    Viggo Pettersen
    Department of Music and Dance, University of Stavanger, Stavanger, Norway
    Folia Phoniatr Logop 57:255-77. 2005
    ..Substantial muscle activity is observed in PN during inhalation and phonation. EMG biofeedback performed on TR and STM have a secondary effect of lowering EMG activity in PN...
  2. ncbi Preliminary findings on the classical singer's use of the pectoralis major muscle
    Viggo Pettersen
    Department of Music and Dance, University of Stavanger, Stavanger, Norway
    Folia Phoniatr Logop 58:427-39. 2006
    ..The activity in the pectoralis major (PC) muscle and the phasing of PC activity to sternocleidomastoideus (STM) activity and upper thorax (UTX) movement were investigated...
  3. ncbi Muscle activity in the classical singer's shoulder and neck region
    V Pettersen
    Stavanger University College, School of Art Education, N 4068 Stavanger, Norway
    Logoped Phoniatr Vocol 27:169-78. 2002
    ..We conclude that singers, although having an enhanced awareness of posture, still may have overuse of especially the TR muscle, but probably also the STM muscle...

    V Pettersen
    Stavanger University College, School of Art Education, N 4068 Stavanger, Norway
    Logoped Phoniatr Vocol 29:56-65. 2004
    ..Another finding was large inter-subject variation in muscle usage, showing an idiosyncratic composition of the muscle contribution to subglottal pressure...
  5. ncbi The association between upper trapezius activity and thorax movement in classical singing
    V Pettersen
    School of Art Education, Stavanger University College, Stavanger, Norway
    J Voice 18:500-12. 2004
    ..Group results from both opera singers and student singers showed that EMG activity was significantly lowered after BF. The lowered TR activity resulted in an expanded upper TX circumference and less TX respiratory movement after BF...
  6. ncbi The activity patterns of neck muscles in professional classical singing
    Viggo Pettersen
    Stavanger University College, School of Art Education, Stavanger, Norway
    J Voice 19:238-51. 2005
    ..The activity of all neck muscles was markedly elevated when singing in the highest pitch. There was no consistent task-based difference in EMG amplitude for the other singing tasks...

    J Voice 19:623-34. 2005
    ..TR contributed to exhalation in demanding singing with long breathing cycles, but it was less active in singing tasks with short breathing cycles and was essentially inactive in simplified speaking tasks...

    Viggo Pettersen
    Department of Music and Dance, University of Stavanger, Stavanger, Norway
    J Voice 23:295-303. 2009
    ..The results imply that vocalizing using ES facilitates a more prominent role for LOBL activity in the positioning of the abdominal wall and thorax than observed when vocalizing using NES...

    Logoped Phoniatr Vocol 35:105-12. 2010
    ..We conclude that USI is a promising tool for surveying the movement of the DPH. Especially the anterior section is easily assessed; however, also the dorsal section may indirectly be surveyed by USI of the movement of the left kidney...
