Aerodynamic Measurements of Phonation:
Medidas Aerodinámicas de la Fonación: Theoretical and Clinical Basis
Main Article Content
The present work aimed to provide knowledge about
an objective clinical method for voice assessment to
obtain information about vocal function: aerodynamic
measurement of phonation. This is a retrospectiveobservational
bibliographic study that included
research articles, books, thesis, and dissertations in
English. PubMed, Web of Sciences y Scopus databases
were explored. Scientific journals related to speechlanguage
pathology and phoniatrics were consulted.
Analysis of information was carried out based on three
semantic constructs: a) Physical basis; b) Aerodynamic
measurements of phonation; and c) clinical applications
of aerodynamic measures. Relevant aspects are
presented for each semantic construct, highlighting
authors and explanatory figures to demonstrate clinical
applications of aerodynamic measures of phonation.
The knowledge of these objective measurements allows
a better and deeper understanding of physiologic and
physiopathologic aspects related to the human voice;
pressure, flow, and resistance constitute objective
measures for voice assessment
