Automated Detection and Evaluation of Swallowing Using a Combined EMG/Bioimpedance Measurement System

Introduction. Developing an automated diagnostic and therapeutic instrument for treating swallowing disorders requires procedures able to reliably detect and evaluate a swallow. We tested a two-stage detection procedure based on a combined electromyography/bioimpedance (EMBI) measurement system. EMB...
