Spasmodic Dysphonia

Spasmodic Dysphonia

Spasmodic Dysphonia

(OP)
I looking for some engineers who are up to the challenge of engineering a system for correcting vocal chord spasims in humans. Read up on Spasmodic Dysphonia if you don't already know what this neurological disease is. Post if you want more info. and if you can help. Thanks.

RE: Spasmodic Dysphonia

I would like to talk if you are interested.  I have SD - have had it for 4 years.  I am avoiding botox treatment, and am trying to come up with a remedy/cure on my own.

I don't believe it is a neurological condition as much as a physiological system breakdown that leads to a neurological response that generates muscle spasms and tension.  I have a bunch of ideas on points of failure and possible hypotheses for how the system is operating.  I am not a Biomechanical engineer however.  I do have a close, intimate perspective on what the condition feels like however as I have lived with it for a while.  I have even been able to create my own work-arounds.

I have been trying to find people who are interested in troubleshooting the oral-nasal-palatal-pharyngeal systems to identify the failure point(s) and (hopefully) develop a fix.
