[Vocal dysfunctions: bases for rehabilitation].

Based on our observations of vocal dysfunction modes, we set up a classification of dysfunctions. Most often, we encounter a "prolonged and usual vocal forcing on an anatomically normal larynx". This forcing often essentially predominates breathing, but it may predominate the larynx, in the posterior glottis or on the vibrating area of the vocal cords. We individualized the very specific group of dysphonias with limited tone where the forcing in located, especially in the resonators. We reviewed the dysphonias with modified larynx, by secondary lesions or primitive pathologies. Analysis of the vocal dysfunction mode makes it possible to establish a therapeutic programme adapted to each case with a functional aim.

[Dysphonia in children].

Numerous cases of early dysphonia in children are due to congenital lesions of the vocal cord. Others, developing later, appear within a context of maltreatment of the vocal cords, and become part of the child's psychological and psychomotor developmental disorder. Hearing and seeing dysphonia are the two parts of our diagnostic stage, assisted by the use of optic fibres and audiovisual methods. Treatment must be global, putting dysphonia back into its proper context, leaving a substantial part to vocal re-education, as laryngeal microsurgery only comes into play when the result is inadequate, or when the vocal imperatives of a child musician lead to that choice.

[Seeing the timbre in the singing voice: training and retraining].

Voice clinicians, as well as singers, always correlate the assessment of the singing voice to the vocal and corporal gestures that model singing, and among these parameters, especially timbre. The authors have shown how and what to see in the timbre; first of all, through analysis of the voice by oscillography and sonagraphy, then through observation of the singing act in artists, with special interest for dynamic recordings by vuccal and nasal fibroscopy. In this manner, each variation of the timbre heard clearly corresponds to modifications of the glottic vibratory cycle, volume changes of the resonators, pharynx, oropharynx and buccal cavity. The analysis of the action of the different muscles coming into play in singing, their synergies and their antagonistic effects, give a physiological basis to the singer's vocal work. This analysis also makes it possible to more effectively guide the rehabilitation of dysacusia which effect the timbre.

[Functional future of laryngopathies in singers].

As regards to 24 singers under observation traited for dysody (14 lyric singers, 3 amateur chorus singers and 7 pop singers), one deduces the following points: almost all the singers traited are professional. The lyric professional singers seek medical advice for minor lesions or simple dysfunctions, as early as needed. In the classical amateurism, patients are not adequately inform about the risk of vocal strain. They seek medical advice for secondary lesions. The first two groups are treated with good results. The majority of pop singers consult medical practitians, for surgical lesions. The results of such treatments are frail.
