Purpose Applying surface electromyography (sEMG) to the study of voice, speech, and
swallowing is becoming increasingly popular. An improved understanding of sEMG and …

The purpose of this paper is to review the methods used for the assessment of muscular
tension dysphonia (MTD). The MTD is a functional voice disorder associated with abnormal …

There is evidence that laryngeal manual therapy, in various forms, can be a useful primary
intervention in cases of muscle tension dysphonia, although this is based on very few …

Objectives It has been assumed that patients with primary muscle tension dysphonia (pMTD)
have more extrinsic laryngeal muscle (ELM) tension, but tools to study this phenomenon …

Objective. Silent speech recognition (SSR) based on surface electromyography (sEMG) is
an attractive non-acoustic modality of human-machine interfaces that convert the …

Objectives Low-level light therapy (LLLT) is effective in reducing inflammation, promoting
wound healing, and preventing tissue damage, but has not yet been studied in the treatment …

Purpose: This study set out to quantify the fatigue-related changes in surface
electromyographic (sEMG) activities of the perilaryngeal muscles following a vocal loading …

Purpose: This study set out to investigate whether individuals with dysphonia, as determined
by either self-assessment or clinician-based auditory-perceptual judgment, exhibited …

Objective: Objective evaluation of physiological responses using non-invasive methods for
the assessment of vocal performance and voice disorders has attracted great interest. This …

Objective The study aims to evaluate the reliability and the discriminative validity of surface
electromyography (sEMG) in the assessment of patients with primary muscle tension …
