Abstract

We have been studying an implant type EMG-controlled electrolarynx. First of all, we propose the sternohyoid muscle(SH) as a control source of the electrolarynx. The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility that subjects control voluntarily the constriction of their SH, and produce the control signals of electrolarynx. For this pwnan, we carried out four experiments regarding the control of the electrolarynx. At the results, we found that subjects can control the start/stop of constriction and the amplitude of EMG of their SH. Also, we ascertained the possibility that the start/stop of contraction of SH controls OW/OFF of sound source of the electrolarynx and the amplitude of UG of SH controls the pitch frequency of the electrolarynx.
