HEALTH PROFESSIONS f f New key terms identified at the beginning of each chapter and highlighted and defined within the chapter f f Numerous illustrations, including full-color plates of vocal fold pathologies DESCRIPTION Understanding Voice Problems: A Physiological Perspective for Diagnosis and Treatment emphasizes the physiological perspective of voice disorders—and the behavioral and emotional factors that can influence these changes. Readers will find a strong foundation in normal phonatory physiology and acoustics as well as pathophysiology arising from voice misuse, abuse, or neurological involvement. Coverage includes in-depth explorations of patient interviewing, history-taking, examination, and testing and discussions of pediatric and geriatric voice considerations. The book contains numerous illustrations, including full- color plates of vocal fold pathologies. A companion website features nearly 30 video clips that demonstrate healthy, normally functioning larynges at work, plus larynges with various pathological problems. FEATURES f f Insightful case studies included in the diagnostic chapters help your students apply what they have learned and build critical thinking skills f f 23 videos (7 new) demonstrating healthy, normally functioning larynges at work, plus larynges with various pathological problems f f New critical thinking chapter questions facilitate discussion and application of key concepts
