The velo-impedancemetry. A new technique for dynamic study of soft palate.
Using a slightly modified electro-glottograph, we designed a device for the registration of soft palate movements. Correlating such curves with corresponding phonogram and physio-pathological data, we have been able to define an iconographic semiology, which may be useful in the functional pathology of the soft palate and indications of uvulo-pharyngoplasty for snoring.
