Laryngeal EMG

Laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) is an invaluable adjunct to laryngologic assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of voice disorders. The present webinar provides some basic information regarding laryngeal anatomy, compulsory before practicing LEMG. Then, techniques used for properly performing it and for recording of EMG activity of each muscle are detailed. Finally, main indications and expected results are presented, including typical recordings. At the end, attending people should be ready (to try) to perform this specific examination.

Objective 1 : to master laryngeal muscle anatomy
Objective 2 : to master the techniques for EMG needle insertion for the different muscles of interest
Objective 3 : to be able to properly interpret EMG recordings
