFF behaviours …

Glottal resistance plays an important role in airflow conservation, especially in the context of
high vocal demands. However, it remains unclear if laryngeal strategies most effective in …

Subglottal Impedance-Based Inverse Filtering (IBIF) allows for the continuous, non-invasive
estimation of glottal airflow from a surface accelerometer placed over the anterior neck skin …

Down syndrome is one of the most common congenital genetic disorders. Generally,
individuals with Down syndrome presents perceptually strained, husky, monotonous …
