Effects of Biofeedback on Vocal Behavior on a Child with a Unilateral Vocal Fold Lesion

Lucht, Anna, Boggs, Emily, Garland, Emily, McClain, Brittany, Nanjundeswaran (Guntupalli), Chaya D. 07 April 2016 (has links)
At any given time, 3-9% of the general population experiences a voice problem. The incidence of voice disorders in children can vary anywhere between 6 and 23%, yet, only 2-4% of the population are seen by speech-language pathologists for further assessment and treatment. Voice disorders have negative effects on the social, emotional, and physical functioning of the child. Unfortunately, there is little known about the appropriate management of children with voice disorders. Depending on the nature of the voice disorder, different approaches, including behavioral voice therapy, vocal hygiene management, or medical intervention, are available. However, a concern with behavioral voice therapy is the ability of the child to transfer skills learned in clinic to an outside setting - limiting generalization and adaptation of the new behavioral approach. Biofeedback has been successfully used in adults with voice disorders to help generalize new vocal behaviors. Such data is lacking in the treatment of voice problems in the pediatric population. The current case study aimed to understand the use of biofeedback in an eight-year-old male who was diagnosed with a unilateral vocal fold lesion, who exhibited difficulty maintaining and generalizing his new vocal behaviors. It was hypothesized that the child would benefit from biofeedback and would maintain new vocal behaviors including the use of a safe and efficient voice pattern outside the clinic setting. Longitudinal data on vocal parameters including the pitch, loudness, and vocal fold vibration were obtained over a period of five weeks using an ambulation phonation monitor (APM). The APM uses an accelerometer attached to the sternal notch and measures pitch, loudness, and vocal fold vibration, which helps determine an individual’s daily voice use pattern and thereby determines the appropriate biofeedback setting. The five week period included (a) a week of pretesting, (b) two weeks of biofeedback, (c) a week of post-testing immediately following the week of biofeedback, and (d) a generalization testing two months post-study. During the five-week period, vocal parameters were monitored for an average of 7- 10 hours for 2-3 days each week. On weeks two and three, the child was provided with biofeedback on loudness levels based on his data from the pretesting week. Results indicated change in vocal parameters including loudness and vocal fold vibration patterns during the weeks of biofeedback. However, such generalization was not observed neither during immediate post feedback monitoring nor two months following the study protocol. Such data provide immediate effects from biofeedback on vocal behavior, however, motor learning principles, dose, and frequency of biofeedback will be discussed to further understand the long-term effects of biofeedback in children with voice problems.

Vocal Fatigue- Role of Aerobic Conditioning in Metabolic Cost and Recovery from Reading

Nanjundeswaran (Guntupalli), Chaya D., VanSwearingen, Jessie, Verdolini Abbott, Katherine 13 November 2015 (has links)
Vocal fatigue is among the most debilitating conditions affecting individuals with voice disorders, with little known about its actual metabolic mechanisms. The current study aims to address this issue by investigating the hypothesis that neuromuscular inefficiency, cardiovascular recovery deficits, or both, may play a role in vocal fatigue.

Teleducação: criação e verificação de um material educacional na língua inglesa e portuguesa em fonoaudiologia / Teleducation: development and evaluation of an educational material in English and Portuguese languages on speech-language pathology and audiology

