Summary

Surface electromyography (SEMG) effectively reduced stuttering in adults. This technology-based fluency promotion required no additional speech therapy techniques for positive outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Speech-language pathology
  • Biomedical engineering
  • Neurology

Context:

  • Stuttering is a complex speech disorder affecting fluency.
  • Technological interventions are increasingly explored for speech therapy.
  • Surface electromyography (SEMG) offers objective biofeedback for muscle activity.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of surface electromyography (SEMG) as a standalone treatment for stuttering.
  • To assess the impact of SEMG on stuttering frequency and speech-related physiological measures.

Summary:

  • A study involving four adults who stutter utilized SEMG-based training sessions.
  • Pre- and post-treatment assessments included speech analysis and physiological measurements.
  • Results indicated a significant decrease in stuttering-like and other disfluencies.
