The use of laryngeal elektromyography and mechanography in the assessment of patients with functional voice disorders and the evaluation of circumlaryngeal manual therapy in patients with muscle tension dysphonia

Using laryngeal EMG and MMG, biomechanic and physiologic backgrounds of functional voice disorders will be examined. These techniques will be used for the first time to objectify muscle tension disorders of extralarygeal muscles. The use of LEMg and MMG will be introduced as a diagnostic technique for selection of patients and also for to objectify the therapeutic effect of circumlaryngeal manual therapy.
