Background and Objectives : Vocal abuse and misuse and muscle tension dysphonia that have various movements of false vocal folds may be related to the development of benign vocal folds lesions, such as vocal nodules, polyps, and cysts. This study was designed to determine whether benign vocal folds lesions were related with movements of false vocal folds on phonation. Material and Methods : One Hundred and seventy eight subjects were studied. All subjects received otolaryngological evaluation including videostroboscopy, objective voice measures. Patients were diagnosed as normal shape of vocal folds (group a), approximation of bilateral false vocal folds (group b), approximation of unilateral false vocal folds (group c), lateralized extension of false vocal folds (group d), and medialized approximation of posterior false vocal folds (group e). We analyzed the results of benign vocal folds lesions in each group. Results : Differences were found between the normal shaped group and the abnormal shaped group. No differences were found between each abnormal groups except group d and e. Conclusion : The shape of false vocal folds was related to the benign vocal folds lesions.

음성에 대한 청각적 판단으로는 차이점과 공통점을 느낄 수 있으나, 개별적인 음향 분석에서는 차이점이나 공통점을 밝혀 내지 못한 경우가 많았다 따라서 음성에 대한 청각적 판단처럼 음향 분석 변수를 종합적으로 분석할 수 있는 MDVP와 Phonetogram을 이용하여 음성질환별로 나타나는 소견을 관찰하여 청각적 판단과 종합적인 음향학적 분석간에 연관성이 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 음성변화를 주소로 본원에 내원하였던 환자 중 화상회선경술 검사상 양성성대질환이 관찰되었던 102명을 대상으로 하였고, 성대질환이 없었던 정상군과 비교하였다. 각 대상들은 화상회선경술 검사에서 질환의 종류를 확인하였고, 질환별 청각적 분석을 GRBAS로 확인하였다. 또한 MDVP를 시행하여 질환별로 변수들의 특징적인 변화를 종합적으로 도식화하여 확인하였고, Phonetogram을 시행하여 질환별로 감소된 부분이 있는지 확인하였다.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of vocal aerobic treatment (VAT) on the improvement of voice in patients with voice disorders. Twenty patients (13 males, 7 females) were diagnosed with voice disorders on the basis of videostroboscopy and voice evaluations. Acoustic evaluation was performed with the Multidimensional voice program (MDVP) and Voice Range Profile (VRP) of Computerized Speech Lab (CSL), and aerodynamic evaluation with PAS (Phonatory Aerodynamic System). The changes in F0, Jitter, Shimmer, and NHR before and after treatment were measured by MDVP. F0 range and Energy range were measured with VRP before and after treatment, and the changes in Expiratory Volume (FVC), Phonation Time (PHOT), Mean Expiratory Airflow (MEAF), Mean Peak Air Pressure (MPAP), and Aerodynamic Efficiency (AEFF) with PAS. Videostroboscopy was performed to evaluate the regularity, symmetry, mucosal wave, and amplitude changes of both vocal cords before and after treatment. Voice therapy was performed once a week for each patient using the VAT program in a holistic voice therapy approach. The average number of treatments per patient was 6.5. In the MDVP, Jitter, Shimmer, and NHR showed statistically significant decreases (p < .001, p < .01, p < .05). VRP results showed that Hz and semitones in the frequency range improved significantly after treatment (p < .01, p < .05), as did PAS, FVC, and PHOT (p < .01, p < .001). The results for videostroboscopy, functional voice disorder, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and benign vocal fold lesions were normal. Thus, the VAT program was found to be effective in improving the acoustic and aerodynamic aspects of the voice of patients with voice disorders. In future studies, the effect of VAT on the same group of voice disorders should be studied. It is also necessary to investigate subjective voice improvement and objective voice improvement. Furthermore, it is necessary to examine the effects of VAT in professional voice users.
