Look at larynx
What does a typical voice evaluation consist of?
- Patient history
- voice sample-sustained & connected
- perceptual analysis (subjective)
- acoustic analysis (objective)
- Stroboscopic assessment
- Respiratory assessment
- Resonance/VP assessment
- Recommendations/POC
Name two types of perceptual analysis? (subjective)
- voice handicap index (Patient)
- Consensus auditory-perceptual evaluation of voice (SLP)
Perceptual analysis is _______.
subjective
Acoustic analysis is _________.
objective
What is a subjective voice analysis?
Perceptual
What is an objective voice analysis?
Acoustic
What is a type of acoustic analysis?
Multidimensional voice profile (MDVP)
What are the types of respiratory assessment?
- spirometry
- manometry
- pneumotachometry
What are types of resonance/vp assessment?
- nasopharyngoscopy
- nasometer
What happens during plan of care?
- Explain everything you found
- recommendations
What happens in acoustic analysis (MDVP)?
Feed voice into computer where it outputs/reads stats.
What is the voice handicap Index?
It’s the perceptual analysis of voice from the client’s perspective (subjective).
What is the consensus auditory perceptual evaluation of voice (CAPE-V)?
Its’ the SLPs perceptual analysis of the client’s voice.
What is pneumotachometry?
Measure of cough.
_______ ________ _______ is the perceptual analysis of voice from the client’s perspective (subjective).
Voice handicap Index (VHI)
________ ________ _______ _______ of ______ is the SLPs perceptual analysis of the client’s voice.
Consensus auditory perceptual evaluation of voice (CAPE-V)
What do you do if you are assessing a client for voice, but the client states that she is also having swallowing problems?
Clinician assesses swallowing.
How long does a typical voice evaluation without respiratory or resonance assessment last?
Typically 1 hour
What do you typically look for during an oral facial exam?
- cleft palate
- dentition
- shine strobe light on palate
Why would you do a hearing assessment for a person with voice nodules?
They usually speak loudly, and sometimes its due to a hearing loss.
What is electromyography (EMG)?
It is one way to measure muscle activity through the use of strategically placed electrodes.
-Measured in volts
What is EGG?
Measures mean flow rate (MFR) or airflow at glottis

Oral rigid laryngoscopy
What is the fastest scoping procedure?
oral rigid laryngoscopy
It doesn’t even take two minutes
