Chapter 7: Voice Management (Pt.1 Overview) Flashcards
What are the 5 voice therapy orientations?
1) hygienic
2) symptomatic
3) psychogenic
4) physiologic
5) eclectic
Which voice therapy orientation concentrates on discovering behavioral causes of voice disorder and modification/elimination of them to improve voice?
Hygienic
Why does the hygienic voice therapy approach work?
there is always a cause for a voice disorder, if you can discover it and fix it, the voice improves
What is the weakness of the hygienic voice therapy?
the cause may no longer be the precipitating factor
Which voice therapy orientation is a modification of deviant vocal symptoms (i.e. breathiness, inappropriate pitch, loudness, hard glottal attacks, etc.)?
symptomatic
Why does the symptomatic voice therapy approach work?
If a vocal component is inappropriate, it modifies it
What is the weakness of the symptomatic voice therapy approach?
what is the symptom/cause?
Which voice therapy orientation has a focus on the emotional and psychosocial status of the patient that led to/maintained the voice disorder?
psychogenic
Why does psychogenic voice therapy work?
there is always a psychosocial reason for behavior leading to a voice disorder, so if you treat that reason the voice can improve
What is the weakness of psychogenic voice therapy?
psychosocial contribution may be over-stated
Which voice therapy orientation is based on knowledge of vocal function through objective assessment and strives to improve balance between: respiratory support, laryngeal muscle strength, control, and stamina, and supraglottic modification of the laryngeal tone?
physiologic
Why does physiologic voice therapy work?
concentrates on the underlying physiology of the voice producing mechanisms (respiration, phonation, and resonance)
What are the 3 pillars/subsystems of voice?
1) phonation
2) respiration
3) resonance
What is eclectic voice therapy?
combo of any/all previous orientation to affect positive vocal change
