“…Although comparisons to values in the literature are again difficult ͑differences among computational methods for NSR measures being particularly inscrutable and vexing; see Buder, 2000͒, many authors' claims about group differences or treatment effects rest on NSR differences that may be imperceptible. For example, Su et al ͑2002͒ found statistically significant differences in pre-and postsurgical NSR values of 0.12 dB; Jotz et al ͑2002͒ reported that each increase of 0.01 dB in the NSR doubled the risk of dysphonia in a sample of boys with and without vocal-fold lesions; and Niedzielska ͑2001͒ found differences in NSRs between control subjects and various diagnostic groups ranging from 2.7 to 14.2 dB. Further research examining the perceptual interactions between the harmonic and inharmonic parts of the voicing source should contribute to standardizing NSR measures so that they reflect vocal quality as accurately as possible.…”

“…O grupo de DOF apresentou tipo de voz ruidosa significativamente maior do que o grupo de DFUIV (Tabela 7), sugerindo que, quando a patologia já está instalada, a tendência à soprosidade (dificuldade de fechamento glótico), à rouquidão (aperiodicidade vibratória), e à aspereza (rigidez da mucosa ou do sistema fonatório) são maiores devido às caracterís-ticas biomecânicas alteradas das pregas vocais em presença da lesão 13 . Nos pacientes com patologia laríngea, constataram-se também maiores índices de perturbação ciclo-a-ciclo da freqüência (jitter), e da intensidade (shimmer), e aumento de ruído gló-tico, sendo o shimmer mais relacionado à redução de resistência glótica e, consequentemente, à soprosidade e o jitter à rouquidão e aspereza vocais 13,21,39,41 . Tais afirmações estão de acordo com os resultados de um estudo, no qual foram avaliados 70 pacientes portadores de nódulos vocais, no qual a queixa principal encontrada em 96,4% foi a rouquidão 32 .…”

“…Because the patients with MTD usually complain of neck or shoulder tightness, circumlaryngeal massage is often useful for diagnosis and treatment. On the other hand, children are frequently unaware that their voices are significantly different from those of their peers [13]. They rarely report any discomfort or tightness around the neck and/or shoulder.…”
