@julielynn261 @lisa_everton @GwenllianSLT @UoN_STU @MedicineUoN I’ve not seen anything, but given it’s a measurement device it’s not doing anything to the patient so I wouldn’t expect so. However I wonder whether the Pacemaker would create noise/interfere with the sEMG signal making it less useful or reliable?

@JB_SLT @lisa_everton @GwenllianSLT @UoN_STU @MedicineUoN Does anyone know of any contraindications for using sEMG in dysphagia therapy for people With pacemakers please?

Showcasing the growing research into post stroke dysphagia by @lisa_everton @GwenllianSLT and I @UoN_STU @MedicineUoN investigating recovery patterns, dosing of rTMS and feasibility and codesign of SLT training for behavioural therapy with sEMG
