Professionals
Who would a speech pathologist work with when evaluating or managing a patient’s speech breathing disorder?
Respiratory therapist
what is manometry
Test that measures different types of pressure, using solid or liquid-filled pressure transducers such as U-tubes and air-gauges.
the greatest volume of air that can be expelled from the lungs after taking the deepest possible breath
vital capacity
Has elastic bands with electric wires, one for the rib cage wall and one for the abdominal wall. When the band lengthens/shortens, the signal changes based on the movement.
chest wall surface tracking
What is the purpose of a U-tube manometer?
Used to measure oral pressure, to predict alveolar pressure
a procedure in which an instrument is introduced into the body to give a view of its internal parts
endoscopy
Pulmonary function test, measures lung function and the amount and speed of air that can be inhaled and exhaled
spirometry
an example of how a radiologist can assist in providing services of people with disorders that affect the 4 systems
Using imaging to locate and identify a tumor or abnormality that may be somewhere in the speech system
How is pulmonary ventilation measured
Respiratory inductance plethysmography
a device used for the noninvasive measurement of the degree of contact between the vibrating vocal folds during voice production
Electroglottograph
What are the 3 examples of manometers used to measure oral pressure?
U tube manometers
air gauge manometers
pressure transducers(mechanical electrical manometers
What does a hand-held spirometer do?
It helps people to take slow, deep breaths and keeps the lungs strong and working well.
the endoscopic examination of the velopharynx
Nasendoscopy
what is sealed airtight for acurate airflow measurement
The Pharynx
What health care professionals can provide services to clients with disorders affecting all Four Speech Subsystems?
Speech-language pathologist, psychologist/counselor, neurologist, radiologist
What 3 conditions need to be met for accurate results with a U-tube manometer?
Velopharynx is closed and the lips are sealed airtight
Flow of air between the alveoli and the oral cavity is zero
Pressure measurement is not influenced by impounding pressure in the oral cavity
observations such as oral air pressure and oral airflow
Aeromechanical
A wet spirometer is a device used to measure __________ and ___________.
a.) lung capacity and breathing patterns.
b.) breathing capacity and lung patterns
c.) inspiration and expiration
a.) lung capacity and breathing patterns.
