Abstract
This paper presents a measurement setup which is able to measure the distribution of small scale pressure on an area of 15.2 mm × 30.4 mm with a sample rate up to 1.2 kHz. It was used to investigate the contact pressures of vocal folds during phonation. This was performed in ex vivo experiments of 11 porcine larynges. The contact pressure at the medial surface and other phonation parameters, as the glottal resistance and the closing velocity of the vocal fold, were measured at different adduction and elongation levels and air flow rates. A statistical analysis was carried out. It could be shown that the contact pressure rises, when the vocal fold is manipulated or when the flow rate is increased.
期刊介绍:
Biomedical Engineering covers recent advances in the growing field of biomedical technology, instrumentation, and administration. Contributions focus on theoretical and practical problems associated with: the development of medical technology; the introduction of new engineering methods into public health; hospitals and patient care; the improvement of diagnosis and therapy; biomedical information storage and retrieval. Biomedical Engineering is a translation of the Russian journal Meditsinskaya Tekhnika. The Russian volume-year is published in English beginning in July. All articles are peer-reviewed.
