The purpose of this paper is to review the methods used for the assessment of muscular tension dysphonia (MTD). The MTD is a functional voice disorder associated with abnormal laryngeal muscle activity. Various assessment methods are available in the literature to evaluate the laryngeal hyperfunction. The case history, laryngoscopy, and palpation are clinical methods for the assessment of patients with MTD. Radiography and surface electromyography (EMG) are objective methods to provide physiological information about MTD. Recent studies show that surface EMG can be an effective tool for assessing muscular tension in MTD.
本文的目的是综述用于评估肌肉紧张性发声障碍（MTD）的方法。MTD是一种与喉部肌肉活动异常相关的功能性嗓音障碍。文献中有多种评估方法可用于评估喉部功能亢进。病例史、喉镜检查和触诊是评估MTD患者的临床方法。放射学检查和表面肌电图（EMG）是提供有关MTD生理信息的客观方法。最近的研究表明，表面肌电图可以成为评估MTD肌肉紧张度的有效工具。
