The use of semi-occluded vocal tract (SOVT) exercises as habilitative and rehabilitative tools has grown substantially in the past two decades. As the use of these exercises has grown, so too has the number of variations of the phonatory gestures used to create oral semi-occlusions. While much of the research on SOVT exercises to this point has been conducted using straw phonation, there has been little discussion or investigation regarding how other phonatory gestures that are considered to be SOVT compare to one another. The current study sought to measure the intraoral pressure produced by 13 phonatory gestures generally thought of as oral semi-occlusions. Twenty subjects (10 male, 10 female) produced three tokens of each gesture, and intraoral pressure was recorded via a thin, flexible-cannula pressure transducer. Pressures ranged between 0.1 and 1.0 kPa, but varied significantly between gestures and between subjects.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 May 2021.
All research outputs
#25,785,386
of 32,097,703 outputs
Outputs from Logopedics Phoniatrics Vocology
#163
of 259 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#193,991
of 261,814 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Logopedics Phoniatrics Vocology
#2
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 32,097,703 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 259 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.2. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 261,814 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 6 of them.
