Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between the refractive error, muscle thickness, and the bioelectrical activity of selected masticatory and neck muscles in subjects with myopia.
Methods: For bioelectrical activity analysis within the masticatory muscles, an 8-channel BioEMG III electromyograph was used. An M-Turbo ultrasound machine was used to analyze the masticatory and neck muscle thickness.
Results: Statistical analysis showed significant positive correlations between masseter muscle thickness at rest on the right side. Statistical analysis showed negative correlations between the digastric muscle and Activity Index within masticatory muscles at rest on the left side when the eyes were closed.
Conclusions: As refractive error increases in myopic subjects, the resting tension on the temporal muscles increases, an increase in masseter muscle thickness is noted, and a decrease in bioelectrical activity on the digastric muscle at rest.
期刊介绍:
CRANIO: The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice is the oldest and largest journal in the world devoted to temporomandibular disorders, and now also includes articles on all aspects of sleep medicine. The Journal is multidisciplinary in its scope, with editorial board members from all areas of medicine and dentistry, including general dentists, oral surgeons, orthopaedists, radiologists, chiropractors, professors and behavioural scientists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, osteopathic and ear, nose and throat physicians.
CRANIO publishes commendable works from outstanding researchers and clinicians in their respective fields. The multidisciplinary format allows individuals practicing with a TMD emphasis to stay abreast of related disciplines, as each issue presents multiple topics from overlapping areas of interest.
CRANIO''s current readership (thousands) is comprised primarily of dentists; however, many physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic physicians and other related specialists subscribe and contribute to the Journal.
