Definition
| Hyponasal speech and reduced vocal resonance, Mouth breathing, dehydration and laryngitis |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- may lead to structural changes, and may then lead to secondary muscle tension disorders eg. Compensatory hyperfunction of false cords
- oedema of vc/polyp formation
- thickened, rough surface layer
- dilated vessels/vascular polyps
- vocal cord nodules or cysts
|
|
|
Term
| Surface Change of Vocal Cords |
|
Definition
Surface thickening and irregularity affect clarity of voice Prevents normal mucosal wave on phonation – poor stability and pitch control Impairs vc closure, therefore there’s air escape, subsequent breathiness |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- breathy, rough, hoarse voice due to failure to close glottis on phonation
- caused by heard attach, cough/throat clearing, shouting, constant high volume and lack of vocal rest
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- Lump of fleshy, soft reparing tissue, a sign of chronic infection and constant rehealing
- Causes: intubation, acid reflux (cough, throat clearing), vocal abuse
- Surgery ineffective
|
|
|
Term
| Unilateral Vocal Cord Palsy |
|
Definition
| hoarse, weak, breathy voice, short phonation time with air escape, weak bovine cough, difficulty projecting voice |
|
|
Term
| Primary Muscle Tension Disorders |
|
Definition
| incomplete glottal closure with air escape, secondary false cord hyperfunction, laryngeal compression, abnormal mucosal wave, may be general tension |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| breathier, less volume, higher pitch, muscle weakness, vocal cord wasting/atrophy, often associated with change in singing voice, wavering/vibrato effect |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| paresis or paralysis of vocal cords, abnormal movements (tremor, spasm, parodoxical, irregular), breathing may be uncoordinated with articulation |
|
|
Term
| Stroke/Cerebro-vascular accident |
|
Definition
| Aphasia/dysphasia, dysarthria, dysphonia (weak/paralysed vocal cords) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Possible bulbar palsy, dysarthria, slurring, weak voice, breathiness, aspiration, dysphagia, cough |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| voice may be weak with poor breath support, poor posture, muscle spasms, stress and anxiety due to illness |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| muscles fatigue rapidly, weakness of bulbar muscles affects chewing, swallowing and articulation. Speech fades progressively |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
In children: speech delay, poor vocab, mispronunciations and substitutions
In adults: poor self-perception of voice with poor modulation, poor volume control, vocal monotony |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Nasal escape, possible loss of palatal sounds, reflux of milk/food inflames eustachian tube, can have secondary glue ear and hearing loss |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Can cause nasal mucosal swelling, leading to hyponasal voice, mouth breathing and dehydration, secondary sore throat may lead to coughing/throat clearing and so secondary vocal cord trauma |

|
Term
| Bilateral Vocal Cord Palsy |
|
Definition
| stridor, airway main concern, not voice, voice may be normal is vocal cords are closely approximated |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| presents late, will not make you hoarse. Painless or referred pain, globus sensation occurs late |
