Laryngeal Function and Voice Disorders: Basic Science to Clinical Practice-1판

The definitive evidence-based resource on the diagnosis and treatment of voice disorders

Laryngeal Function and Voice Disorders: Basic Science to Clinical Practice by renowned experts Christopher Watts 
and Shaheen Awan focuses on the latest developments in the assessment and management of voice disorders. 
New ASHA practice recommendations are included in accessible, digestible, and didactic content. 
This unique multimedia resource merges historical facts and experiential understanding with recent advances in 
scientific knowledge and evidence-based practice patterns.

The book includes discussion of the anatomical, physiological, acoustic, aerodynamic, and imaging science informing 
the understanding of vocal function in normal and disordered states. 
Major technical components of voice evaluation are covered, including perceptual analyses, acoustic analyses, 
aerodynamic analyses, and laryngeal visualization.

Key Highlights
Case studies reinforce evidence-based approaches, clinical relevance, and practical applicationsDiscussion of laryngeal 
disorders, laryngeal evaluations, laryngeal endoscopy and stroboscopy, and voice rehabilitationVoice and airway 
impairment evaluations, diagnostic and treatment processes, and options available to speech-language 
pathologistsGuidance on collaborating with medical specialists, in particular otolaryngologistsVideos and sound files 
aid in the understanding of the perceptual and acoustic components of voice evaluation
 
This highly practical reference is a must have for upper-level undergraduate students in communication sciences, 
graduate students in speech language pathology, and practicing health care professionals. 
Otolaryngology and neurology residents and physical therapy doctoral candidates will also find this resource 
beneficial.

This book includes complimentary access to a digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.
