Exam 3 Part 3

Question 1

What are examples of psychogenic therapy?

Answer 1

Interview patient, know relationship/emotional problems, provide counseling, reduce body tension as a whole, support ongoing psychological counseling

Question 2

What are examples of physiological therapy?

Answer 2

Build greater subglottic pressure, increase supraglottic tension

Question 3

T/F: By the end of vocal stretching exercise, TA vocalis dominate over CT muscle

Answer 3

False; CT muscle dominates when raising pitch, and so vocal folds increase their length, become thinner, and there is increase in passive tension.

Question 4

T/F: There is an active tension by the end of vocal contraction exercise.

Answer 4

True; when going down with the pitch, your TA vocalis dominates over CT. As the muscle itself is contracting, there is an increase in active tension, along with shortening of muscle, and increase in mass as it gets bulked up.

Question 5

The Accent method is useful for what laryngeal pathologies/voice disorders?

Answer 5

Asthma, COPD, paradoxical vocal fold motion, acute or chronic respiratory illness

Question 6

What type of treatment is best for presbyphonia?

Answer 6

Physiological voice therapy, some hygienic and symptomatic if there are inappropriate vocal behaviors

Question 7

T/F: Typically physiologic voice therapy works for most of the cases, however, we need to go case-by-case basis.

Answer 7

True

Question 8

T/F: Push-pull techniques are healthy facilitating techniques used all the time for vocal fold paralysis.

Answer 8

False; These techniques might assist with glottal adduction through abdominal fixation but not really for long-term effects. You might want to orient towards physiologic approach for long lasting effects.

Question 19

What are the most common regions for laryngeal cancer?

Answer 19
