Análise comparativa da atividade velofaríngea aferida por rinometria acústica e rinomanometria

Abstract

Acoustic rhinometry had low accuracy as a diagnostic method of VPD when compared to the gold standard method. Nevertheless, the technique shows potential as a method for monitoring the outcomes of clinical and surgical treatment of VPD aimed at increasing velar and pharyngeal activity.

“…In addition to this technique, there are other quantitative evaluations of speech, such as Radiography, Magnetic Resonance, Electromagnetic Articulography, among others. There are also techniques for the analysis of resonance, such as nasometry, pressure-flow technique, acoustic rhinometry and rhinomanometry, nasopharyngoscopy and videofluoroscopy (11) . Nasometry allows the estimation of speech resonance by means of nasalance measurement, a physical quantity that reflects the relative amount of nasal acoustic energy during speech (12) .…”
