Technology advances in signal detection and processing have improved the quality of the information extracted from the surface EMG and furthered the understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the stomatognathic apparatus.Abstract:
Surface electromyography (EMG) allows the non-invasive investigation of the bioelectrical phenomena of muscular contraction. The clinical application of surface EMG recordings has been long debated. This paper reviews the main limitations and the current applications of the surface EMG in the investigation of jaw elevator muscles. Methodological factors associated with the recording of the surface EMG may reduce the reliability and sensitivity of this technique and may have been the cause of controversial results reported in different studies. Despite these problems, several clinical applications of surface EMG in jaw muscles are promising. Moreover, technological advances in signal detection and processing have improved the quality of the information extracted from the surface EMG and furthered our understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the stomatognathic apparatus.read more

Bite force and influential factors on bite force measurements: a literature review.
Duygu Koc,Arife Dogan,Bulent Bek +2 more
TL;DR: These measurements are difficult and the reliability of the result depends on a number of factors, such as presence of pain and temporomandibular disorders, gender, age, cranio-facial morphology, and occlusal factors.

Dental occlusion, body posture and temporomandibular disorders: where we are now and where we are heading for.
TL;DR: There is no evidence for the existence of a predictable relationship between occlusal and postural features, and it is clear that the presence of TMD pain is not related with the existenceof measurable occluso-postural abnormalities.

TL;DR: These methods will provide useful information for TMD diagnosis and future therapeutic planning and Spearman coefficient revealed significant correlations between EMG indices, orofacial myofunctional status and TMD severity (p<0.05).

TL;DR: Considerably different patterns of muscle activation were found across ages, with greater electromyographic activity in children and youth, and decreasing from adults to aged people.

Surface electromyographic assessment of patients with long lasting temporomandibular joint disorder pain
Gianluca M. Tartaglia,Gianluigi Lodetti,Gianluigi Lodetti,Guiovaldo Paiva,Cláudia Maria de Felício,Chiarella Sforza +5 more
TL;DR: Young adult patients with long lasting TMD have an increased and more asymmetric standardized activity of their temporalis anterior muscle, and reduced mean power frequencies, relative to healthy controls.

Introduction to Surface Electromyography
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a treatment of the history of surface EMG, the anatomy and physiology necessary to understand its origin, equipment and electrodes used to record the signal and various paradigms focusing on assessment of function/dysfunction of body muscles and joints.
BookDOI
Electromyography. Physiology, engineering and non invasive applications
TL;DR: This work focuses on the development of models for Surface EMG Signal Generation based on the principles of Structure--Based SEMG models, which were developed in the context of motor control and Muscle Contraction.

The pain-adaptation model: a discussion of the relationship between chronic musculoskeletal pain and motor activity.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the "dysfunction" that is characteristic of several types of chronic musculoskeletal pain is a normal protective adaptation and is not a cause of pain.
A clinical study
TL;DR: Early adequate treatment with multidrug antitubercular therapy avoided the need for surgery in 12 of 14 patients suffering from tuberculosis of the sternum with a mean follow-up of 2.8 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Etiology of the pain-dysfunction syndrome
TL;DR: According to the psychophysiologic theory, masticatory muscle spasm is the primary factor in myofascial pain-dysfunction syndrome as mentioned in this paper, and emotional rather than mechanical factors are the prime etiologic agents in stimulating chronic oral habits that produce muscle fatigue.
