Multimodal Voice Rehabilitation in Paralytic Dysphonia. A Case Study

Summary/Abstract: The article presents a case study of a 56-year-old patient with paralytic dysphonia. Based on medical records and a speech therapy assessment, a voice rehabilitation programme was developed and implemented. The aim of the therapy was to restore proper laryngeal function lost as a result of left vocal fold paralysis. A multimodal therapeutic approach was applied, including techniques to stimulate glottal closure, breathing exercises, articulatory motor training, body awareness exercises, education on vocal hygiene and voice production, as well as scar therapy. After a four-month therapy period, reassessment confirmed improvement in all laryngeal functions, full recovery of mobility of the paralyzed vocal fold, reduction of hyperfunctional behaviors, enhanced well-being, and the patient’s ability to return to professional activity.
