“…, Ma and Yiu , Rodriguez‐Parra et al . ), and examination of correlations between TVQ MtF scores and other measures of voice would provide further information about the validity of the TVQ MtF . The magnitude of associations between various methods of voice assessment yields important information about the shared variance of these measures.…”

“…The published literature shows that patients submitted to speech therapy for dysphonia present vocal stability after six months to two years of follow-up (12)(13)(14) . In a study that analyzed the presence of vocal and/or physical symptoms and the self-perception of voice, in a group of 39 teachers of municipal schools by means of a semi-structured interview, a low presence of vocal and/or physical symptoms was observed among the professionals, and most of the participants reported positive vocal self-perception, so no relation between time of discharge and the studied variables was observed (15) .…”

DescritoresTo evaluate the long-term effects of voice therapy on the life quality of teachers who were discharged or abandoned the voice therapy for dysphonia. Methods: This was a longitudinal study based on analysis of assessments with teachers of municipal schools in Belo Horizonte, who were referred to voice therapy and were discharged or abandoned the speechlanguage therapy for more than six months. A total of 33 teachers in the discharged group and 20 teachers in the abandoned group were contacted by phone and invited to participate in the study by answering the Voice activity and participation profile, which was forwarded to the researchers and sent via letter. Results: At the moment of the pre speech therapy, the discharged and abandoned groups were homogeneous, except in relation to daily communication parameter. Comparing the discharged group in the pre and post speech-language therapy, it was showed improvements in social communication parameter as well as in the total score. The discharged group presented worsening in self-perception parameter when comparing the average values in the post therapy and current moments, and the group abandoned presented worsening in work, social communication and total score when comparing to the average values in the pre therapy and current moments. The discharged and abandoned groups differ in the present moment in all investigated parameters. Conclusion: Speech-language therapy for dysphonia have long term positive effects on life quality and voice of teachers who were soon discharged from the therapy and in a period of two years on average. Teachers who have abandoned treatment and did not obtain improvement in the voice showed negative impact in life quality and voice in a time of 2 years and 2 months on average. RESUMOObjetivo: Avaliar os efeitos em longo prazo da fonoterapia na qualidade de vida de professoras que receberam alta ou abandonaram o tratamento fonoaudiológico para disfonia. Métodos: Tratou-se de um estudo longitudinal baseado na análise das avaliações realizadas com docentes da rede municipal de ensino de Belo Horizonte, encaminhados para fonoterapia, que tiveram alta ou abandonaram o tratamento fonoaudiológico há mais de seis meses. Participaram 33 professoras no grupo alta e 20 no grupo abandono que foram contatadas, por meio de ligações telefônicas, e convidadas a responder ao protocolo Perfil de participação em atividades vocais, enviado e reencaminhado às pesquisadoras por meio de carta. Resultados: No momento pré-fonoterapia, os grupos alta e abandono eram homogêneos, exceto em relação ao parâmetro comunicação diária. Na comparação do grupo alta nos momentos pré e pós-fonoterapia observou-se melhora no parâmetro comunicação social e no escore total. O grupo alta apresentou piora no parâmetro autopercepção na comparação das médias nos momentos pós-fonoterapia e atual, e no grupo abandono houve piora nos parâmetros trabalho, comunicação social e no escore total na comparação das médias pré-fonoterapia e atual. Os grupos alta e abandono apresentara...

“…This design follows the structure proposed by the protocols (Teatinos) as well as other internationally accepted standards such as VHI (Rodríguez et al Rodríguez-Parra et al [2009]), Dejonkere (ELS), all assumed by the SEORL (Spanish Society of Otorhinolaryngology and Cervico-facial Pathology) (Nuñez Batalla, Núñez [2007]) in its Basic Protocol for the functional evaluation of vocal pathology. The Basic Protocol proposes five basic steps: subjective analysis, perceptual analysis, acoustic analysis, aerodynamic analysis and stroboscopy.…”

The development of computer software and other technologies greatly facilitates the evaluation of pathological voice patients. This fact allows to reduce exploration time, improves the reproducibility of results and creates the possibility of test protocol standardization needed for the intercommunication between the different voice specialists. The proposed application encompasses the most important aspects which should be taken into account regarding dysphonic patients. It is a multidimensional scope which involves subjective questionnaires and perceptual, aerodynamic, acoustic and stroboscopic evaluations. In this system, the authors have designed and created simple tools for recording and automatic acoustic analysis for the acquisition and edition of stroboscopic images. The purpose is to work with all necessary tools running on a single application, without having to export and import data from other computer programs. Therefore, the objective is to synthetize the basic voice and the exploration of the vocal folds, simplifying it through the design of a program which helps us to analyze step-by-step each aspect of the vocal pathology. The evaluation of the tool has been performed by the otolaryngologists through periodical (medical) appointments on 25 patients for one year a year, and the results are promising either for the professionals as well as for the patients which receive a detailed report with the objective information concerning the features of their voice and vocal cords.
