This document discusses neurogenic voice disorders. It reviews the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system related to voice production. Damage to lower motor neurons can cause flaccidity of the vocal folds, while upper motor neuron lesions can cause spasticity. Various cranial nerves like the vagus, accessory, and hypoglossal nerves also affect voice. Lesions of the recurrent laryngeal nerve or superior laryngeal nerve impact vocal fold function. Different types of dysarthrias are then outlined, including their causes, symptoms, and treatment approaches.

The use of voice is an integral part of communication; our voice is one of the defining features of our individuality, and it shares a lot of information about you, your voice tells others if you are happy or sad, healthy or unwell, young or old. Our voice can also reveal to others our background, such as the region of the world where we live, and even our social economic status, when a voice produced that perceived by others as unusual or strange and draws attention to the person who is speaking, it is quite likely the person is demonstrating a voice disorder.
So, I am happy to introduce this presentation about Pubertal voice disorders & Puberphonia, I would like this presentation to be useful and add a lot of information on this topic.

• The purposes of the motor speech examination often vary as a function of practice site and the stage of care. Sometimes the priority is to establish the speech diagnosis and its implications for localization and neurologic diagnosis. Under other circumstances, formulating treatment recommendations takes precedence. The emphasis here is on several activities with goals that are relevant to diagnosis. These goals include description, establishing diagnostic possibilities, establishing a diagnosis, establishing implications for localization and disease diagnosis, and specifying severity.
The goal of the dysarthria assessment is to:
1. describe perceptual characteristics of the individual's speech and relevant physiologic findings;
2. describe speech subsystems affected (i.e., articulation, phonation, respiration, resonance, and prosody) and the severity of impairment for each;
3. identify other systems and processes that may be affected (e.g., swallowing, language, cognition); and
4. assess the impact of the dysarthria on speech intelligibility and naturalness, communicative efficiency and effectiveness, and participation.
Establishing diagnostic possibilities such as:
1. Is the problem neurologic?
2. If the problem is not neurologic, is it nonetheless organic or is it psychogenic?
3. If the problem is or is not neurologic, is it recently acquired or longstanding?
4. If the problem is neurologic, is it motor speech disorder or another neurologic disorder that is affecting verbal expression (e.g., aphasia, dementia. etc)?
5. If the problem is speech related, is it a dysarthria or apraxia of speech?
6. If dysarthria is present, then is it developmental or acquired? What is its type? etc...
Establishing a Diagnosis
Once all reasonable diagnostic possibilities have been recognized, a single diagnosis may emerge or at the least, the possibilities may be ordered from most to least likely. For example, concluding that speech is not normal, that it is not psychogenic in origin, and that it is a dysarthria but of undetermined type, is of diagnostic value. It implies the existence of an organic process and places the lesion within motor components of the nervous system. If it also can be concluded that the dysarthria is not flaccid, then the lesion is further localized to the central and not the peripheral nervous system, and certain neurologic diagnoses can be eliminated or considered unlikely. If the characteristics of the disorder are unambiguous and compatible with only a single diagnosis, then a single speech diagnosis can be given along with its implications for localization.

HOW TO BROACH A MUSCLE TENSION DYSPHONIA CASE
Sachender Pal Singh (PGT), Aakanksha Rathor (PGT), Smrity Rupa Borah Dutta
ABSTRACT
Muscle Tension Dysphonia (MTD) is a condition where excessive muscular tension or
muscle misuse is associated with phonation. It has multifactorial etiologies. It can be a
primary or secondary Muscle Tension Dysphonia. While it can affect anyone, sufferers
usually belong to a particular group. It has very serious impact on sufferer's personal, social
& professional life. We are presenting here, our 1 year prospective study done in the
department of Otorhinolaryngology, Silchar Medical College & Hospital from June 2012 to
July 2013. Voice therapy was given to every patient whether primary or secondary muscle
tension dysphonia & Pre therapy-versus-post therapy comparisons were made of selfratings
of Voice Handicap Index, Auditory-Perceptual Ratings, as well as, Visual -
Perceptual Evaluations of laryngeal images. Outcome of voice therapy results in such
patients were found to be very good. As the disease is multifactorial so treatment approach
should be broad based involving multidisciplinary team
Hoarseness, also known as a hoarse voice, is the medical term for disorders of the voice: an impairment in the ability to produce voice sounds using the vocal organs, which is distinct from dysarthria which signifies dysfunction in the muscles needed to produce speech.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

