Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Affected degree of each vocal assessment, vocal fatigue index and stroboscopic examination between 1st and 2nd vocal loading. Stroboscopic examination, aerodynamic assessment, acoustic analysis, GRBAS scale, and vocal fatigue index are performed after vocal loading. Aerodynamic assessment includes maximum phonation time(MPT),mean flow rate(MFR) and AC/DC ratio: vocal efficiency index. Acoustic analysis evaluates pitch perturbation quotient(PPQ),amplitude perturbation quotient(APQ),noise to harmonic ratio(NHR). | — |
