The periodic repetitions of laryngeal adduction and abduction gestures were uttered by 16 subjects. The movement of the cuneiform tubercles was tracked over time in the laryngoscopic recordings of these utterances. The adduction velocity and abduction velocity were determined objectively by means of a piecewise linear model fitted to the cuneiform tubercle trajectories. The abduction was found to be significantly faster than the adduction. This was
interpreted in terms of the biomechanics and active control by the nervous system. The biomechanical properties could be responsible for a velocity of abduction that is up to 51% higher compared to the velocity of adduction. Additionally, the adduction velocity may be actively limited to prevent an overshoot of the intended adduction degree when the vocal folds are approximated to initiate phonation.
