A Surface Emg Study of Healthy Jaw Function
نویسندگان
چکیده
A number of studies have linked temporomandibular disorders (TMD) to altered activation patterns of the masticatory muscles during occlusion (Ciancaglini et al., 2002). Treatment of TMD aimed at restoring neuromuscular function requires knowledge of how occlusal contact is achieved in the healthy population. The purpose of this study was to identify common masticatory muscle function patterns in the healthy population for maximum clenching on a range of symmetric and asymmetric occlusal interferences.

Evaluation of jaw and neck muscle activities while chewing using EMG-EMG transfer function and EMG-EMG coherence function analyses in healthy subjects
This study aims to quantitatively clarify the physiological features in rhythmically coordinated jaw and neck muscle EMG activities while chewing gum using EMG-EMG transfer function and EMG-EMG coherence function analyses in 20 healthy subjects. The chewing side masseter muscle EMG signal was used as the reference signal, while the other jaw (non-chewing side masseter muscle, bilateral anterior...
متن کاملRelationship between anteroposterior maxillomandibular morphology and masticatory jaw movement patterns.
The causal relationships between oral function and craniomandibular morphology are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to determine whether quantifiable features of masticatory jaw movements and associated EMG activity correlated with variation in morphology as defined by the ANB angle. Thirty-six healthy subjects with no previous orthodontic treatment, asymptomatic masticatory muscles...
متن کاملAnalyzing surface EMG signals to determine relationship between jaw imbalance and arm strength loss
BACKGROUND This study investigated the relationship between dental occlusion and arm strength; in particular, the imbalance in the jaw can cause loss in arm strength phenomenon. One of the goals of this study was to record the maximum forces that the subjects can resist against the pull-down force on their hands while biting a spacer of adjustable height on the right or left side of the jaw. Th...
متن کاملEffect on anterior temporalis surface EMG of eyes open-closed condition.
BACKGROUND The use of rest surface EMG of jaw elevator muscles is still debated. The low voltage recorded in anterior temporalis muscle by electromyography (EMG) in rest position could be affected by electronic noise or by activity coming from other muscles. Our goal was to evaluate the physiological behaviour of the anterior temporalis by surface EMG at rest mandible position during open or cl...
متن کاملCan masticatory electromyography be normalised to submaximal bite force?
The combination of bite force and jaw muscle electromyography (EMG) provides an insight into the performance of the stomatognathic system, especially in relation to dynamic movement tasks. Literature has extensively investigated possible methods for normalising EMG data encapsulating many different approaches. However, bite force literature trends towards normalising EMG to a maximal voluntary ...
