Hypernasality in the presence of adequate' velopharyngeal closure
TL;DR: There are several unique timing features that differentiate the hypernasal but "adequate" group from the two control groups, which seems to be associated with the actual time the velopharyngeal mechanism is open, rather than the volume of air escaping from the nasal chamber.

Nasometric Sensitivity and Specificity: A Cross-Dialect and Cross-Culture Study:
TL;DR: A series of 514 patients seen at three clinics in the United States and Spain were evaluated using clinical judgments of hypernasality, and nasometric assessment of oral-nasal resonance balance, and prediction analyses revealed that maximum efficiency was obtained using a somewhat different threshold nasalance value for each of the three patient samples.

Alterations in velopharyngeal function after maxillary advancement in cleft palate patients
TL;DR: Velopharyngeal function was assessed aerodynamically prior to surgery and at least 1 year following surgery in 24 cleft palate patients who underwent maxillary advancement and in 5 patients, improvement of velopharyngeAl function was observed.

The speech regulating system: temporal and aerodynamic responses to velopharyngeal inadequacy.
TL;DR: The findings revealed that airflow and temporal changes minimized the fall of pressure as velar resistance declined across groups.
