Relative fundamental frequency (RFF) has been investigated as an acoustic measure to assess for changes in laryngeal tension. This study aimed to assess RFF in individuals with globus syndrome, individuals with muscle tension dysphagia (MTDg), and individuals with typical voices.
RFF values were calculated from the speech acoustics of individuals with globus syndrome (n = 12), individuals with MTDg (n = 12), and age- and sex-matched controls with typical voices (n = 24). An analysis of variance was performed on RFF values to assess the effect of group.
There was no statistically significant effect of group on RFF values, with similar values for individuals with globus syndrome, individuals with MTDg, and control participants.
These results suggest that individuals with these disorders do not appear to possess paralaryngeal muscle tension in a locus and/or manner that directly impacts voice production.
相对基频(RFF)已被研究作为评估喉张力变化的声学测量指标。本研究旨在评估球囊综合征患者、肌肉紧张性吞咽障碍(MTDg)患者和正常嗓音者的 RFF。
从球囊综合征患者(n=12)、MTDg 患者(n=12)和年龄、性别匹配的正常嗓音者(n=24)的语音声学中计算 RFF 值。对 RFF 值进行方差分析,以评估组间的影响。
RFF 值在组间无统计学意义的影响,球囊综合征患者、MTDg 患者和对照组参与者的 RFF 值相似。
这些结果表明,这些疾病患者的喉旁肌肉张力似乎没有以直接影响发声的位置和/或方式存在。
