The measurement of jaw movement. Part I.

A new method of recording the movements of a point on the mandible appears to be a valuable addition to the many means which are available for attempting to fathom the secrets of jaw movements. While in its present form this method does not fully describe any of the movements of the jaws, the over-all patterns recorded may be of significance.

The measurement of jaw movement. Part II.

To summarize, the principles and the application of an apparatus have been described which without appreciable physical restraint provides graphic representations of the movements of a point on the mandible in three conventional anatomic planes-sagittal, coronal, and horizontal. The apparatus also provides data which permit an estimation of the magnitude and direction of movement of a point on the jaw during function in relation to time. This information prepares the way for the calculation of the path of the selected point in space, as well as its mean velocity and acceleration.