Fanton, Cássia de Souza Pardo 26 September 2013 (has links)
A atualização e o avanço em novas propostas de ensino, com o auxilio da Teleducação Interativa, se tornam uma necessidade eminente nos dias atuais. Com base nessas propostas, o Departamento de Fonoaudiologia da Faculdade de Odontologia de Bauru (FOB-USP) vem trabalhando no desenvolvimento de materiais educacionais numa abordagem mais abrangente de Educação em Saúde. Dessa forma, esta pesquisa teve como proposta desenvolver e avaliar um website educacional em Fonoaudiologia nas Línguas Portuguesa e Inglesa, a partir do conteúdo atualizado e traduzido do CD-ROM Voz: fonoaudiologia e medicina, volume 1, do Projeto Homem Virtual, criado em 2006. Este estudo foi desenvolvido a partir de dois processos, sendo que, no primeiro foi produzido o website nas Línguas Portuguesa e Inglesa e, no segundo, foi realizada a avaliação do mesmo. O website foi desenvolvido com o mesmo layout do CD-ROM e com a mesma dinâmica de apresentação do conteúdo, porém, adequado para o formato online. Para isso foi necessário desenvolver, com o apoio da Disciplina de Telemedicina da USP, os vídeos do Homem Virtual com a produção dos fonemas em Língua Inglesa e gravar o áudio das produções de um nativo americano, como também organizar o conteúdo inserido em ambas as línguas, preservando as especificidades de cada uma. A avaliação ocorreu por meio da aplicação de um questionário desenvolvido especificamente para este estudo, que verificou a qualidade técnica e científica do website. Participaram da avaliação oito especialistas brasileiros, sendo quatro da área de Fonoaudiologia e quatro de Letras para avaliar o website em Língua Portuguesa e, um profissional da área de Fonoaudiologia nativo norte-americano para avaliar o material em Língua Inglesa, todos contaram com um período de 20 dias para acessar e avaliar o material. Os pesquisadores brasileiros avaliaram o website como um eficaz material educacional, considerando que a média de respostas para cada seção não foi menor que 4,2 e a nota máxima a ser atribuída era 5. Também, 38% dos avaliadores consideraram que o website permanecerá por três anos atualizado, uma boa avaliação para objetos de aprendizagem online. Apenas um pesquisador americano respondeu à pesquisa, sendo que para esse avaliador, o website em Língua Inglesa se mostrou como um excelente material educacional, considerando-o atualizado nos próximos cinco anos. É possível concluir que foi possível desenvolver o website nas Línguas Portuguesa e Inglesa em Fonoaudiologia e a avaliação das versões brasileira e americana verificou que o mesmo é eficiente técnico e cientificamente. Porém, novas avaliações serão necessárias para garantir a qualidade e efetividade do website também na versão americana. / The update and improvement of new teaching proposals, supported by Interactive Teleducation, have become an eminent necessity these days. Based on these proposals, the Department of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology of the Bauru School of Dentistry (FOB-USP) has been working on the development of educational materials in a more dynamic approach of Health Education. Thereby, this study aimed to develop and evaluate a bilingual educational website in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology from content of the CD-ROM Voice: Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology and Medicine, volume 1, created in 2006. This study was developed in two processes: first, the website was created in both languages and then, it was analyzed. The website maintained the CD-ROM layout and the same dynamic of present the content, although, fitted to online format, so it was necessary to develop, with the support of the Telemedicine Discipline of USP, Virtual Man videos of the phonemes in English and to record the audio of them from a native-American speaker production, thus, it was demanded to organized the content in both languages to ensure that the specificity of each was preserved. The evaluation was carried out applying a questionnaire created for this study which verified the scientific and technical quality of the website. Participated on the evaluation eight Brazilian specialists, being four of Speech-Language and Hearing Sciences and four of Portuguese area to evaluate the content in Portuguese and one native-American professionals of Speech-Language Pathology to analyze the content in English, all of them had a 20-day period to access and evaluate the material. The Brazilian researchers evaluated the website as an efficient educational material, since the average of answers for each section was not inferior to 4.2 and the maximum score to be given was 5. Also, 38% of the evaluators considered the website to be updated for three years, a good assessment to online learning objects. Only one American researcher answered the questionnaire, according to this evaluator, the website in English is as an excellent educational material, considering it to be updated for five years. It can be conclude that it was possible to develop the website in Portuguese and in English on Speech-Language and Hearing Sciences and the evaluation of the Brazilian and American versions verified that it is efficient technical and scientifically. However, further evaluations are necessary in order to ensure the quality and effectiveness in the American version.

