VOICE THERAPY AND THEPROFESSIONAL VOICE

EVALUATION OF DYSPHONIA- Nature of voice problem: when, how long, provoking factors,range of voice, breathiness, concurrent URTI / stressors- Validated assessment scales: Singing Voice Handicap, GRAB - Palpate larynx at rest and during speech. ?Excess tension- Laryngoscopy - Stroboscopy - assess VF movement

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF VOICE

MUSCLE TENSION DYSPHONIA

External laryngeal muscles:Myelohyoid, sternohyoid, omohyoid,thyrohyoid, cricothyroid, digastrics- Laryngeal framework/position

- Otherwise normal larynx on endoscopy- Voice "gives out," weak and breathy. Adaptive compensationfrom glottic incompetence / excessive laryngeal muscle tension

Internal laryngeal muscles:Thyroarytenoid, cricothyroid,

cricoarytenoid- Sound production

Innervated by CN X

Language (cognition)Speech (articulation of sound)Voice (vocal cord vibrations)

MANAGEMENT- Multidisciplinary assessment - otolaryngologist, SLP- Laryngeal hygiene: hydration, smoking cessation, voice rest - Voice therapy and maneuvers - Surgery to remove benign lesions

BENIGN VOCAL FOLD LESIONS- From short or long term trauma. Nodules, polyps, cysts- Damaged epithelium with loss of normal cord vibrations
