Diagnosis of Unilateral Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Paralysis: Laryngeal Electromyography, Subjective Rating Scales, Acoustic and Aerodynamic Measures

Abstract

Specific LEMG patterns are related to the etiology of the UVFP and time course since recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. LEMG appears to reflect vocal fold muscle tone as seen on laryngeal function studies. In combination, these studies provide a cohesive assessment of laryngeal function in patients with UVFP.
