Examination of models of mucosal wave propagation
David A. Berry · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 2002
Over the years, many models have been proposed to capture mucosal wave propagation along the medial surface of the vocal folds. However, historically, little quantitative data have existed with which to evaluate such models. Indeed, standard methods of laryngeal examination have imaged the medial surface vibrations of the vocal folds very poorly. However, new methods of imaging the medial surface dynamics of the vocal folds have recently been reported [D. A. Berry, D. W. Montequin, and N. Tayama, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 110, 2539–2547 (2001)]. These data are used to evaluate a variety of models of mucosal wave propagation. [Work supported by NIDCD Grant No. R01 DC03072.]
