On average, the MVC of the T muscles was higher than for the M (MVC Right T = 277 ± 38 µV, MVC Left T = 285 ± 113 µV, MVC Right M = 212 ± 97 µV, MVC Left M = 231 ± 86 µV). Clinical outcomes and QoL for the patients Before the surgery, the pain was extreme for the two patients, rated as a "not controlled pain". Evolution of the EMG activities for the patients Before the surgery, the EMG activities during the rest were higher than the asymptomatic values for all the muscles. [Extracted from the article]

The article presents a case study of a 26-year-old man with mild dysfunction of the masticatory system. It mentions that the case of another man without emporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder was used as a reference. It notes that an articular problem in TMJ can modify its kinematics and dynamics. It also emphasizes the creation of a dynamical model to assess muscular and joint reaction forces. It also emphasizes that the model shows the muscular adaptations to asymmetrical condylar kinematics.
