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 …

OBJECTIVES: Muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) is the pathological condition in which an
excessive tension of the (para) laryngeal musculature leads to a disturbed voice. Surface …

Objectives Patients with primary muscle tension dysphonia (pMTD) commonly report
paralaryngeal pain and discomfort, and extrinsic laryngeal muscle (ELM) tension and …

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 …

Purpose This study examined the relationship between the acoustic measure relative
fundamental frequency (RFF) and a kinematic estimate of laryngeal stiffness. Method Twelve …

Background Laryngeal palpation is a common clinical method for the assessment of neck
and laryngeal muscles in muscle tension dysphonia (MTD). Objective To review the …

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 The purpose of this article is to examine the ability of an acoustic measure, relative
fundamental frequency (RFF), to distinguish between two subtypes of vocal hyperfunction …
