Relative fundamental frequency (RFF) is an acoustic measure that characterizes changes in
voice fundamental frequency during voicing transitions. Despite showing promise as an …

Background: Muscle Tension Dysphonia is a relatively new clinical entity that, despite being
one of the most frequent causes of functional dysphonia, is little-known by many …

Objectives We sought to determine whether spectral-and cepstral-based acoustic measures
were effective in distinguishing dysphonic-strained voice quality from normal voice quality …

Objectives Vocal loading tasks provide insight regarding the mechanisms underlying
healthy laryngeal function. Determining the manner in which the larynx can most efficiently …

Purpose Telepractice improves patient access to clinical care for voice disorders. Acoustic
assessment has the potential to provide critical, objective information during telepractice, yet …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine whether the relative fundamental
frequency (RFF) surrounding a voiceless consonant in patients with hyperfunctionally …

BACKGROUND: Vocal Nodules (VN) are a functional voice disorder associated with voice
misuse and abuse in children. There are few reports addressing vocal parameters in …

Objective The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of an
ecological vocal effort scale linked to a voicing task. Method Thirty-eight patients with …

Purpose This study examined the relationship between the acoustic measure relative
fundamental frequency (RFF) and a kinematic estimate of laryngeal stiffness. Method Twelve …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine concurrent validity of the Grade,
Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenia, and Strain (GRBAS) and Consensus Auditory …
