Exam 1 Part 1 Flashcards
True or false: A normal voice is purely defined by age and gender appropriate pitch and loudness.
False
True or false: We should consider geographical location when defining a “normal” or “abnormal” voice due to variations in norms and cultural differences.
True
Is voice analysis and therapy purely scientific, a form of art, or both?
Both
True or false: Technology is the best way to identify a voice problem most of the time.
False
A person’s quality, pitch, and loudness differ from those of similar age, gender, cultural background, and geographic location
Voice disorder
What mechanism can be affected by a voice disorder?
Laryngeal
Transgender population frequently suffer from gender dysphoria, where their voice plays a significant role in negatively impacting their quality of life.
True
What are the ingredients for the artistic nature of voice care?
Human interaction, compassion, understanding, empathy, listening skills, counseling skills, motivation
What are the ingredients for the scientific nature of voice care?
Knowledge of anatomy/physiology, etiologies, laryngeal pathologies, vocal acoustics, vocal aerodynamics, EBP
What are the dependents of normal voicing?
Balance of respiration, phonation, and resonance
Approach that deals with the balance of respiration, phonation and resonance in voice disorder treatment
Physiological approach
Valve responsible for airway preservation for ventilation, airway protection during swallowing, and phonation (for communication and singing)
Laryngeal Valve
True or false: Physiologic approach of voice therapy targets on balance among three subsystems as the transfer of momentum (energy) from one system to another is important for optimal and healthy voice production.
True
What does the laryngeal valve consist of?
Cartilage, muscle, connective tissue, mucosa
What is the role of the SLP in voice disorders?
Evaluation of laryngeal function, identifying and modifying/eliminating the functional causes that led to the voice disorder, develop a therapy plan to remediate the voice disorder and return the voice to improved function.
