Electrical Stimulation of Vocal Fold Adduction Triggered by Laryngeal Electromyography Using a Custom Implant
CONCLUSIONS: Using a custom implant system, we demonstrated real-time closed-loop stimulation of one VF triggered by the activation of the contralateral VF. This approach could potentially restore dynamic glottic closure for reflexive behaviors or phonation in cases of unilateral VF paralysis with synkinetic reinnervation.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.24492133.PMID:37971489 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00377