Cuidado em saúde e arte na percepção de estudantes de fonoaudiologia / Healthcare and arts as perceived by speech-language pathology students

Costa, Tarcila Lima da 08 August 2016 (has links)
No âmbito do Cuidado em Saúde, a Arte tem sido vista como potencial meio para a sensibilização de estudantes e profissionais implicados na prática de cuidado. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo principal investigar e analisar a percepção de estudantes de fonoaudiologia a respeito das relações entre cuidado em saúde e arte. O estudo ocorreu de forma interdisciplinar e intersetorial, a partir da proposta de experiência da Sala de Arte durante o Programa de Fonoterapia Intensiva (PFI) para correção de alterações de fala relacionadas à fissura labiopalatina e disfunção velofaríngea. Para tanto foram traçados os seguintes objetivos específicos: 1- Descrever as atividades realizadas na Sala de Arte no PFI e 2 Identificar registros que emergiram da experiência proposta pela Sala de Arte que abordem concepções e reflexões a respeito dos seguintes aspectos (analisadores): a) cuidado em saúde; b) arte; c) arte como cuidado; d) cuidado como arte. O estudo de características qualitativas valeu-se da cartografia associada à análise documental, tendo como objeto de pesquisa os registros produzidos por estudantes o curso de graduação em fonoaudiologia durante a ocorrência da Sala de Arte. Sustentados por princípios da arte-educação, os dados produzidos foram organizados considerando os analisadores propostos para este estudo e em seguida categorizados e confrontados com bibliografia pertinente. De acordo com os resultados, a percepção dos estudantes indica que há em sua formação, predomínio do caráter hegemônico, centrado em produção de procedimentos. Os resultados também indicam haver carência de espaços voltados para o diálogo, para a reflexão sobre sua prática de cuidado, assim como, espaços de escuta e interpretação, no âmbito da integralidade. Conclui-se assim, que a proposta de experiência da Sala de Arte, oportunizou espaço aos estudantes para reflexão a respeito de cuidado em saúde e arte, dessa forma contribuindo para sua percepção e prática de saúde de forma integral e sensível. / When considering Healthcare, Art has been proposed as a tool to prepare students and professional to implement more effective and sustainable actions in health. The present study had the objectives of investigating and analyzing the perception of Speech-Language Pathology Students regarding to the relationship between healthcare and art. This proposal was conducted in an interdisciplinary and intersectoral way within the Arts Room experience, during the Intensive Speech Therapy Program (ISTP) for correction of speech disorders related to cleft lip and palate and velopharyngeal dysfunction. The following specific objectives were addressed: 1- To describe the activities conducted in the Arts Room at the ISTP and 2- To identify the written records registered by the students while experiencing the Arts Room, that addressed the following aspects (analysers): a) healthcare; b) arts; c) arts as healthcare; d) healthcare as art. The qualitative feature study was based in cartography associated to documental analysis, using as research subject records of Speech-Language Pathology students within the Arts Room. Supported by the principle of art-education, the produced data has being organized considering proposed analyzers for this study and then categorized and confronted with pertinent literature. The findings indicate that the students are prepared within a hegemonic model with emphasis in procedures. There is a lack of spaces focused on the dialogical interaction, to reflect on their care practice, as well as listening and interpretation spaces, at comprehensive health scope. The Arts Room experience, therefore, provided opportunities to the students to think about healthcare and art, contributing for their health perception and practice in a whole, sensitive manner.

Avaliação do website \'Voice assessment: speech-language pathology and audiology & medicine\', volume 1 - do Projeto Homem Virtual - no contexto de ensino e aprendizagem da língua inglesa / Evaluation of the website Voice assessment: speech-language pathology and audiology & medicine, volume 1 Virtual Man Project in the context of English language learning and teaching

