Abstract
Extract
Electromyographic examination of intrinsic laryngeal muscular activity has been carried out in man (CitationFaaborg-Anderson, 1957) and some experimental animals including the cat (CitationGreen and Neil, 1955; CitationRex, 1969), dog (CitationNakamura et al., 1958; CitationSiribodhi et al., 1963), goat (CitationMurtagh and Campbell, 1954) and monkey (CitationLund and Palmer, 1969). The purpose of these investigations has been to increase understanding of the action of the laryngeal muscles and to provide a basis on which to compare the normal individual with those suffering from neurogenic and myogenic disorders of the larynx.
