The influence of biomechanical characteristics of the musculo-fascial system on vocal apparatus is described. The visual and palpating methods used in physiotherapeutic/ostheopatic diagnostics, including the assessment of joint mobility and ergonomics in dynamic and static situations are also outlined.
