Phonation

disease (Duffy, 2005, p. 190). Several systems are affected in the population of Parkinson’s disease. These systems include cognition, phonation, articulation, language, and respiration. When cognition is affected, it is difficult for people with PD to think quickly, follow internal cues, or understand complex sentences (Friederici et al., 1999). In terms of phonation,

client was only able to sustain breath support for approximately ten seconds. In addition, the client produced a weak and soft cough, in which she indicated difficulty to supply the air required. However, these deficits may be more indicative of phonation and prosody deficits that result from the hyperadduction of the vocal folds opposed to respiratory deficits. Thus, further information is required in order to report true respiratory deficits, as respiratory deficits less frequently occur in spastic

degenerative diseases, strokes, toxic and metabolic conditions. The damage causes paralysis, weakness, or lack of coordination of the the muscles involved in articulating speech, which results in reduced intelligibility. Dysarthria affects the respiration, phonation, resonance, prosody, and articulation of speech. Spastic dysarthria; results from a lesion in the upper motor neurons and causes spasticity of the muscles. A lesion in on the lower motor neurons resulting

the rate of speech for an apraxic may increase, the intelligibility of that person's speech may actually increase (csuchico). Differences in speech sounds between both apraxia and dysarthria might transpire as well. In dysarthria articulation, phonation, resonance, prosody, rate and respiration, may be affected by dysarthria too. Dysphagia may oftentimes coincide with dysarthria as well. However, for apraxic people vowels are much easier to produce than consonant while single consonants are easier

Cranial Nerves: CN I: Able to correctly identify scents bilaterally. CN II: Vision 20/20 OS, 20/20 OD, full visual fields intact. Red reflex present bilaterally. Optic disc is 1.5 mm, round, well-defined margins, creamy pink with paler cup. CN III, IV, and VI: Full extraocular movements intact. No ptosis or nystagmus noted bilaterally. Pupils equally round, react to light and accommodation (PERRLA) CN V: Temporal and masseter muscles contact bilaterally. Able to identify light, sharp, dull touch

J.R. The Boy that Enjoyed to Learn My observation was at Lincoln Elementary School, located at 221 Cross Street, Harrison, New Jersey. I observed an atypical child in the Kindergarten Inclusion Classroom, in which had a teacher aide Collen Sawyer, a general teacher, and a teacher aide assistant. The classroom has seven students with special needs participating in a Least Restrictive Environment with 14 students without disabilities. The classroom was ample with reading area, dramatic area, science

The voice is an individual’s main mode of communicating his or her wants, needs, and emotions among other things. Each individual’s voice is different, depending on whether the individual is male or female, and ranges in pitch and loudness. The voice is something that defines an individual as a person by helping shape the person’s overall personality and attitude. However, there are many factors that may cause an individual’s voice to be affected. According to Verdolini and colleagues (2006), the

Therapy exercises include “exercises to increase vocal fold adduction… and drills to provide practice in sustaining maximum duration phonation and maximum fundamental frequency range” (Elefant et al., 2012, p. 25). The Music Therapy Voice Protocol (MTVP) is a treatment technique based off of the LSVT. Each session lasts 60 minutes and includes conversation at the beginning and end of the

A large proportion of teachers are at risk of developing voice disorders when compared to the general population. Vocally abusive behaviors and continued strain on the vocal mechanism can have a significant impact on teachers’ ability to maintain professional careers, while potentially influencing the quality of education they provide. Several researchers have studied the effectiveness of indirect versus direct training approaches, as well as combination approaches employing both indirect and direct

How Electric Guitars Changed the Music World. The Guitar is the single most popular music instrument in the cosmos today, but that wasn’t the case in the 1920’s and thirty ’s. Back then, it was a minority instrument, suppressed in popularity by the banjo and the mandolin in the stringed and Greek key kinsfolk . Guitars were frequently included in larger dancing orchestra ; they just had trouble being herd much beyond a choppy rhythm at the vertebral column of the stage. In order to get in the spot
