The aim of this study is to characterize the aerodynamics measures of subjects with functional dysphonia. By comparing such technique with spectrography and videolaryngoscopy, correlation between these methods and aerodynamic measurements can be evaluated. This prospective study contained 23 dysphonic patients without organic lesions of the larynx. In addition to laryngeal endoscopy, patients were underwent to spectrographic and aerodynamic analysis of the voice. Aerodynamic evaluation demonstrated the possibility of distinguishing between three functional categories: hypofunctional, hyperfunctional and view more»
