A Few Objective Measurements Of Quality Of Voice In Cleft Palate Individuals

Abstract

Voice plays an important role in speech communication. The production of voice depends on the synchrony between respiratory, phonatory and resonatory
systems. Anatomical or physiological deviations in any of these systems would lead to voice disorder. Cleft palate is one of the anatomical deviation of speech
mechanism. This alters the resonatory system of speech production mechanism affecting both resonatory and phonatory aspects of voice
