Marks, Katherine L.; Feaster, Taylor F.; Baker, Sarah; Díaz-Cádiz, Manuel E.; Doyle, Philip C.; Stepp, Cara E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Objective: Currently, no clinically feasible objective measures exist that are specific to the signs of adductor laryngeal dystonia (LD), deterring effective diagnosis and treatment. This project sought to establish concurrent validity of a new automated acoustic outcome measure, designed to be specific to adductor laryngeal dystonia (AdLD): the…

Buckley, Daniel P.; Cadiz, Manuel Diaz; Eadie, Tanya L.; Stepp, Cara E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: This study is a secondary analysis of existing data. The goal of the study was to construct an acoustic model of perceived overall severity of dysphonia in adductory laryngeal dystonia (AdLD). We predicted that acoustic measures (a) related to voice and pitch breaks and (b) related to vocal effort would form the primary elements of a…
