Q

Assessment:

A
  1. OM/CN Exam
  2. Case History
    a. Diet – Citrus? Acidic?
    b. Sleep
    c. Fatigue
    d. Vocal use
    e. Medication?
    f. Water consumption?
    g. Onset? Sudden = psychogenic/malingering; Gradual = organic (nodules, ALS, etc)
  3. Vocal Quality
  4. Pitch – up and down glides
  5. Loudness – up and down glides
  6. Resonance
  7. Endurance = MPT or count 1-100 (MG?)
  8. MSTD = laryngeal elevation, pain, reduced ROM
  9. Habitual Pitch = appropriate pitch for age and gender; anchored by coughing
  10. *Best perceptual tool for eval of pitch, intensity, quality, and endurance = prolonged vowel 11.

Objective Evaluation
a. Direct Laryngoscopy – very invasive; under anesthesia; good for surgery
b. Mirror Laryngoscopy – good for viewing masses
c. Endoscopy – can view anatomy and physiology (w/ stroboscopy)

Q

Perceptual evaluation of voice

A

Vocal Quality

Pitch – up and down glides

Loudness – up and down glides

Resonance

Habitual Pitch = appropriate pitch for age and gender; anchored by coughing

*Best perceptual tool for eval of pitch, intensity, quality, and endurance = prolonged vowel

*** ear is best tool

Q

Abductor SD-

Treatment:
A)
B)
C)
D)
A

The posterior cricoarytenoid contracts and forces the vocal folds open. Often occurs during speech when it is not supposed to.

A) humming
B) continuous voicing-all sounds are voiced
C) personal amplification system
D) Botox injection in PCA- hard to inject due to location/often not very successful

Q

Abductor spasmodic dysphonia:

Treatment:
1.
2.
3.
4.
A

The thorough arytenoid spasms in the vocal folds are forced closed resulting in a very strained/strangled vocal quality

  1. Easy onset
  2. Breathing exercises
  3. Airflow
  4. Botox injections into the fire arytenoid is the gold standard for ADSD** research suggests that SLP is not always good conjunctive therapy

Q

Nodules:

Treatment options:

A

Blisters that form on the anterior to middle one third of the vocal folds. Caused by repeated slamming together of the vocal folds.

  1. Vocal hygiene/vocal diary
  2. Treat Gerd
  3. Laryngeal massage for MSTD
  4. Reduce abusive behaviors
  5. Easy onset

treatment:

A

a. Counseling
b. Laryngeal massage
c. Train optimum pitch (m-hmm)

e. Suprasegmentals

16
Q

Flaccid dysphonia

Treatment:

A

a. Medialization or Nerve Anastomoses – gold standard
b. Glottal adduction exercises – for mild/moderate dysphonia
c. Vocal Fold Bowing – adduction exercises should be given as a trial prior to surgery

17
Q

Parkinson’s disease

A

a. LSVT – think loud; them the patient to talk 2x as loud; not with HTN
b. OM tasks to reduce masked facies
c. Lip and tongue exercises

swallowing
