EN Correct posture is a key element in the proper functioning of the entire body. Both defects and postural disorders lead to overload syndromes and degenerative changes in the musculoskeletal system. Different body positions correlate with respiratory parameters, which form the basis in modifying loudness and accentuation when speaking or singing Body posture can affect the quality of the voice signal and its fatigue. As movement and duration intensify, vocal effort increases. What is still open, however, is the problem of speech signal evaluation, especially in order to obtain assessments useful in the context of supporting medical diagnosis, optimizing therapy and monitoring rehabilitation. Meanwhile, such evaluations are what we need in medicine, rehabilitation and sports. This paper presents excerpts from a study of the effects of changes in posture and fatigue in healthy subjects, and those with phonation disorders, on changes in the acoustic parameters of the speech signal.
