More or Less?
Three intervention techniques used to unload hyperfunction from the larynx.
What are SOVT exercises, RVT, and VFEs.
An aerodynamic task to measure the ability to sustain phonation on a vowel sound.
What is MPT - maximum phonation time.
Air pressure below the VFs when preparing to phonate.
What is subglottal air pressure?
Damage to the VF tissues caused by a one-time phonotraumatic event.
What are vocal fold polyps?
A program that facilitates speaking with intent.
What is Speak Out.
Two techniques used with Parkinson's patients to facilitate a level of loudness and clarity so that others can understand them.
An aerodynamic measure involving in sustaining /s/and /z/.
What is s-z ratio?
Air pressure above the VFs that results from back pressure related to semi-occlusion of the vocal tract.
What is supraglottal air pressure?
Bilateral lesions of the vocal fold caused by continuous phonotrauma over time.
What are nodules?
A method that is based on forward focus/ease of phonation.
What is Resonant Voice Therapy - RVT.
The type of breathing that provides the most air supply for phonation.
What is ABD breathing?
A treatment intervention based on forward focus/ease of phonation.
What is RVT - resonant voice therapy.
The term that describes the magnitude of VF vibrations related to loudness.
What is amplitude?
The terms used to label the voice quality outcome of the inability of the velopharyngeal port to valve efficiently.
What are VPI (velopharyngeal insufficiency/incompetence) and VPD (velopharyngeal dysfunction).
A Boone facilitating technique used to gain phonation in an aphonic client.
What is swallow-boom?
Two techniques used with MTD to rebalance the voice subsystems by shifting the focus of phonation from the laryngeal mechanism to forward focus.
What are SOVT and RVT?
Vocal exercises developed by Joseph Stemple to help people regain healthy voice production through forward forward resonance.
What is VFE - vocal function exercises.
The term that describes your habitual pitch?
What is fundamental frequency?
The technique used to sustain phonation.
What is using continuous abdominal contraction to drive air flow gradually to maintain sufficient subglottal air pressure?
A combination of techniques used to reduce/eliminate vocal fatigue caused by non-productive compensatory behaviors.
What are SOVT and forward focus?
Two techniques used to increase inhalation or exhalation muscle strength with a device.
What are expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) and inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST)?
Vocal exercises that facilitate forward focus with or without a straw to partially occlude the vocal tract to create back pressure.
SOVT - semi-occluded voice tract exercises.
The theory about shaping of the characteristics of voice in the vocal tract.
What is the Source-Filter Theory.
The steps of the cycle of phonation.
What is subglottal pressure builds up, the vocal folds blow open, the air rushes through the VDs, air pressure drops due to the Bernoulli Effect, the VFs come back together due to a combination of supraglottal air pressure, tissue elasticity and recoil.
The three components of Mr. Krupke's behavioral voice therapy for bilateral vocal fold paralysis.
What are forward focus/ease of phonation, phonation stability, and air flow management?
