Vocal and Orofacial Myofunctional Characteristics of Individuals with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Individuals with OSA exhibit impairments in both orofacial myofunctional and vocal parameters, with negative alterations observed in MPT speech rate, pneumophonoarticulatory coordination, and s/z ratio compared with subjects with no OSA complaints. These findings highlight the importance of evaluating vocal and orofacial aspects together in OSA.
