BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: False vocal fold (FVF) hyperfunction during phonation is thought to be a diagnostic sign of primary muscle tension dysphonia (pMTD). However, hyperfunctional patterns with phonation are also observed in typical speakers. This study tested the hypothesis that FVF posturing during quiet breathing, as measured by the curvature of FVF, could differentiate patients with pMTD from typical speakers.
METHODS: Laryngoscopic images were collected prospectively in 30 subjects with pMTD and 33 typical speakers. Images were acquired at the end of expiration and maximal inspiration during quiet breathing, during sustained /i/, and during loud phonation before and after a 30-min vocal loading task. The FVF curvature (degree of concavity/convexity) was quantified using a novel curvature index (CI, >0 for hyperfunctional/convex, <0 for "relaxed"/concave) and compared between the two groups.
RESULTS: At end-expiration, the pMTD group adopted a convex FVF contour, whereas the control group adopted a concave FVF contour (mean CI 0.123 [SEM 0.046] vs. -0.093 [SEM 0.030], p = 0.0002) before vocal loading. At maximal inspiration, the pMTD group had a neutral/straight FVF contour, whereas the control group had a concave FVF contour (mean CI 0.012 [SEM 0.038] vs. -0.155 [SEM 0.018], p = 0.0002). There were no statistically significant differences in FVF curvature between groups in either the sustained voiced or loud conditions. Vocal loading did not change any of these relationships.
CONCLUSIONS: A hyperfunctional posture of the FVFs during quiet breathing especially at end-expiration may be more indicative of a hyperfunctional voice disorder than supraglottic constriction during voicing.