2. Review of the Nervous System
Review your motor speech and anatomy/physiology notes.
Neurotransmitter issues in the CNS can cause hypo- and
hyperkinetic dysarthrias.
Spasticity of vocal folds results from UMN lesions
Flaccidity of VFs and VF paralysis result from LMN lesions
The PNS cranial nerves can have an effect on the voice if
they are damaged:
IX (Glossopharyngeal)—taste, sensation, innervation of pharynx
X (Vagus)—SLN and RLN branches affect sensory and motor
systems related to the pharynx, larynx, and respiratory
structures
XI (Spinal Accessory)—resonance/respiration
XII (Hypoglossal)—resonance and quality of the voice;
positioning of the larynx and tongue
3. SLN and RLN
SLN innervates the
cricothyroid muscles. Recall
that CT contraction lengthens
the VFs and increases pitch
and contribute to VF
adduction.
RLN innervates the
thyroarytenoid, lateral
cricoarytneoid,
transverse/oblique arytenoids,
and the posterior
cricoarytenoid muscles.

6. Unilateral Upper Motor Neuron
Dysarthria
Often due to unilateral lesions in the CNS,
caused by CVAs, tumors, or trauma.
Symptoms include a harsh, strained voice
that may be accompanied by reduced
loudness.
Good breath support is an essential form
of voice therapy for these patients.
7. Hypokinetic Dysarthria
Occurs when there is not enough dopamine to regulate
basal ganglia functioning = Parkinson’s disease.
Physical manifestations include rigidity, bradykinesia,
limited range of motion, and tremor.
Voice symptoms include decreased loudness, breathy
voice, monotone, rapid rushes of speech, and
soft/imprecise consonants.
Bowed vocal folds accompanied by respiration
difficulties may accompany voice symptoms.
Treatments include the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment
program for increased loudness, quality, and
intelligibility. The Pitch Limiting Voice Treatment also
has good results.

