Protocol 94-CC-0130: Dynamic Kinematic Analyses of Mandibular Motor Function in Jaw Dystonia and Cerebral Palsy This project under RMD Screening protocol 94-CC-0130 focuses on the development of baseline measurement and experimental procedures for 3D kinematic and SEMG analyses of mandibular function using the JMA-WinJaw System. This system has the potential to provide precise recordings of the state and mobility of the mandible joint for functional and treatment analyses. Simple, rapid, high precision measurements with extremely light sensors may provide a means to determine 3D movement patterns in subjects that cannot maintain head-neck stability and misinterpretations of the functional evaluation of the condyle paths should be minimized. The measurements can be monitored in real time with the addition of myographic data for analyses of functional disturbances. The pilot project is part of Summer Internship Program projects and will be used to develop novel methods to evaluate jaw kinematic data for applications in individuals with movement disorders.
