Summary

The purpose of the study is to know if there is relation between the dynamics of pelvic floor muscles and different phonation pattern.

Conditions

  • Pelvic Floor Dyssynergia
  • Phonation Disorder

Interventions

OTHER

phonation and respiratory tasks

Participants performed various tasks to evaluate pelvic floor muscle activity and displacement. These included a maximum voluntary contraction ("cutting off the flow of urine mid-stream"), a pelvic floor strain ("bearing down for a bowel movement"), and the Valsalva maneuver to clear the Eustachian tubes. Additionally, phonation and respiratory exercises were conducted, such as producing the "ah" sound at different pitches, open-mouth exhalation, coughing, and semi-occluded vocal tract (SOVT) exercises using a small coffee straw, commonly used in singing warm-ups to enhance vocal efficiency. Each task lasted 3 seconds, with 1-minute rest intervals to assess their impact on pelvic floor displacement
