Vocal Pathology: Neurological 1.3.1

The Vocal Pathology: Neurological app is a comprehensive educational tool designed to facilitate learning for students and patients, as well as to assist professionals in teaching vocal pathologies. The application incorporates a range of video content depicting conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, Parkinson’s disease, and post-polio syndrome. Each case includes detailed views of abducted and adducted vocal folds, providing clear visual comparisons.

All disorder and normal videos are accompanied by audio recordings of the patient reading the Rainbow Passage, allowing users to assess the impact of various pathologies on vocal function. Additionally, the app features an animated illustration of normal vocal folds with labeled structures, along with three comparison videos for normal voices and structure identification.

Case examples are presented as follows: three each for myasthenia gravis, Parkinson’s disease, and normal vocal function; two each for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and post-polio syndrome. Key highlights of each disorder include visual videos, animated illustrations, and structure identification.

The inclusion of audio recordings with playback controls—play, pause, and stop—enhances user interactivity. Users can zoom and pan across all disorder highlights, the normal vocal fold animation, and structural illustrations. An easy-to-use reset button is available for all zoom and pan features to return viewers to default views.
