Testing the mechanism. If one sling underlies hyolaryngeal elevation, the eigenvectors of coordinates representing the hyolaryngeal complex should have a common direction as pictured on the left (in this case, the vectors for the anterior sling are depicted). If two slings underlie the system, eigenvectors of coordinates representing the distal attachment of the anterior and posterior muscular sling should diverge as pictured on the right.
