[A study of the phenomenon of voice intonation: analysis, usage and diagnosis].
The aim of this work was to study the average rise time (RT) and average flow rate (MRT) in utterance. Data were collected from 48 singers and 44 patients. The group of patients included cases of modulus vocale, polypus laryngis, paresis bilateralis, hemiparesis, and CA laryngis. Various characteristics of utterance were recorded synchronously: the frequency and intensity of the fundamental laryngeal tone were measured with a laryngophone, a microphone was used to monitor acoustic radiation from the mouth, and a pneumotrachometer was applied for the measurement of flow rate. The data were stored and analysed with the use of a computer. Results show that the analysis carried out in the study describes the distinctive characteristics of normal and pathologic utterance. The main findings are as follows: a) rise time (RT) decreases with increasing loudness and pitch of the sound and is also shorter in staccato than inlegato sounds; b) during the initial transient of staccato sounds, the average flow rate in the glottis increases with intensity and pitch of the sound; c) pre-fonation time (TPP) and air volume do not differentiate normal and pathologic utterance; d) in cases of voice pathology, the analysis of utterance described in this study can be used for the evaluation of therapy and rehabilitation.
