Phase plane modeling of human jaw movement: reproducibility and rhythm dependency of the RMS error.

The rhythm dependence and reproducibility of the jaw motion error for open-close-clench movements in man have been investigated. The results indicate that the error strongly depends upon the rhythm of movements. Sometimes there is a significant difference (p less than 0.05) between corresponding series of jaw motion errors indicating a lack of reproducibility of the error at a repeat test.

The reproducibility of movement parameters of the empty open-close-clench cycle in man and their dependency on the frequency of movements.

The reproducibility of the empty open-close-clench cycle has been investigated. Four subjects were asked three times to perform thirty empty open-close-clench movements at each frequency of 1/2, 1 and 2 cycles s-1. To describe such a series of thirty movements a set of nine parameters were selected. By reference to these parameters it was found that the subjects were not always able to exactly reproduce a series of thirty movements at a repeat test. The movement-parameters strongly depended on the frequency of the movements. On increasing the frequency the durations of time in which a movement cycle was divided decreased, while the maximum jaw speeds during opening and closing and the jaw speed just before tooth contact increased. The parameter values chosen to describe the smoothness of the movements performed, indicated that the smoother movements were executed at the higher frequencies.

Aspects of functional improvement after treatment of a pain dysfunction patient.

First results of an investigation of several aspects of the function of the chewing apparatus by means of optical-electric movement scanning, EMG and occlusal sound registration on one time base, are presented. Observations made on a patient with pain-dysfunction syndrome before and after treatment has been compared with observations made on a healthy subject. It has been suggested that the method used, may be of value for objective evaluation of functional improvement and analyses of several aspects of the physiology of the chewing apparatus.
