Q

True or False: a 90 degree angle using a rigid endoscope gives us a better view of the VFs

A

False: while a 90 degree angle is more comfortable for the patient, a 70 degree gives us a better view

Q

What are the 3 speeds of videostroboscopy?

A
  • Stop: still images
  • Running: slow motion view of VFs
  • Walk: Even slower motion
17
Q

When we are watching videos from endoscopes, we are watching _______ motion

A

apparent

18
Q

As F0 increases, the excursion of the mucosal wave __________

A

decreases

-due to increased tension in the VFs

19
Q

As loudness increases, the excursion of the mucosal wave _________

A

increases

-we see this most commonly in the modal register

20
Q

What are the two instruments that measure VF contact area?

A
  • Electroglottography

- Photoglottography

21
Q

What are the two aerodynamic instruments we talked about in class?

22
Q

2 pressures, measured on both sides of a known resistance, can be used to calculate _______

A

flow

23
Q

How do we measure sub glottal pressure
