The design of a special-purpose muscle stretcher for reflex studies of the human jaw-closing muscles is described. The device is based on a servo-controlled electromagnetic vibrator which imposes controlled displacements on the lower jaw. The mechanics of the device keep jaw movements coaxial with the temporomandibular joint during the stretches. The design incorporates important safety features including mechanical stops and electronic cut-outs to protect the jaws from excessive stretches.
本文描述了一种用于人体咬肌反射研究的专用肌肉拉伸器的设计。该装置基于一个伺服控制的电磁振动器,它能对下颌施加可控位移。在拉伸过程中,该装置的机械结构能使下颌运动与颞下颌关节保持同轴。该设计包含重要的安全特性,包括机械限位器和电子切断装置,以保护下颌免受过度拉伸。
