Quantification of acute vocal fold epithelial surface damage with increasing time and magnitude doses of vibration exposure.

Quantification of acute vocal fold epithelial surface damage with increasing time and magnitude doses of vibration exposure.

Because the vocal folds undergo repeated trauma during continuous cycles of vibration, the epithelium is routinely susceptible to damage during phonation. Excessive and prolonged vibration exposure is considered a significant predisposing factor in the development of vocal fold pathology. The purpos...
