A Survey Of Vocal Characteristics In A Sample Of Adult Rheumatoid Arthritics, Janine B. Chenier

Theses and Dissertations

The normalcy of voicing at the level of the larynx is dependent upon the competency of the cricoarytenoid joints to which the vocal folds are attached. Rheumatoid involvement of this diarthrodial joint could result in reduced mobility or fixation of the fold(s).

It was the purpose of this study to survey a sample of adult rheumatoid arthritics in order to …
