Physiological rationale for an effective method of deprogramming the masticatory muscles for persons engaged in strength training

Abstract

The study is devoted to the topical issue of physiological justification for the use of various methods for relaxation of masticatory muscles in a state of hypertension in individuals engaged in strength training. Data are presented on a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the effects of the following deprogramming devices on the masticatory muscles: “Aquasplint”, muscle relaxation mouthguard and transcutaneous electrical neurostimulation, according to electromyography of the masticatory muscles and Dopplerography of the superficial temporal arteries. The predominant physiological effectiveness of using a stabilizing mouthguard and transcutaneous electrical neurostimulation as a method of targeted impact on the tone of the masticatory muscles has been established.
