Measurement of surface electromyography activity during swallowing in paediatrics: a scoping literature review.

ABSTRACT: Surface electromyography (sEMG) could be used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in various health conditions. For example, sEMG biofeedback is shown to be beneficial in adults with swallowing disorders (dysphagia), whereas there are no easily identifiable studies to support such evidence in paediatrics. The current review aimed to evaluate the feasibility of implementing sEMG during swallowing tasks in paediatric populations with various diagnoses. Additionally, the review aimed to describe findings in publications involving participants with cerebral palsy (CP) and dysphagia. Paediatric-related publications were sourced using English keywords and phrases across the following seven databases: PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Glob
