This study aimed to Study the effect of Nociceptive Trigeminal
Inhibition (NTI) splint on EMG changes for masseter and
temporalis muscles in TMDs patients , and studying the discomfort
degree to this splint.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of NTI-TSS splint (Tension suppression
system- Inhibition trigeminal nociceptive) in the treatment of TMD (temporomandibular
Disorder ) by using the EMG Electromyography. Fifteen patients have TMD were
selected
for this study. They were examined according to special examination form.
EMG examinations for the masseter musclses before and after treatment by NTI
splint for eight weeks every night were collected and anylysed.The results showed that :
Turns increased from 375.3 to 423.18 left side and 358.7 to 408.87 right side, also
amptiludes increased from 136.88 to 176.66 the right side, and 136.24 to 164.9 on the left
side.
It can be concluded that splint was effective in relieving symptoms and signs of
TMD, and it found that NTI is comfortable splint , and easy to use by a Doctor and
patient.
The aim of this paper is to study the relation between muscles electrical activity and knee movement during walking for patient with patellafemoral pain by measurement both of electromyography (EMG) and changing of knee angle by electro-goniometer. T
he start and end of the gait cycle were determined by foot sensors, A program was designed for signal processing of the data, Testes were carried out at Hamish hospital in Damascus.
Subjects were divided into two groups: 46 normal subjects and 21 patient. Final results also showed that hamstring group activity and galf group activity decreases during stance phase because knee cancel it first flexion with increase in quadriceps femoris activity to keep extension of knee.
In swing phase, it is noted that the decrease in knee flexion and it depends on the increase in quadriceps femoris activity in all the period of swing phase, but hamstring group activity increases to keep hip instability, that is, it responds to increase activity of
quadriceps femoris with less knee flexion. The activity of subject muscles in the period of gait cycle is less than normal muscles.
