Rhythmic1
Tremors are rhythmic, involuntary oscillating movements that, when the muscles of phonation are involved, have a disabling effect because of fluctuations in the amplitude and fundamental frequency of the voice. (medscape.com)
Posture4
Additionally, the diaphragm can be affected by various factors, including emotions (e.g. anxiety can cause shallow breathing) and posture (e.g. slumped shoulders can restrict diaphragm movement). (stayingalive.com)

Most commonly this involves injecting botulinum toxin into the affected muscles of the larynx. (wikipedia.org)
It is hypothesized this occurs because of an increase in sporadic, sudden, and prolonged tension found in the muscles around the larynx during phonation. (wikipedia.org)
Vocal tremors involve not only tremor of the intrinsic muscles of the larynx but also, on occasion, the extrinsic laryngeal, pharyngeal, and palatal muscles, as well as the muscles of the diaphragm, chest wall, and abdomen (see the image below). (medscape.com)
Laryngeal dystonia (LD) is a muscle-contraction disorder of the larynx and laryngeal musculature. (medscape.com)

Laryngeal dystonia2
Spasmodic dysphonia, also known as laryngeal dystonia, is a disorder in which the muscles that generate a person's voice go into periods of spasm. (wikipedia.org)
Injections into the posterior cricoarytenoid (PCA) muscle are technically more difficult than into the thyroarytenoid and lateral cricoarytenoid (TA/LCA) and may be less satisfactory in patients with abductor laryngeal dystonia, since the PCA muscle is more difficult to access and/or some patients believed to have abductor laryngeal dystonia actually have the mixed type (ie, a combination of adductor and abductor laryngeal dystonia). (medscape.com)
Voluntary1
The cerebrum is the thinking part of the brain and it controls your voluntary muscles - the ones that move when you want them to. (kidshealth.org)
Phonation1
Consequently, the vocal folds are unable to retain subglottal air pressure (required for phonation) and breaks in phonation can be heard throughout the speech of people with spasmodic dysphonia. (wikipedia.org)
Contractions1
Cardiac muscles are found only in the heart, and their contractions provide the major force for propelling blood through the circulatory system. (mybiblioteka.su)
February 27: Huntington's disease by English Wikipedia Article of the Day Huntington's disease is an incurable neurodegenerative genetic disorder that affects muscle coordination and some cognitive functions, typically becoming noticeable in middle age. (wikimedia.org)
Difficulty1
In dystonia 16, muscles of the jaw, lips, and tongue are also commonly affected (oromandibular dystonia), causing difficulty opening and closing the mouth and problems with swallowing and speech. (medlineplus.gov)
Facial1
The involuntary movements may involve facial grimacing, grunting noises, tongue movement and jerking, seen even during rest. (blueskyneurology.com)
Vocal folds1
The vocal folds also contain muscle fibers originating from the vocalis part of the thyroarytenoid muscle, which lies deep and inferior, parallel with the vocal ligament to which it is attached at the posterior end. (medscape.com)
Body11
Dystonia 16 is one of many forms of dystonia, which is a group of conditions characterized by involuntary movements, twisting (torsion) and tensing of various muscles, and unusual positioning of affected body parts. (medlineplus.gov)
Dystonia 16 gradually gets worse, eventually involving muscles in most parts of the body. (medlineplus.gov)
These abnormalities include unusually slow movement (bradykinesia), muscle rigidity, tremors, and an inability to hold the body upright and balanced (postural instability). (medlineplus.gov)
The brain stem is in charge of all the functions your body needs to stay alive, like breathing air, digesting food, and circulating blood. (kidshealth.org)
As the disease advances, uncoordinated, jerky body movements become more apparent, along with a decline in mental abilities and behavioral and psychiatric problems. (wikimedia.org)

Stomach1
There are involuntary muscles in the heart and stomach, and it's the brain stem that tells your heart to pump more blood when you're biking or your stomach to start digesting your lunch. (kidshealth.org)
Control3
Researchers suspect that the excessive loss of cells in certain regions of the brain impairs the brain's ability to control muscles and movement, resulting in the features of dystonia 16. (medlineplus.gov)
Part of the brain stem's job is to control your involuntary muscles - the ones that work automatically, without you even thinking about it. (kidshealth.org)
The main function of the muscle is fine tonal control of the vocal cords. (medscape.com)
Moves2
The idea being that each part of a technique could be the 'final' movement, unless uke moves into the natural place for them to regain their balance. (aikiweb.com)
