“…As an evaluation procedure, clinical electromyography involves detecting and recording electric potentials of musculoskeletal fibers (6) . Electromyography (EMG) is the electric record of a muscle activity (5,7,8) . It monitors through sensors applied to the skin on appropriate muscles, where they are monitored and reproduced on a PC screen.…”

“…It monitors through sensors applied to the skin on appropriate muscles, where they are monitored and reproduced on a PC screen. It is basically used in the Occlusion field for evaluating the activity pattern of a working chewing muscle, as well as the resting postural position of the mandible (7) . It can be an additional and useful method for assessing chewing movements in temporomandibular disorders (9) .…”

“…Bipolar: two electrodes on the region of study and a third electrode -called grounding electrode -is placed somewhere not affected by the activity of the region of interest. Then, the difference of electric potential is measured between both electrodes on the region of interest, taking the grounding electrode as reference (3,7,8) .…”

A eletromiografia tem se mostrado um método eficaz no auxilio de diagnósticos e tratamentos de desordens musculares. Na odontologia sua principal aplicação é no tratamento das Disfunções Temporomandibulares. Os profissionais de odontologia não utilizam esta técnica por desconhecerem seus benefícios ou mesmo não terem conhecimento sobre o assunto. Um dos principais objetivos do tratamento utilizando eletromiografia é mostrar ao paciente o estado atual do músculo analisado e sua evolução durante o tratamento, até chegar a uma função satisfatória.

“…The synovial joints are generally very mobile and have elements of capsules, cavity, articular surfaces and ligaments (Balbinote 2003;Henry Gray 1999;O'rahillt, 1988;Öcal et al 2009). The terminology temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is adopted by the American Dental Association to cite this disorder, when there is pain in the preauricular region, in the masticatory muscles or TMJ, sounds in this joint during jaw function and limitations of jaw extension movements (Bassanta et al 1997;Machado 1998).…”

This study aimed at collecting data of masseter myofascial tension, related to the joint hyperactivity by electromyography activity of masseter muscle at rest, isotonic and isometric chewing. 08 patients living in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina, volunteers, aged between 22 and 62 years, both sexes were evaluated. The electromyography data collection at rest had reported that 50% showed differences in masseter muscle tension increased in the left for the right masseter; in isometric contraction, 50% had a difference in masseter tension right; in isotonic contraction 62.5% there was a difference in increased tension in the left masseter. Anthropometry of the face was suggested, where 25% showed significant variance of 01 cm of discrepancy on the right, in relation to the left. It is possible in the future, an early diagnosis and treatment, thus avoiding a source of pain, speech disorders and problems in the mastication system. For this we need to establish a direct follow-up control of at least one year after the treatment strategy

AbstractFibromyalgia is a rheumatic syndrome characterised by diffuse muscle pain, low pain threshold at tender points, and a series of associate symptoms such as fatigue, sleep disturbance, anxiety, morning stiffness, and dyspnea in some cases; due to its being chronic, the constant pain has often a negative impact on patients' quality of life. The aim of the present study is to assess the effectiveness of an eight-week physical Patients were divided into two groups (G1 and G2), both with 14 subjects each.. Both groups attended an educational session and 16 sessions of stretch and aerobic exercises; besides these, G2 patients also received TENS applications on four tender points (left and right trapezius and supraspinatus). Data collected at initial and final assessments were statistically treated, with significance level set at p=0,05. The comparison between the two assessments shows that both groups presented improved flexibility (with a statistically significant difference of p=0.00 and 0.04 for G1 and G2, respectively, at the fingertip-to-floor test), and pain reduction according to the McGill Questionnaire (p=0.03 and 0.01 for G1 and G2); G2 also indicated pain reduction at the VAS (p=0.00) and at the pain threshold on two treated tender points (L trapezius and R supraspinatus). As to quality of life, G1 reported improvement at the SF-36 (p=0.02) a nd G2 at the FIQ (p=0.00). No statistically significant differences were found between the two groups, except for the pain threshold on the left supraspinatus tender point (p=0,02). The proposed physical therapy program thus proved effective in reducing patients' pain and improving flexibility and quality of life; TENS application may have had a positive effect on treatment results. The educational approach as well as the good therapist-patient relationship may well contribute to patients changing habits and taking a more active part in their treatment.
