The research question
What masticatory-muscle activation pattern accompanies the temporomandibular disorder, and can the patient improve voluntary regulation?
A focused surface-EMG and biofeedback service for temporomandibular disorders, measuring resting and task-related masticatory muscle activity and regulation.
Clinical EMG / biofeedback room
Technology configuration
Measurement follows the task
The technology path shown here is the approved structure for this service. The exact protocol is configured around the research question, environment and participant flow.
Rest, jaw movement, clenching/chewing tasks when clinically appropriate, and real-time feedback.
Typical protocol · Health
How this study is executed.
The protocol below reflects the service definition developed for Neuro Garage. Final details are confirmed before execution.
Select relevant masticatory muscles based on clinical evaluation.
Record resting EMG.
Run jaw movement and functional chewing/clenching tasks when appropriate.
Provide real-time feedback and down-regulation training.
Compare muscle activity across sessions.
