Evaluation of Vocal Fold Motion Abnormalities: Are We All Seeing the Same Thing?

Objectives Flexible laryngoscopy is the principle tool for the evaluation of vocal fold motion. As of yet, no consistent, unified outcome metric has been developed for vocal fold paralysis/immobility research. The goal of this study was to evaluate vocal fold motion assessment (inter- and intra-rater reliability) among general otolaryngologists and fellowship-trained laryngologists. Study Design Prospective video perceptual analysis study....
