Predicting Dysphonia by Measuring Surface Electromyographic Activity of the Supralaryngeal Muscles

CONCLUSIONS: This study found that individuals with dysphonia, as determined by either self-assessment or APVQ judgment, displayed more imbalanced suprahyoid muscle activities in voice production compared to nondysphonic groups. The combination of the sEMG measures from both left and right suprahyoid muscles showed potential as a predictor of dysphonia with a fair level of confidence.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.25112804.PMID:38315579 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00110
