| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of masticatory movements on the postural control in sitting posture. When subjects masticated gummy jelly with sitting position, head sway during mastication was larger than it in the rest position and centric occlusion (p<0.05), trunk sway during mastication was smaller than it in the two mandibular positions (p<0.05), while fluctuations of the lower limbs during mastication was showing a tendency to increase compared to those in the two mandibular positions. There were found to have correlations in head and trunk sways, seat and plantar pressure distributions during mastication (p<0.05). These findings suggest that masticatory movements affect the postural control by enhancing the postural stability during sitting position, evoking the interrelationship between movements of head, trunk and lower limbs.
