Abstract

Videolaryngostroboscopy (VLS) is considered gold standard method for assessing voice disorders. But patients with irregular waveform of vocal folds cannot benefit from the VLS. Videokymography [VKG] is a single line real time, high speed imaging technique. It detects voice disorders based on vocal fold vibration characteristics whether the vibrations are regular or irregular. There is no standard clinical protocol or evidence on the clinical relevance of VKG for functional assessment of voice disorders. Since mechanism of voice production depends on vibration characteristics, VKG imaging leads to new possibilities for diagnosis, objective documentation and monitoring of vocal fold behavior in clinical practice in case of voice disorders. This study aims to evaluate clinical value of VKG in addition to VLS as a complementary tool for the assessment of voice disorder.
