Relation between integrated electromyographic activity and biting force during voluntary isometric contraction in human masticatory muscles. 1979

Y Kawazoe, and H Kotani, and T Hamada

The relation between integrated electromyographic activity and computed biting force during voluntary isometric contraction was evaluated in the masticatory muscles of healthy subjects. The slopes of the curves relating integrated electromyographic activity to computed biting force in masseter muscles were steeper on the non-preferred chewing side than on the preferred chewing side, and they progressively became steeper during the course of continuous isometric contraction of a given biting force.
