When is your exam due?
October 13th at 11:59 pm!!!
What would we expect a strobe to look like for unilateral VF paralysis?
We would expect to see one VF having difficulty moving or not moving at all.
When describing one's voice, the term "hoarse" should be used.
False
Why is it important to collect case history on a patient?
What are some potential auditory perceptual findings for Reinke’s Edema?
Voice quality could be rough, lower pitch, in a severe case the patient could have trouble breathing.
What are acoustic measures?
Frequency, Intensity, Perturbation, Spectrography & Cepstral analyses, and Harmonic-to-Noise Ratio.
What would a strobe look like for an individual who has an essential tremor?
We would expect to see open phase closure, a spindle gap, and the phase symmetry would be symmetrical.
When strobing a patient, you should put the entire strobe down the patients throat.
False
What does the CAPE-V measure?
Overall severity, roughness, breathiness, strain, pitch, and loudness.
Where do bilateral vocal nodules occur and how does that impact subglottic pressure?
Bilateral vocal nodules are located at the midpoint of the vocal folds, and this leads to decreased subglottic pressure.
What are aerodynamic measures?
Lung capacities, air pressure, air flow, and laryngeal resistance.
What would a strobe look like for a patient with Reinke's Edema laryngitis?
It will show more asymmetrical and irregular VF patterns and limited amplitude and muscousal waves.
Essential tremor can occur with other neurological disorders such as Parkinsons.
True.
What is the purpose of the VHI?
To allow patients to describe their voice and how their voice impacts their life.
Inspiration: diaphragm and external intercostals. Expiration: abdominals and internal intercostals.
What would a strobe look like for an individual with papiloma?
With laryngeal granuloma, a patient would potentially have intermittent aspiration with liquids.
True
What is the VALI used for?
It is a rating form that was developed for assessing videostroboscopy and high-speed videoendoscopic recording.
Occurs when rupture of a blood vessel bleeds into the superficial lamina propria
What are the most common symptoms of Reinke's Edema laryngitis?
A strained voice, sore throat, and dry cough.
What would a strobe look like for a patient with VF hemorrhage?
It is likely that all acoustic findings for vocal fold paralysis should be elevated.
False.
What would the auditory-perceptual findings look like for polyps?
Breathiness would be moderate, roughness would be mild, little to no strain, and loudness may be affected depending on placement of the polyp.
What disorder causes flat white spots on the vocal folds?
Leukoplakia
