Dissociation of the Homologous Muscle Function in Stuttering

A study of the extent of dyssynergia occurring during the stuttering spasm.

“…In another previous study (19), dyssynergia had been observed in the activity of homologous facial muscles involved in articulation. In the present study, small surface electrodes placed over the respective masseter muscles were used to record this activity.…”

The physiology of lateral cerebral dominance: review of literature and evaluation of the test of simultaneous bilateral movement.

“…Electrical Brain and Muscle Potentials. Action current studies of bilaterally homologous cortical areas in the rat (32) and of simultaneously activated masseter muscles in human speech (31) have shown a remarkable synchronism in the activity of the two sides. Travis showed further that there is a marked dissociation of the activity of the two masseter muscles during stuttering as compared to the marked synchronism during normal speech.…”

An analysis of associative and predisposing factors in the symptomatology of stuttering.

“…6, shows a thoracic tremor. Travis (18) reports mild tremors as characteristic of normal speakers. In certain 5"s in the present study the intensity of the tremor seemed to vary from situation to situation but not to have any relation to the signalled spasm as such.…”

“…Frequency of appearance of various types of action current abnormalities. Travis, (18) has called attention to the striking differences between the action currents recorded from the two masseter muscles during stuttering. In the analysis of records secured in this experiment it was found that seven of the 10 Ss gave action currents during normal speech that were very small in amplitude compare,d with the results of most normal speakers.…”
