Abstract

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of the mandibular position on the postural stability in a sample of civilian and military pilots.

METHODS

Twenty military pilots (males, mean age 35.15 ± 3.14 years) and 17 civilian pilots (males, mean 34.91 ± 2.15 years) were enrolled in this study and underwent a Sensory Organization Test (SOT) using the EquiTest® (NeuroCom International Inc., Clackamas, OR, USA) computerized dynamic posturography. The composite parameter was recorded and analyzed.

RESULTS

The equilibrium score (ES) recorded in centric occlusion is slightly higher than the ES recorded in mandibular rest position; civilian pilots showed ESs slightly higher than military pilots. The two-way ANOVA analysis shows these differences are not statistically significant.

DISCUSSION

The findings of this study seem to suggest that the composite parameter of the SOT is not sensitive in analyzing the influence of the stomatognathic system on the postural balance of civilian and military pilots.

摘要

目的

本研究旨在评估下颌位置对民用和军用飞行员样本姿势稳定性的影响。

方法

本研究招募了20名军用飞行员（男性，平均年龄35.15 ± 3.14岁）和17名民用飞行员（男性，平均34.91 ± 2.15岁），并使用EquiTest®（美国俄勒冈州克拉卡马斯市NeuroCom International Inc.）计算机化动态姿势描记法进行感觉统合测试（SOT）。记录并分析综合参数。
