Surface Electromyography as a Method for Diagnosing Muscle Function in Patients with Congenital Maxillofacial Abnormalities

Abstract: Electromyography (EMG) is the most objective and reliable method available for imaging muscle function and efficiency, which is done by identifying their electrical potentials. In global surface electromyography (sEMG), surface electrodes are located on the surface of the skin, and it detects superimposed motor unit action potentials from many muscle fibers. sEMG is widely used in orthodontics and maxillofacial orthopaedics to diagnose and treat temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in patients, assess stomatognat… Show more

“…“Every ball must be fought” has become an important goal for the team to carry out tactics and technology. All volleyball powers in the world have made deliberate research on how to improve the attack of their own team and strengthen the defense ability of the other team [ 1 ]. Serving skill is one of the basic skills of volleyball.…”

“…Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a technique that contributes to a better knowledge of muscle physiology and assists in the differential diagnosis and monitoring of TMD [ 25 ]. This diagnostic tool can assess the behavior of muscles intervening in the TMJ at rest and during human jaw motion [ 26 ].…”

“…The visual assessment of muscular hypotonia is often subjective and is devoid of much of the relevant qualitative and quantitative information that sEMG can provide. Precise analysis of the muscle electrical activity using sEMG performed in various tests simplifies the quantitative analysis of the stomatognathic system and allows for objective muscle assessment [10][11][12][13]. The sEMG signals, conducted through tissues and recorded by surface electrodes, represent the temporal and spatial summation of the populations of nearby motor units [14].…”
