The aim of this study was to recommend protocols for instrumental assessment of voice production in the areas of laryngeal endoscopic imaging, acoustic analyses, and aerodynamic procedures, which will (a) improve the evidence for voice assessment measures, (b) enable valid comparisons of assessment results within and across clients and facilities, and (c) facilitate the evaluation of treatment efficacy.
Existing evidence was combined with expert consensus in areas with a lack of evidence. In addition, a survey of clinicians and a peer review of an initial version of the protocol via VoiceServe and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's Special Interest Group 3 (Voice and Voice Disorders) Community were used to create the recommendations for the final protocols.
The protocols include recommendations regarding technical specifications for data acquisition, voice and speech tasks, analysis methods, and reporting of results for instrumental evaluation of voice production in the areas of laryngeal endoscopic imaging, acoustics, and aerodynamics.
The recommended protocols for instrumental assessment of voice using laryngeal endoscopic imaging, acoustic, and aerodynamic methods will enable clinicians and researchers to collect a uniform set of valid and reliable measures that can be compared across assessments, clients, and facilities.
本研究旨在为喉镜影像学、声学分析和空气动力学程序中的嗓音产生的仪器评估推荐方案，这将：(a) 提高嗓音评估措施的证据水平，(b) 使在客户和设施内部和之间进行评估结果的有效比较成为可能，(c) 便于评估治疗效果。
在缺乏证据的领域，将现有证据与专家共识相结合。此外，通过 VoiceServe 和美国言语语言听力协会特别兴趣小组 3（语音和语音障碍）社区对临床医生进行了调查，并对协议初稿进行了同行评议，从而为最终方案制定了建议。
该方案包括关于数据采集、语音和言语任务、分析方法以及喉内窥镜成像、声学和空气动力学领域嗓音产生的仪器评估结果报告的技术规格的建议。
使用喉镜影像学、声学和空气动力学方法对嗓音进行仪器评估的推荐方案将使临床医生和研究人员能够收集一套统一的有效且可靠的测量方法，这些方法可以在评估、客户和设施之间进行比较。
