ICF and Voice Assessment, Typical Voice Ax Components, Auditory Perceptual Tasks Flashcards

1
Q
  • Women and children, not usually men.
  • Always 2 - bilateral
  • When soft, voice clarity may improve on high pitch as vocal folds thin and stretch
  • Can be treated with SP
  • Hourglass shaped, incomplete closure of glottis
  • Breathiness, roughness
A

Vocal nodules (an ICF Body Structures impairment - structure of the larynx s340)

-> Pitch range task (pitch glides) - if nodules are soft (newer?) voice clarity will improve as they’re stretched with vocal folds on high pitch, may be worse on low pitch

43
Q

CAPE-V

A

Kempster, Gerratt, et al., 2009

44
Q

Why is the CAPE-V a good Auditory-perceptual evaluation of voice tool?

A
  • ASHA developed
  • Uses consensus terminology (there is no common terminology for descriptions of voice quality)
  • Used in a lot of research, so patient data can be compared with the research data
45
Q

CAPE-V sentences

A

Allow us to hear how the voice sounds across different phonemically loaded contexts. [vowel onset, aspirant onset, nasals, mostly voiced, glides, voiceless plosives]

46
Q

How to get a spontaneous speech sample using CAPE-V (Kempster, Gerratt, et al., 2009)

A

Ask: “Tell me about your voice problem” or “Tell me how your voice is functioning.”

47
Q

Which 3 CAPE-V (Kempster, Gerratt, et al., 2009) tasks are used to rate voice quality?

A
  1. Sustained vowels /a/ and /i/ for 3-5 seconds
  2. CAPE-V sentences
  3. Spontanous speech in response to “Tell me about your voice problem” or “Tell me how your voice is functioning.”
    - -> Can also use Case Hx Interview and reading of “The Rainbow Passage.”
48
Q

What are the parameters of voice quality that are rated upon completion of:

  1. Sustained /a/ and /i/ 3-5 sec
  2. CAPE-V sentence production
  3. Spontaneous speech in response to “Tell me about your voice problem.”

CAPE-V (Kempster, Gerratt, et al., 2009)

A
  • Overall Severity
  • Roughness
  • Breathiness
  • Strain
  • Pitch
  • Loudness
  • Lines if you want to give a numerical rating on above
  • Resonance
  • Note additional features (diplophonia, fry, falsetto, asthenia, pitch instability/breaks, phonation breaks, tremor, monotone, voice arrests, wet/gurgly)
49
Q

What does C/I mean on the CAPE-V?

Kempster, Gerratt, et al., 2009

A

Consistent / Intermittant (circle one)

50
Q

What scale is used on ratings of voice quality in the CAPE-V?

(Kempster, Gerratt, et al., 2009)

A

Linear scale 0-100

can make it a score/100

51
Q

4 types of resonance

A
  • Normal
  • Hypernasality (air escaping through nose)
  • Hyponasality (blocked nose sound)
  • Cul-de-sac (muffled - like the sound can’t escape the vocal tract)
52
Q

Why should I rate voice quality on connected speech, rather than a sustained vowel?

A

Prolonged vowel will be rated more severely than connected speech –> want the rating to reflect the way a person uses their voice to more accurately determine functioning and affect in real use.

53
Q

How do we make COMPARATIVE perceptual judgements about our patient’s voice quality?

A

Record them reading The Rainbow Passage and CAPE-V sentences each time they come in.
