The purpose of this paper is to review the methods used for the assessment of muscular
tension dysphonia (MTD). The MTD is a functional voice disorder associated with abnormal …

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: Muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) is the pathological condition in which an
excessive tension of the (para) laryngeal musculature leads to a disturbed voice. Surface …

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

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 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 article is to examine the ability of an acoustic measure, relative
fundamental frequency (RFF), to distinguish between two subtypes of vocal hyperfunction …

Objective: Objective evaluation of physiological responses using non-invasive methods for
the assessment of vocal performance and voice disorders has attracted great interest. This …

Objective To compare dysphonic individuals to nondysphonic with regards to electrical
activity of extrinsic laryngeal muscles related to perceptual and acoustic vocal parameters …

Objectives/Hypothesis Laryngeal muscle activation is a complex and dynamic process.
Current evaluation methods include needle and surface electromyography (sEMG) …
