Adriaansen, Anke; Meerschman, Iris; Van Lierde, Kristiane; D'haeseleer, Evelien – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: Vocal fold nodules (VFNs) are the main cause of paediatric dysphonia. Voice therapy is recommended as the preferable treatment option for VFNs in children. Aim: The aim of this systematic review is to provide an overview of the existing literature concerning the effects of voice therapy in children with VFNs. Methods & Procedures:…

Meerschman, Iris; Claeys, Sofie; Bettens, Kim; Bruneel, Laura; D'haeseleer, Evelien; Van Lierde, Kristiane – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of a short-term intensive voice therapy (IVT) with a long-term traditional voice therapy (TVT) on the vocal quality, vocal capacities, psychosocial impact, vocal tract discomfort, laryngological anatomy/physiology, and session attendance of patients with dysphonia. An additional comparison…

Effect of Three Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract Therapy Programmes on the Phonation of Patients with Dysphonia: Lip Trill, Water-Resistance Therapy and Straw Phonation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Meerschman, Iris; Lierde, Kristiane; Ketels, Julie; Coppieters, Charlotte; Claeys, Sofie; D'haeseleer, Evelien – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2019
Background: To date, the immediate effects of a semi-occluded vocal tract (SOVT) configuration have been thoroughly demonstrated. However, it is not yet sufficiently confirmed whether a therapy programme (i.e. longer than one session) using SOVT exercises leads to an enhanced phonation and improved vocal quality. Aims: The aim of this study was to…

Immediate Effects of a Semi-Occluded Water Resistance Ventilation Mask on Objective and Subjective Vocal Outcomes in Musical Theater Students
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Meerschman, Iris; Van Lierde, Kristiane; Redman, Yvonne Gonzales; Becker, Lidia; Benoy, Ayla; Kissel, Imke; Leyns, Clara; Daelman, Julie; D'haeseleer, Evelien – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Background: Traditional semi-occluded vocal tract exercises (SOVTEs) are restricted to single-phoneme tasks due to the semi-occlusion at the mouth, which hinders full articulation, continuous speech, and singing. Innovative SOVTEs should overcome this limitation by creating the semi-occlusion outside the oral cavity. Purpose: The purpose of this…

Meerschman, Iris; Van Lierde, Kristiane; Peeters, Karen; Meersman, Eline; Claeys, Sofie; D'haeseleer, Evelien – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the short-term effect of 2 semi-occluded vocal tract training programs, "resonant voice training using nasal consonants" versus "straw phonation," on the vocal quality of vocally healthy future occupational voice users. Method: A multigroup pretest--posttest randomized control…

Meerschman, Iris; Van Lierde, Kristiane; Van Puyvelde, Caro; Bostyn, Astrid; Claeys, Sofie; D'haeseleer, Evelien – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2018
Background: In contrast with most medical and pharmaceutical therapies, the optimal dosage for voice therapy or training is unknown. Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of a short-term intensive voice training (IVT) with a longer-term traditional voice training (TVT) on the vocal quality and vocal capacities of vocally healthy…
