Abstract

Introduction and objective: Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease that affects the proximal muscles of the extremities, ptosis of the eyelids and oropharyngeal dysphagia. Consequently, the clinical profile of these patients could be accompanied by dysphonia, dysarthria and weight loss. The alterations of the voice, the articulation and the swallowing characterize the profile of the disartrofonía. We present a clinical case of a patient with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy who has been referred to the sevice of speech therapy with the aim of rehabilitating her voice. Description: The novelty that this case presents in the speech therapy intervention is that it has been rehabilitated using semiocluid vocal tract techniques. Results: The results obtained show the effectiveness of Lax vox in the rehabilitation of the patient. Discussion: In the literature search we have found scientific evidence of the effectiveness of Lax Vox in patients with dysphonia, nodules, polyps, edema; but we have not found evidence of the effectiveness of Lax Vox in patients with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy. Conclusions: With these results, we can conclude that the use of the Lax vox technique for the rehabilitation of patients with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy is beneficial.
