| Research Abstract |
It is so difficult for speech therapist to diagnose functional voice disorder with no abnormality in the vocal cords. The various methods of differential diagnosis for functional voice disorder have been studied by speech therapist in the past, for example, acoustic voice analysis and aerodynamic analysis and laryngeal inspection. However, no consensuses exist among each measurement. Speech therapist has had to be based on the comprehensive evaluation. We have developed a new diagnostic method performed easily in clinical settings without relying on clinical experience of speech therapist. One of them is a self-perceptual scale for patients with functional voice disorder; another is alternativetongue movement.
