An analysis of stroboscopic variations in a normal sample has been created. To most sub-specialized laryngologists and voice therapists, the results confirm primarily anecdotal experience concerning the nature of the various stroboscopic findings. The analysis provides epidemiologic data inferring the normalcy, or likelihood of pathology, of non-symmetric stroboscopic variations, thus providing evidence in support of intervention, or observation. This analysis may serve as a foundation, promoting further analyses of targeted populations for further epidemiological, normative, and descriptive purposes. For many otolaryngologists just beginning to use videostroboscopy, this analysis illustrates the wide range of normal variations, and provides a reference point from which presumed abnormal findings may be compared. For the voice researcher, the results may encourage modeling of common stroboscopic variations, to provide a more accurate representation of the intricate and complex physiology of normal voice production.
