"Measuring Voice, Speech, and Swallowing in the Clinic and
Laboratory'' provides a definitive reference and text for methods
of measurement of voice, speech, and swallowing functioning and
disorders. It was developed for measurement courses in
speech-language pathology graduate and doctoral programs and is
also an essential reference for practitioners or anyone who needs
to make quantitative assessments of the systems involved. The goal
of this text is to provide basic information on the instruments and
measures commonly used for assessing and treating persons with
disorders of voice, speech, and swallowing for clinical practice,
research studies, and conducting clinical trials. New developments
in electrical and magnetic stimulation for non-invasive stimulation
of nerves, muscles and the brain are provided for augmenting
treatment benefits for persons with voice, speech and swallowing
disorders. Other new techniques included are: electromyography,
articulography, transcranial magnetic stimulation, functional MRI,
fNIRS, DTI and transcranial direct current stimulation for
treatment applications. The text includes methods for recording and
analyzing speech, acoustics, imaging and kinematics of vocal tract
motion, air pressure, airflow, respiration, clinical evaluation of
voice and swallowing disorders and functional and structural
neuroimaging. Many of the methods are applicable for use in
clinical practice and clinical research. Key Features: *Over 250
full color images *Summary tables to guide selection of instruments
and measures for various applications. *Each chapter begins and
ends with an overview and conclusion for review of content
*Appendices of measurement standards Clinical investigators and
clinicians wanting to measure voice, speech, and swallowing

as will students and professors. ''Measuring Voice, Speech, and