Belam, Patricia Viana 21 February 2014 (has links)
Acompanhando a crescente utilização de tecnologias de informática nas áreas da educação e saúde, com base nas propostas do EAD, foi desenvolvido, em 2013, o website Voz: fonoaudiologia e medicina, versão em língua inglesa norte-americana, a partir do CD-ROM Voz: fonoaudiologia e medicina, do Projeto Homem Virtual, volume 1, elaborado em 2006, em uma parceria entre a Universidade de São Paulo e a Universidade Federal de São Paulo. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo a avaliação de sua eficácia como instrumento educacional, em relação aos aspectos cognitivos e subjetivos, no contexto de ensino de língua inglesa, mais especificamente no ensino de sua pronúncia, constituindo a fase final do projeto multicêntrico de desenvolvimento e avaliação do website. Os participantes desta pesquisa foram 30 alunos, sendo 15 do Curso de Letras e 15 do Curso de Tradutor da Universidade do Sagrado Coração, na cidade de Bauru, SP, que cursavam a disciplina denominada Fonética e Fonologia da Língua Inglesa, ministrada pela própria pesquisadora. O grupo de 30 alunos foi dividido em dois grupos iguais de 15 alunos, denominados Grupo Experimental (GE), aquele que fez uso do website como material complementar à disciplina, e o Grupo Controle (GC), que não fez uso do website. A coleta de dados foi feita por meio da aplicação de dois questionários, que reuniram dados relativos aos aspectos cognitivos - o Questionário anterior ao acesso do website e o Questionário posterior ao acesso do website, bem como do preenchimento da Ficha de Pesquisa Motivacional após o estudo. Foram utilizados, para o acesso ao website, três meios diferentes: tablet, smartphone e computador. Para a comparação entre os grupos, considerando cada questão e o número de acertos de cada aluno, foram aplicados o teste exato de Fisher e o Teste T Pareado, respectivamente. Para a comparação entre os diferentes meios de acesso ao website foi aplicada a Análise de Variância seguida do teste de Tukey. Após o estudo do website, os resultados revelam que o GE apresentou melhor desempenho em todas as questões em relação ao GC, bem como maior número de acertos por participante em relação às questões dos questionários. No que diz respeito aos meios de acesso, não houve diferença estatisticamente significante para a comparação entre os três meios quando considerou-se a diferença entre o número de acertos nos questionários pré e pós. No que se refere à avaliação dos aspectos subjetivos, aferida pela Ficha de Pesquisa Motivacional, a análise dos dados revelou um website Impressionante. Dessa forma, o website mostrou-se eficaz como instrumento educacional considerando-se tanto sua avaliação relativa aos aspectos cognitivos quanto aos subjetivos, independentemente dos meios de acesso utilizados. São sugeridas, todavia, novas pesquisas, a fim de expandir a utilização e avaliar a eficácia do website em outros contextos de ensino de língua inglesa, com vistas a conferir a esse instrumento educacional a distância uma qualidade e eficácia ainda maiores. / Following the increasing use of computer technologies in the areas of education and health, based on Distance Education proposals, the website Voice assessment: speech-language pathology and audiology & medicine was developed, based on the Portuguese version of the CD-ROM Voice assessment: speech-language pathology and audiology & medicine, Virtual Man Project, volume 1, developed in 2006, in a partnership between the University of São Paulo (USP) and the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP). In this sense, this research aimed at evaluating its efficacy as an educational instrument concerning its cognitive and subjective aspects, in the context of English language teaching, more specifically in pronunciation teaching, being the last phase of the multicenter research project responsible for the website development and evaluation. 30 students participated in this research 15 from the Languages Teaching Course and 15 from the Translator Course at University of Sagrado Coração, in the city of Bauru, who were studying the subject English Phonetics and Phonology, whose teacher was the researcher. The group of 30 students was divided into 2 equal groups of 15 students, called Experimental Group which made use of the website as a complementary material for the subject, and the Control Group - which did not use the website. Data collection was carried out by means of two questionnaires, which gathered data related to the cognitive aspects the Pre-website Questionnaire and the Post-website Questionnaire, besides the Motivational Research Form, after the study. Three different means were used to access the website: tablet, smartphone and computer. For the comparison between the groups, considering each question and the number of right answers from each participant, the Fishers Exact Test and the Paired T- Test were used, respectively. For the comparison among the three different website access means, the Analysis of Variance was used followed by the Tukey Test. After the website study, results showed that the Experimental Group had a better performance in all the questions in relation to the Control Group, as well as a greater number of right answers per participant to the questions in the questionnaires. As to the access means, there was no significant statistical difference in the comparison among the three means when the difference between the number of right answers in the pre and post-website questionnaires was considered. In relation to the evaluation concerning the subjective aspects, assessed by the Motivational Research Form, data analysis revealed an Impressive website. Thus, the website showed efficacy as an educational instrument in relation to its evaluation both regarding the cognitive and the subjective aspects, independently of the means used. Nevertheless, further research is suggested aiming at expanding the use and evaluating the efficacy of the website in other contexts of English teaching in order to grant this Distance Education instrument greater quality and efficacy.
