Vocal Fold Vibratory Characteristics of Healthy Geriatric Females-Analysis of High-Speed Digital Images

摘要

Objectives/Hypothesis. A high proportion of the geriatric population suffers from presbylaryngis and presbyphonia; however, our knowledge of vibratory patterns in this population is almost nonexistent. In this study, we investigate the vocal fold vibratory patterns of healthy elderly females to determine which features or combination of them could best describe the geriatric voices.
