Summary

This study aimed to assess of efficacy of the kinesio-taping on male patients suffering from mutational falsetto

Detailed description

Mutational falsetto is a functional voice disorder involving a failure to transition from the high-pitched voice of childhood to the lower-pitch ed voice of adolescence and adulthood. In the recent years, kinesio taping has begun to be employed for treating dysphonia patients. We hypothesized that, because the kinesio taping relaxes the suprahyoid muscles and pushes the larynx backward, it could also be used as a therapy of mutational falsetto. This study aimed to assess of efficacy of the kinesio taping on male patients suffering from mutational falsetto.
