Author Description

Rating Laryngeal Videostroboscopy and Acoustic Recordings was designed to enhance clinical skills in assessing normal and abnormal vibratory characteristics of the vocal folds. Seventy-seven stroboscopic examinations, including 30 different pathologies, are included. The video samples begin with essentially normal stroboscopic images of the vocal folds and progress to more medically complex conditions making the interpretation of the stroboscopic results more challenging. The majority of the samples were collected following a standard protocol for recording laryngeal function during non-voicing and voicing tasks. It is encouraged that the rater pause and replay each sample as often as needed to make the ratings. This DVD is an invaluable resource for the developing clinician who is learning to hone their skills of assessment.
