Abstract:
Most functional electrical stimulation (FES) research has focused on the spinal cord-injured patient whose muscles are paralyzed but still maintain their innervation. This article details the investigation of FES of the laryngeal muscles. In time, FES may become a useful treatment for bilateral vocal cord paralysis (BVCP) and for some laryngeal movement disorders.
