Nasalance and nasality at experimental velopharyngeal openings in palatal prosthesis: a case study [PDF]
The use of prosthetic devices for correction of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) is an alternative treatment for patients with conditions that preclude surgery and for those individuals with a hypofunctional velopharynx (HV) with a poor prognosis for ...

Nasometry, Videofluoroscopy, and the Speech Pathologist's Evaluation and Treatment
The speech-language pathologist (SLP) plays an important role in the assessment and management of children with velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI). The SLP assesses speech sound production and oral nasal resonance and identifies the characteristics of nasal air emission to guide the clinical and surgical management of VPI.

Quality of Life Impact of Velopharyngeal Insufficiency: The Role of Social Determinants of Health. [PDF]
This study examined the association between social determinants of health and caregiver‐reported quality of life in children with velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI). Higher socioeconomic status was associated with improved VELO scores, whereas more favorable health/environmental conditions correlated with worse outcomes.

Sphincter Pharyngoplasty for Velopharyngeal Dysfunction: Impact of 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome
Objective Patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DelS) often present with velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD). VPD in patients with 22q11DelS is multifactorial beyond velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) alone, and differences in surgical outcomes are poorly understood.
