Can someone high iq decipher the conclusion of this study? (should be in the abstract)
Abstract
"Considering that orthognathic surgery promotes changes in orofacial structures constituting the resonating system, functional changes secondary to surgery are expected to affect speech, leading to the need for further speech and voice adjustments. Thus, understanding the possible relationships of these structures with voice production is important. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the changes in voice fundamental frequency of a patient submitted to orthognathic surgery and observe if there is a relationship with hyoid bone positioning at the different treatment periods. The results revealed that voice fundamental frequency increased after surgery, returning to values close to the preoperative condition, which corresponded to vertical movement of the hyoid bone."
From my understanding, fundamental frequency increased after surgery (so you get a higher voice immediately after surgery?), and then it went back close to preoperative condition (so overall not a significant change in voice).
