Assessment of the effect of supine posture and phonation on modified mallampati grading and its applicability in prediction of difficult airway

Journal of Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, 2018
Introduction: As it is not always possible to do Modified Mallampati Test (MMT) in sitting position, this study was designed to test the effect of supine position and phonation on classical MMT and use of such effect in predicting difficult ...

Registers in Infant Phonation [PDF]

Journal of Voice, 2019
The primary vocal registers of modal, falsetto, and fry have been studied in adults but not per se in infancy. The vocal ligament is thought to play a critical role in the modal-falsetto contrast but is still developing during infancy (Tateya and Tateya, 2015).41 Cover tissues are also implicated in the modal-fry contrast, but the low fundamental ...

Effect of Phonation Type on Maximum Phonation Time

Journal of Voice
Maximum phonation time (MPT) is commonly used as an indication of phonatory function. However, MPT varies considerably depending on several factors, for instance, laryngeal valving, ie, the completeness of glottal closure. This parameter is closely related to phonation type, which can vary along the continuum between weak and firm glottal adduction ...
