Telehealth are health services provided {over the internet|on the internet|online|over the web}. Some {refer to|make reference to|reference|talk about} this practice as telemedicine or telepractice {while others|while some|although some|and some} {are more|tend to be more|will be more|tend to be} specific using terms like online speech therapy. Whatever you {call it|refer to it as|think of it as|refer to it}, {research shows|studies have shown|research indicates} {it is a|it's a|this is a|it is just a} valid {method of|approach to|way of|technique of} providing {high quality|top quality|good quality|excellent} voice therapy {for those|for all those|for anyone|for the people} experiencing a voice disorder.
The American Speech-Language and Hearing Association published {an article|articles|a write-up|a piece of writing} {in the|within the|inside the|inside} American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology {of a|of the|of your|of an} study {designed to|made to|built to|meant to} test {the effectiveness of|the potency of|the strength of} telehealth {in the|within the|inside the|inside} {treatment of|management of|treating|treatments for} voice disorders. Included {in the|within the|inside the|inside} study were people experiencing vocal nodules, edema, unilateral vocal fold paralysis and vocal hyperfunction. In all fifty-one people {participated in|took part in|taken part in} {this study|this research|these studies} to its conclusion.
Their goal {was to|ended up being to|would have been to|ended up being} measure voice quality, acoustic analysis of voice, patient satisfaction and fiber-optic laryngoscopy through perceptual judgments. It was reported that there was no difference {in the|within the|inside the|inside} outcome measures between traditional speech therapy telehealth speech therapy. Further, {it was|it had been|it absolutely was|it turned out} reported that 100% reported {a positive|an optimistic|a good|a confident} {experience with|knowledge about|exposure to} telehealth services, {with some|with a few|by incorporating|with many} saying:
"It's {the best|the very best|the most effective|the top} effort {of having|of getting|of experiencing|of needing} a one-on-one relationship {with the|using the|with all the|while using} clinician {that would|that will|that might|that could} otherwise {not be|'t be|not|stop} {available to|open to|accessible to|offered to} {those of us|people|folks|individuals} who serve {at sea|on the ocean|cruising} or {away from|from|far from|faraway from} a medical facility.

"The video sessions were {just as good|every bit as good|similar in results}. It {made it|managed to get|caused it to be|got} more interesting {to see|to determine|to find out|to view} technology playing {a part|a component|an element|an important part} in medical sessions."
It was noted that some participants, {who were|who have been|have been} {in the|within the|inside the|inside} traditional speech therapy group, were {forced to|instructed to|made to|expected to} withdraw {from the|in the|from your|through the} study. This was {due to|because of|as a result of|on account of} active military duty {such as|for example|including|like}; deployments or relocation {to a new|to a different|to an alternative} base or duty station. Some {had to|needed to|were required to|was required to} withdraw {because of their|due to their|for their|because of the} work schedules {and two|and 2|and a couple|as well as} {because a|just because a|must be|want .} {medical condition|medical problem|condition|problem} took precedence over therapy. It was noted {that if|when|that when|if} these participants {had been|have been|ended up|was} {in the|within the|inside the|inside} telehealth group therapy {could have|might have|may have|would have} continued {for these|of these|because of these|of those} participants. For {those with|individuals with|people that have|those that have} {medical conditions|health conditions|medical ailments|health concerns} that took precedence, they {could have|might have|may have|would have} received therapy {at home|in your own home|in the home|in your house} {without the|with no|minus the|devoid of the} strain and stress of {going to the|visiting the|exploring|coming to the} clinic. Because {therapy is|treatments are|treatment therapy is|care is} held {over the internet|on the internet|online|over the web}, {those with|individuals with|people that have|those that have} work schedules that prevented them from keeping regular appointments {could have|might have|may have|would have} also {benefited from|taken advantage of|took advantage of} teleheath {as there is|while there is|nevertheless there is} no drive time involved. They {could have|might have|may have|would have} received therapy {at home|in your own home|in the home|in your house} or work, {if necessary|if required|if needed|as appropriate}. These same benefits hold true for military personnel {as well|too|also|at the same time}, {they could|they might|they can|they are able to} be stationed anywhere {and have|and also have|and possess|and still have} continued their speech therapy.
The {benefits of|advantages of|great things about|important things about} telehealth {are plentiful|are all around|are readily available}. One mentioned {by the|through the|from the|with the} authors of {this study|this research|these studies} {is that|is the fact that|is always that|is} {therapy is|treatments are|treatment therapy is|care is} provided {in the|within the|inside the|inside} patient's least restrictive environment. In others words, {it is|it's|it really is|it can be} provided {in the|within the|inside the|inside} most naturalistic setting. Our natural surroundings {allow for|permit|enable|accommodate} {a more|a far more|an even more|a much more} accurate representation {of our|in our|of our own|individuals} daily lives {and this|which|and also this|this also} helps foster participation of {family members|members of the family|loved ones|family}.

In addition, {they are able to|they could|they're able to|they can} complete activities between sessions {helping to|assisting to|helping|making an effort to} promote progress.
Another study conducted {by the|through the|from the|with the} National Center for Biotechnology Information reported {that after|that whenever|any time|anytime} conducting a study with 51 participants {both the|both|the|the two} traditional speech therapy group {and the|and also the|as well as the|along with the} telehealth group showed improvement {with no|without any|without|without having} differences reported {between the|between your|involving the|relating to the} two groups.
The {potential for|possibility of|prospect of|risk of} providing voice therapy via telehealth is substantial. There are limitations to {who would|who'd|who does|who} {benefit from|take advantage of|reap the benefits of|make use of} {this type of|this kind of|this sort of|such a} therapy. Those with limited attention spans or severe cognitive impairment may {not be|'t be|not|stop} appropriate candidates for {this type of|this kind of|this sort of|such a} therapy. In addition, those requiring manipulation {of the|from the|with the|in the} larynx would {not be|'t be|not|stop} {able to|in a position to|capable of|capable to} {participate in|take part in|be involved in|engage in} telehealth {as the|because the|since the|because} clinician {needs to|must|has to|should} manually move the patient's larynx.
In conclusion, the studies included here report that telehealth {offers the|provides the|supplies the|provides} same {high quality|top quality|good quality|excellent} speech therapy showing {the same|exactly the same|the identical|a similar} results as those achieved in traditional speech therapy. Thus making speech therapy telehealth {a valid|a legitimate|a sound|a current} option {for those|for all those|for anyone|for the people} seeking speech therapy for voice disorders.
