The FIRST text ever on speech breathing disorders! This text takes the reader from the laboratory to the clinic. A hallmark is its strong translational focus. Seven chapters lay out Preliminaries, Foundations of Breathing, Normal Speech Breathing, Evaluation of Speech Breathing, Management of Speech Breathing, Ventilator-Supported Speech Breathing, and Clinical Applications. Detailed table of contents. Review. Included in this edition are 461 pages of text, 28 original figures, 7 new clinical forms (including a bedside evaluation protocol), 54 sidetracks (asides of historical and modern interest), 8 instructional clinical scenarios, and 254 interdisciplinary references. This unique text offers coverage of all of the latest advances in this area, provides information never before published, and gives the clinician a user-friendly framework from which to approach client care. Aspiring and working speech-language pathologists, pulmonologists, respiratory therapists, and related professionals are the targeted audience. The principles and methods discussed are applicable to clients with neuromotor disorders, voice disorders, and pulmonary disorders.Detailed evaluation protocols are included for case history, auditory-perceptual, physical, and instrumental examinations.Sixteen major sections are devoted to management methods. Special features include extensive coverage of speaking-related dyspnea and detailed sections on each of the five types of ventilatory support in individuals who cannot breathe on their own. Case scenarios focus on functional misuse of the breathing apparatus, low cervical spinal cord injury, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, high cervical spinal cord injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, respiratory myoclonus, cerebellar tumor, and muscular dystrophy.

Respiratory function in singing is a controversial topic, rich in folklore and conditioned by the personal preferences of teachers. This book provides a comprehensive journey into the role of respiratory function in singing and dispenses with the folklore surrounding this topic. You will learn: The importance of optimal respiratory function in singing How singers' beliefs about their respiratory adjustments are often incorrect, and why, despite popular belief, the breath does not carry the tone How lung volume influences the singing voice, and what the mechanical differences are between belly-in and belly-out singing How to design a customized exercise program that is based on the volume, pressure, and shape control variables actually used in singing This book is designed primarily for singers and singing teachers. Speech-language pathologists who work with singers will also find it of value. This book provides readers with the best scientific information available on respiratory function in singing, and presents it in an easy-to-read format.

Preclinical Speech Science: Anatomy, Physiology, Acoustics, and Perception, Third Edition is a high-quality text for undergraduate and graduate courses in speech and hearing science. Written in a user-friendly style by distinguished scientists/clinicians who have taught the course to thousands of students at premier academic programs, it is the text of choice for instructors and students. Additionally, it is applicable to a broad range of courses that cover the anatomy and physiology of speech production, speech acoustics, and swallowing as well as those that cover the hearing mechanism, psychoacoustics, and speech perception.The material in this book is designed to help future speech-language pathologists and audiologists to understand the science that underpins their work and provide a framework for the evaluation and management of their future clients. It provides all the information students need to be fully ready for their clinical practicum training.KEY FEATURES:*Describes scientific principles explicitly and in translational terms that emphasize their relevance to clinical practice.*Features beautiful original, full-color illustrations designed to be instructive learning tools.*Incorporates analogies that aid thinking about processes from different perspectives.*Features "sidetracks" that contain clinical insights and relate interesting historical and contemporary facts to the discipline of speech and hearing science.*Provides a framework for conceptualizing the uses, subsystems, and levels of observation of speech production, hearing, and swallowing.*Includes material that is ideal for preparing both undergraduates and graduates for clinical study.NEW TO THIS EDITION:*Three new, up-to-date, and comprehensive chapters on Auditory Anatomy and Physiology; Auditory Psychophysics; and Speech Physiology Measurement and Analysis.*All chapters fully revised including updated references and new full-color, detailed images.*Ancillary materials available on a PluralPlus companion website including PowerPoint lecture slides, image bank, study guides, sound files, and more.

It provides all the information students need to be fully ready for their clinical practicum training.The third edition of the workbook reflects the changes found in the textbook and includes activities to correspond with the three new textbook chapters on Auditory Anatomy and Physiology, Auditory Psychophysics, and Speech Physiology Measurement and Analysis, as well as revised content throughout the existing chapters. It contains a variety of activities, including anatomical labeling, measurement of physiologic and acoustic data, interpretation of graphs, and the conduct of simple experiments (without the need for special equipment). Comprehensive answers are also included for each chapter.KEY FEATURES:*Describes scientific principles explicitly and in translational terms that emphasize their relevance to clinical practice.*Features beautiful original, full-color illustrations designed to be instructive learning tools.*Incorporates analogies that aid thinking about processes from different perspectives.*Features "sidetracks" that contain clinical insights and relate interesting historical and contemporary facts to the discipline of speech and hearing science.*Provides a framework for conceptualizing the uses, subsystems, and levels of observation of speech production, hearing, and swallowing.*Includes material that is ideal for preparing both undergraduates and graduates for clinical study.NEW TO THE THIRD EDITION TEXTBOOK:*Three new, up-to-date, and comprehensive chapters on Auditory Anatomy and Physiology; Auditory Psychophysics; and Speech Physiology Measurement and Analysis.*All chapters fully revised including updated references and new full-color, detailed images.*Ancillary materials available on a PluralPlus companion website including PowerPoint lecture slides, image bank, study guides, sound files, and more.
