Laryngeal Electromyography: Basic Concepts and Clinical Uses

Laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) is a procedure that evaluates the integrity of the muscular and nervous systems of the larynx. This test is performed on patients who have evidence of a movement disorder of the vocal folds. The purpose of the LEMG is to help the physician diagnose and differentiate the causes of these movement disorders. There are several different types of problems that can r...

Practice parameter: laryngeal electromyography (an evidence-based review).

This paper reports on an evidence-based review of laryngeal electromyography (EMG) as a technique for use in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of laryngeal movement disorders including the laryngeal dystonias, vocal fold paralysis, and other neurolaryngological disorders. The authors performed a systematic review of the medical literature from 1944 through 2001 on the clinical application...
