Muscle activity in the course of rehabilitation of masticatory motor system functional disorders.

On the basis of selected cases, evaluation of the usefulness of muscular exercises in rehabilitation of patients stricken by a dysfunction of the motor system of the chewing organ was accomplished. The assessment of the electric function of chewing muscles together with the registration of mandibular movements with the axiographic Zebris JMA apparatus was made, both before and after muscular therapy. The examination has shown that regardless of micro or macro-traumatic cause, the set of muscular exercises appropriately selected and dutifully carried out is able to restore full condition of the motor system of the bone-dental structure effectively.
