The diversity of mammalian masticatory systems has attracted considerable attention for a
long time. In the first half of this century, numerous descriptive studies appeared, including …

A three-dimensional mathematical model of the human masticatory system, containing 16
muscle forces and two joint reaction forces, is described. The model allows simulation of static …

A mathematical model of the patellofemoral joint taking into account movements and forces
in the sagittal plane is described. The system parameters of the model are the locations of …

The activity patterns of the masseter and the anterior temporal muscles were studied in
twenty‐one healthy male subjects while clenching at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50% of the maximum …

In adult human subjects, the correlations were determined between the cross‐sectional areas
of the jaw muscles (measured in CT scans) and a number of facial angles and dimensions …

Jaw muscle activity and mandibular movements were studied in the domestic rabbit by
quantitative electromyography and cineradiography. Mandibular movement profile and occlusal …

Cross-sectional areas of the masseter, temporalis and medial, and lateral pterygoid muscles
were determined in 16 subjects by means of computer tomography. In each subject three …

The masticatory apparatus in the albino rat was studied by means of electromyography and
subsequent estimation of muscular forces. The activity patterns of the trigeminal and …

Long-face subjects have smaller maximum molar bite forces than do normal individuals. This
has been attributed both to differences in moment arms and size of the jaw muscles. In this …

Cross-sectional areas of the jaw muscles were determined by means of magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) in 12 healthy adult male subjects. These findings were compared with the …
