| description | ABSTRACT Purpose: this study aimed to verify the effects of indirect vocal therapy (IVT), via telehealth, in physical education professionals in voice self-assessment, as well as vocal quality. Methods: 16 physical education professionals, aged between 18 and 50 years, both sexes, participated in the study. All participants were submitted to eight IVT sessions twice a week, 30 minutes each, remotely. The assessments happened remotely, too. Vocal health was explained to modify vocal habits and general health, coping strategies, stress management, and therapeutic interaction. The following protocols were applied: Vocal Disorders Screening Index, Voice Symptoms Scale (VoiSS), Voice Handicap Index (VHI), and vocal recording (/a/ and counting) was performed, evaluating the general degree of vocal quality, pre and post-IVT. The Wilcoxon Test (p<0.05) was applied to verify the findings. Results: there was a significant decrease in the values of the VoiSS protocol (total p=0.041; limitation p=0.032), and VHI (total p=0.012; p=0.005), and in the general degree of vocal quality in vowel /a/ (p=0.011). Conclusion: IVT applied through telehealth in physical education professionals, has positive effects on vocal and laryngopharyngeal symptoms, improving the self-perception of voice handicaps. IVT significantly improved the general degree of vocal quality, only in the emission of the sustained vowel. |
