Objective: To characterize quality of life in related to communication in people who have undergone went total laryngectomy surgery.
Unlabelled: Total laryngectomy is a surgical procedure that can change swallowing biomechanics, including muscle activity of the masseter; this muscle stabilizes the mandible.
Aim: To characterize the electrical activity of the masseter muscle during swallowing after total laryngectomy. Series study.
Purpose: To characterize the electrical activity of the masseter muscle during swallowing of liquids in healthy young adults.
Methods: Participants were 14 volunteers considered healthy according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria established for this study. The bilateral electromyographic evaluation of the masseter muscle was conducted at rest and in swallowing tasks of 14.
