Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:29:29 +0100 Vocal health program for educators: actions and results http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5541657&cid=s_37456_52_f&fid=37456&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scielo.br%2Fscielo.php%3Fscript%3Dsci_arttext%26pid%3DS1516-18462011000600021%26lng%3Den%26nrm%3Diso%26tlng%3Den CONCLUSION: the description showed the need for constant regulation of the program in order to reach its goals. The low participation in actions might be related to the discreet impact of voice in professional activities, although this fact requires further investigation. The highest measured benefit of the participation in the advanced vocal groups was the reduction in the volume e of vocal symptoms.

The studies showed that the effects of maternal depression may negatively affect child development, language can trigger disorders, behavioral, affective, cognitive and social. Therefore, maternal depression, at a certain time after birth, may come to interfere with bonding between mother and baby and therefore should be treated as early as possible.

We conclude that despite strong theoretical arguments seeking to explain a possible influence of mouth breathing on nutritional status, field studies, up to date, have failed to confirm this hypothesis, for this reason it is relevant to continue the research on these relationships.

Both the surgery and the speech therapy produced myofunctional modifications, with reduction of initial complaints, as well as a decrease of TMD and correction of functional patterns. The swallowing function was the most benefited by the treatments.

Other studies of phonological acquisition are needed, contributing to early intervention programs and preventive actions in the school environments.

There is a change in vibratory characteristics concerning amplitude, mucosal wave velocity and symmetry of vibratory pattern due to presence of increased mass in the vocal cords, contrary to what is seen in vocal cords with no disorder. Perceptual-auditory signal of vocal quality found is hoarseness, followed by breathiness and roughness (except for Reinke's edema), during speech production. In Reinke's edema, considerable reduction of voice fundamental frequency was also present.

If hearing loss exist, it might be monitored, in order to make possible an intervention by the speech-language therapist.

We verified that there is a link between the stomatognatic system and the hearing system. However, most important than just associating the stomatognatic and hearing systems, the team has been involved in the assistance to the patients, including the speech therapy professional that must have knowledge about anatomy and physiology of the Temporomandibular Joint and related disorders, causes and consequences. The said professional should be capable to distinguish the effective therapy for each disorder and evaluate the indications and contra-indications of each one, and, finally, examine the conduct with referrals being appropriate for the case evolution.

Whereas the language, for being a privileged mean of communication for the aphasic people, the loss of this instrument becomes a source of isolation and loneliness. Thus, the identification of individuals with aphasia may contribute to accurate diagnosis, confirming the understanding of speech pathology findings on language and assisting in the rehabilitation. But, these scientific evidences should be effected at all longitudinal studies in order to support the creation of new techniques and strategies for recovering the injured brain, favoring the improvement of communication and in consequence the interactivity.

As for the language, the children showed a language delay of around one year when compared to those of the same age group.

The preventive actions are to capitalize on the importance of multi-or interdisciplinary performances, on the works to raise awareness of the importance of voice in the education process, on the identification and mitigation of risk factors, on vocal enhancement programs and on voice integration among all actors involved with the school.

Data suggest a phonatory system's neuromotor instability in stutters.
