简要总结
This study aimed to assess of efficacy of the kinesio-taping on male patients suffering from mutational falsetto
详细描述
Mutational falsetto is a functional voice disorder involving a failure to transition from the high-pitched voice of childhood to the lower-pitch ed voice of adolescence and adulthood. In the recent years, kinesio taping has begun to be employed for treating dysphonia patients. We hypothesized that, because the kinesio taping relaxes the suprahyoid muscles and pushes the larynx backward, it could also be used as a therapy of mutational falsetto. This study aimed to assess of efficacy of the kinesio taping on male patients suffering from mutational falsetto.

结局指标
主要结局
The outcomes of fundamental frequency
时间窗: 2 weeks
It was analyzed with noise harmonic ratio, jitter and shimmer that were calculated by computer software. Typical average values for the frequencies are 120 Hz for men and 210 Hz for women. The lower frequencies show masculine voice. The higher frequencies show feminine voices.
The outcomes of voice handicap index - 10
时间窗: 2 weeks
It was assessed by voice handicap index - 10 that a self questionnaire in mutational falsetto patients. The minimum score is 0 and maximum score is 4 per question. The high scores were worst low scores were good.
The outcomes of maximum phonation times
时间窗: 2 weeks
The subjects tried to say the vowel "a'" for as long as they could than it was assessed as seconds. Typical average values for the maximum phonation times are between 15-30 seconds. The higher times show healthy phonation.
The outcomes of Grade-Roughness-Breathiness-Asthenia-Strain scale
时间窗: 2 weeks
It was assessed by Grade-Roughness-Breathiness-Asthenia-Strain scale that a scale in mutational falsetto patients. The minimum score is 0 and maximum score is 3 per category. The high scores were worst low scores were good.
