Adrianna C Shembel, Chaya Nanjundeswaran

PMID 36008185

WHAT IT FOUND

No new methods or outcomes are reported in this review of possible body-level mechanisms for vocal fatigue.

What this paper is

This is a narrative review proposing possible biophysiological mechanisms for vocal fatigue. It discusses prior animal, limb, and voice studies and suggests future experiments, but it reports no original methods or results. There is no finding to act on.

Declared interests

The authors declared no competing interests.

The easy way to misread this

Do not read the proposed mechanisms as established causes of vocal fatigue. This paper reviews hypotheses and prior studies, but it reports no original methods or results.