Editor's Notes
In this unit we will begin our discussion of neurogenic voice disorders. We will explore types of dysarthrias and the effects that the diseases and disorders associated with these dysarthrias have on voice production.
Because this is a graduate level course, I know that you have all had an undergraduate anatomy and physiology class, and many of you may have already taken a motor speech class at the grad level. For this unit you will want to review your notes on the nervous system. Make sure you are familiar with the Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems as well as the functions of the upper and lower motor neurons. The cranial nerves which are most important to voice disorders include the Glossopharyngeal, Vagus, Spinal Accessory, and Hypoglossal nerves. You should understand how lesions to these nerves might impact a person’s ability to produce good voice. Let’s take a look at the next slide to discuss what is arguably the most important cranial nerve for voice production, the vagus nerve.
You will recall that there are two parts to the Vagus nerve: the superior laryngeal nerve and the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Each of these nerves serve different purposes for voice production. The superior laryngeal nerve or SLN innervates the cricothyroid muscle, which you will recall is the primary muscle of pitch change. Nearly every other major muscle of the larynx is innervated by the recurrent laryngeal nerve, or RLN. Note on the picture that the left branch of the RLN loops around the aortic arch. If a patient undergoes heart surgery and has a subsequent weak voice or paralyzed vocal folds, there is a good chance that a lesion to the RLN occurred during the surgery.
There are many types of dysarthria that can occur due to neurogenic diseases. In the slides that follow, I will highlight neurogenic disorders that result in dysarthrias and their effects on voice production.
In this slide I have included the major disorders of voice related to flaccid dysarthria. Remember that flaccid dsyarthria means that there is weakness or paralysis of the musculature. Let’s start with vocal fold paralysis. Vocal fold paralysis comes in two types: bilateral and unilateral. The bilateral form is obviously the most debilitating. If the folds are stuck in the abducted position, then there is a choking hazard. On the other hand, if the folds are stuck in the adducted position, breathing may be compromised. Treatment is mostly medical or surgical and can even include tracheotomy if breathing is impaired. Unilateral paralysis is usually less severe and results from infections and smoking, though surgical trauma to the left recurrent laryngeal nerve is the most common cause. Voice therapy is usually warranted focusing on good vocal hygiene and compensatory strategies. Surgical procedures like thyroplasty or injections are also used to treat unilateral vocal fold paralysis. Cricothyroid paralysis can occur when there is an infection in the superior laryngeal nerve. Difficulty with pitch change is, therefore, the biggest voice symptom. In most cases the paralysis goes away on its. Own. Myasthenia gravis is a neurogenic disease in which the person experiences muscle weakness the more he or she uses those muscles. A person with MG will usually start off with a strong voice that will get weaker and weaker over a matter of minutes. SLPs can’t treat patients with myasthenia gravis, as any attempt to use the muscles necessary for speech only tire the muscles instead of strengthening them. Finally, Guillain-Barre Syndrome may or may not have an affect on voice. This disease can spread rapidly, and can require hospitalization due to total body paralysis. Speech will often be slurred and voice weak when the disease affects the larynx and oral musculature.
A patient who is diagnosed with unilateral upper motor neuron dysarthria often has a history of stroke, tumors, or other type of trauma. SLPs who work with stroke patients, in particular, should be aware that dysarthric patients may also have voice difficulties as well as swallowing difficulties. Working on increasing respiration can result in a louder voice that is less strained.
Parkinson’s Disease is a prime example of a hypokinetic dysarthria. Parkinson’s occurs because there not enough dopamine. Imprecise or slurred speech that comes out in fast rushes is characteristic of Parkinsons, and these voice and speech characteristics are often accompanied by rigidity, bradykinesia, and tremors in the person‘s body. Neurologists must diagnose and treat the patient’s medical symptoms. A team approach is typically the best; physicians should regulate medicine so that voice/speech therapy can be most effective. New technologies are becoming available to treat PD, such as deep-brain stimulation.
Hyperkinetic dysarthria occurs in several disorders which can have an affect on voice. Huntington’s disease is the most progressive and degenerative of these disorders. People with Huntington’s usually die 15-20 years post-onset. Unlike Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s is caused by too much dopamine. This results in jerky physical movements that also manifest themselves in the voice. The SLPs job is to help facilitate communication for as long as possible. Working on voice in the early stages is important, but in later stages, AAC devices and safe eating strategies should be the focus of treatment. Note that dementia is a characteristic of Huntington’s disease. A less severe disease but one that also carries a lot of emotional weight is spasmodic dysphonia, or SD. There are two types: adductor and abductor SD. As you can imagine, the adductor type occurs when the vocal folds are tightly compressed during phonation, leaving the speaker to sound strangled as she tries to push past the laryngeal resistance. In abductor SD, the folds suddenly move away from each other, leaving the speaker in a state of aphonia. In both cases, Botox injections to relax the laryngeal musculature and behavioral voice therapy may be beneficial. Finally, essential tremor is a poorly understood neurogenic disorder that results in a shaky voice. Behavioral voice therapy is also helpful.
Mixed dysarthrias (like those found in ALS, MS, and TBI) are caused due to multiple lesion sites that affect the central and peripheral nervous systems. In later stages, concerns with dysphagia and AAC for overall communication will outweigh voice issues.
