Synthesis of Mandibular Movements from Basic Motion Modes Considering Dynamic Profile of Masticatory Muscles

Mandibular movement is performed by many masticatory muscles. It is important to estimate muscular activities in mastication for examining mechanical function of the movement. However, the estimation method has not yet been established. This study proposes a new method to clarify the cooperative cha...
