Treatment options included (1) botulinum injection
to the adductor muscles, (2) medialization of the true vocal folds to
reduce hyperfunctional compensation for minor glottic insufficiency and
related increased closure contact on the arytenoids, (3) excision of the
lesion with local mucosal flap coverage, and (4) treatment of the lesion
with the pulsed-dye laser. Two of the 3
strengthening exercises were targeted to the shoulder external rotator
and shoulder adductor muscles, and the third exercise was prescribed for
scapular retraction to be performed in a "rowing" motion. This can lead to overuse of the hamstrings and adductors and
cause strain or tendinitis in these groups. |
