These devices modify supraglottal impedance, potentially decreasing the aerodynamic power necessary for phonation. |
Supraglottal injection of botulinum toxin type A in adductor type spasmodic dysphonia with both intrinsic and extrinsic hyperfunction. |
Vocal effort in loud voice is produced with increased subglottal pressure during vowels and increased supraglottal pressure during consonants. |
The airflow was visualized in the immediate supraglottal region using a laser-sheet technique and a digital high-speed camera. |
The cross-section of the supraglottal channel was systematically varied by increasing the distance between the lateral channel walls. |
The results clearly showed different flow characteristics depending on the supraglottal configuration. |
