With 52 videos and 47 audio files, bringing LEMG concepts and techniques to life!Authored by an esteemed team of international experts, Laryngeal Electromyography: Case Studies is the first-of-its-kind book to present multidisciplinary cases on the clinical application of laryngeal electromyography (LEMG), including key concepts and principles of LEMG interpretation. It discusses diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to treating voice disorders. It also describes electrode placement, signal interpretation, and analysis techniques specific to each of the laryngeal muscles. The book highlights how LEMG is used to diagnose neuromuscular diseases of the intrinsic laryngeal muscles, generalized neurologic disorders, monitor ongoing treatment plans, and determine the effectiveness of interventions. The text includes 21 detailed and illustrated case examples with multimedia, showing how LEMG guides patients and physicians in clinical practice to evaluate a variety of problems, including differentiating vocal fold paralysis from mechanical fixation, laryngeal myopathy, myasthenia gravis, motor neuron disease, and others. It also includes instruction and nuances of laryngeal EMG for intraoperative nerve monitoring and needle guidance during the injection of botulinum toxin.

The second edition of Laryngeal Electromyography is concise and practical; . The book provides laryngologists, neurologists, physiatrists, and other electrophysiologists a complete overview of this procedure, from the anatomy of the laryngeal muscles to the interpretation of the EMG. The second edition is thoroughly updated to reflect the most recent literature on reflux, including new directions for research and recently published practice parameters. This book makes available the information necessary for performing a procedure required for accurate laryngologic diagnosis, which is essential to every voice care team. This book is a highly accessible, easy-to-follow reference guide with clinical applications, case studies, and appendices with extensive resources. Totally revised and updated new edition Concise, practical coverage on electromyographic procedure and diagnostics Expanded coverage plus an additional appendix Extensively referenced and now includes a suggested reading list
