Distribution of phonation and pause durations in fluent speech and stutterers speech

Archives of Acoustics, 2014
This work is a fragment of investigations into an objective method of evaluation of speech fluency. The paper presents statistical distributions of phonation and pause durations in utterances of stutterers speaking with a simultaneous auditory feedback ...

A possible common physical principle that underlies animal vocalization: theoretical considerations with an unsteady airflow-structure interaction model

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2016
We previously described an analytical model regarding how human falsetto voice is produced upon interaction between the respiratory airflow and vocal fold motion.

Preferences for post‐traumatic osteoarthritis prevention strategies in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament injury

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives There is growing interest in evaluating new strategies to delay or prevent post‐traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) in individuals who have sustained anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. This study sought to determine characteristics of potential treatments that are acceptable to patients with ACL injury.

Impact of Positive Lifestyle Behaviors on Direct Health Care Cost Savings for Low Back Pain

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study aimed to investigate the relationship between a previously purpose‐developed lifestyle behavior scale and health care cost savings related to low back pain (LBP). Methods This longitudinal study used data from the Australian Twin Back (AUTBACK) study. LBP and lifestyle behavior measures were collected at baseline. Physical activity

Comparison of Aerodynamic and Elastic Properties in Tissue and Synthetic Models of Vocal Fold Vibrations

Bioengineering
Three laryngeal models were used to investigate the aerodynamic and elastic properties of vocal fold vibration: cadaveric human, excised canine, and synthetic silicone vocal folds. The aim was to compare the characteristics of these models to enhance our

Use of surface electromyography in phonation studies: an integrative review

International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2013
Summary Introduction: Surface electromyography has been used to assess the extrinsic laryngeal muscles during chewing and swallowing, but there have been few studies assessing these muscles during phonation.

Testing A Personalized Approach to Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Older Veterans

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective We aimed to test the efficacy of personalized treatment of older Veterans with chronic low back pain (CLBP) delivered by Aging Back Clinics (ABC) as compared with usual care (UC). Methods Two hundred ninety‐nine Veterans age 65‐89 with CLBP from 3 VA medical centers underwent baseline testing, randomization to ABC or UC and 12 months follow ...
