Abstract

Medical diagnoses in singers Medical diagnoses in voice professionals Professional voice users Voice
Numerous medical conditions occur in patients with or without dentofacial anomalies and may affect voice. Such medical conditions create voice and whole-body performance difficulties. Common medical conditions include infection and inflammation, sinusitis, allergy, respiratory tract infection, autoimmune disease, obesity, aging, hearing loss, respiratory dysfunction, endocrine and neurologic disorders, psychological impairment, structural lesions of the larynx, and others. Practitioners and performers, including athletes and coaches, should be familiar with these conditions and their implications when evaluating, treating, and training performers such as athletes.
