The reproducibility of electromyographic parameters descriptive of deliberate unilateral chewing (activity, timing, curve symmetry) was investigated in normal asymptomatic volunteers. The best time for the initiation of muscle activity was also examined, with the future aim of staging TMJ internal derangements. The results suggest that activity is the most reliable variable, indicating that it may be helpful in describing muscle incoordination. When time was used in conjunction with another variable, overall reproducibility decreased.
在无症状的正常志愿者中,研究了描述单侧刻意咀嚼的肌电图参数(活动、时间、曲线对称性)的可重复性。还研究了肌肉活动开始的最佳时间,其未来目标是对颞下颌关节内紊乱进行分期。结果表明,活动是最可靠的变量,这表明它可能有助于描述肌肉不协调。当时间与另一个变量结合使用时,总体可重复性降低。
