An EMG biofeedback technique was developed for the treatment of dysarthria. It aims at increasing the quantity of information about the myofacial system which can be used by the patients to improve the control of their musculature and speech production. This therapy tool consisting of an application software module (copyright INSERM/CNRS 92) is adaptable for a lot of muscles and speech realizations.
