AI Article Synopsis
- Videolaryngostroboscopy (VLS) is the top method for assessing voice disorders, but it doesn't work well for patients with irregular vocal fold waveforms.
- Videokymography (VKG) is a high-speed imaging technique that provides real-time data on vocal fold vibrations, making it useful for detecting both regular and irregular voice disorders.
- This study investigates the clinical value of VKG as a complementary tool to VLS for assessing voice disorders, aiming to improve diagnosis and monitoring of vocal fold behavior.
Article Abstract
Videolaryngostroboscopy (VLS) is considered gold standard method for assessing voice disorders. But patients with irregular waveform of vocal folds cannot benefit from the VLS. Videokymography [VKG] is a single line real time, high speed imaging technique. It detects voice disorders based on vocal fold vibration characteristics whether the vibrations are regular or irregular. There is no standard clinical protocol or evidence on the clinical relevance of VKG for functional assessment of voice disorders. Since mechanism of voice production depends on vibration characteristics, VKG imaging leads to new possibilities for diagnosis, objective documentation and monitoring of vocal fold behavior in clinical practice in case of voice disorders. This study aims to evaluate clinical value of VKG in addition to VLS as a complementary tool for the assessment of voice disorder.
