title: [External laryngeal electromyographic technic in laryngologic and phoniatric clinical practice].
abstract: The author describes the external way of laryngeal electromyography, as the most easy one for current clinical use. Theoretical aspects of laryngeal muscles are recalled, and the general electromyographic data are applied to the particular case of voice muscles. Some common laryngeal and vocal diseases are enumerated, for which an electromyographic investigation is able to contribute to the diagnosis. Follows a review of clinical advantages of electromyography in laryngologic and phoniatric practice. Particularities of electromyographic investigation in patients with hyperkinetic dysphony are shown. Five demonstrative clinical cases are analysed.
