Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System: Content and Criterion Validity Across Evidence-Based Voice Therapies for Muscle Tension Dysphonia
CONCLUSIONS: The RTSS and RTSS-Voice exhibited strong content validity. The standard RTSS-Voice terminology helped identify, for the first time, commonalities and differences in treatment ingredients, targets, and mechanisms of action across four treatments developed for the same patient population. In the long term, the RTSS and RTSS-Voice could provide the framework for an ever-growing collection of clinically meaningful and evidence-based therapy algorithms with potential to improve research, education, and clinical care.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.25537624.PMID:38597797 | DOI:10.1044/2024_AJSLP...

Quantifying Dosage in Self-Managed Speech-Language Therapy: Exploring Components of Cumulative Intervention Intensity in a Real-World Mobile Health Data Set
CONCLUSIONS: The calculation of CII may provide both users and clinicians with a fuller picture of at-home, self-managed practice habits than looking at any one dosage component alone. The study represents a first step toward more comprehensive and theoretically grounded dose reporting for self-managed SLT.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.25511191.PMID:38573233 | DOI:10.1044/2024_AJSLP-23-00285 (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)

Speech-Language Outcomes in the COVID-19 Milieu for Multilingual Jamaican Preschoolers and Considerations for Telepractice Assessments
CONCLUSIONS: Findings from this investigation serve to characterize the communicative participation and functional speech intelligibility of TD bilingual Jamaican preschoolers and those with fSSDs in the COVID-19 milieu. By extension, the results comparing data from preschoolers collected during the pandemic to an existing corpus of baseline data from a different group of preschoolers provide critical insights about multilingual children's speech-language outcomes in the context of acutely changing environmental circumstances.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.25461505.PMID:38573244 | DOI:10.1044/2024_AJS...

Muscle Tension Dysphagia: An Expanded Investigation of Clinical Presentations and Swallowing Kinematics
CONCLUSIONS: Individuals demonstrated abnormalities in the clinical evaluation of the areas of palpation and reported perilaryngeal discomfort and symptoms of laryngeal hyperresponsiveness, with a negative impact on their quality of life across various PROs. Atypical hyoid and/or hyolaryngeal excursion during swallowing was rare when compared to available normative reference values. The clinical evaluation of MTDg may be enhanced by including components related to muscle tension and laryngeal hyperresponsiveness in order to differentiate MTDg from idiopathic functional dysphagia and lead the patient to the otolaryngology/s...
