Abstract
This study was carried out to evaluate the load distribution along the two feet in subjects with rotated mandibles. This study used the Staticus device from Smylist® to map the foot pressure loads after the three jump test. Data was obtained from 20 subjects. The Staticus data was acquired by the Smylist® analytic software and the load distribution patterns were obtained. Subjects were selected so as to have at least 75% of them exhibiting an asymmetrical vertically displaced pattern. The Smylist® concept has presented a logical sequence of events which leads from a rotated mandible to overloading of one leg based on the complexity of the mandibular rotation. This is the first study ever to digitally ascertain the variation in the load patterns. It was found that in the subjects who exhibited a vertical foot position discrepancy also had a discrepancy in the load patterns and mandibular rotations.
