| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Mouthguards are not only effective in preventing and mitigating sports injuries, but also reportedly improve equilibrium and affect motor functions in other ways. The present study examined the stress that mouthguards place on athletes, as well as the effect of mouthguards on body sway and grip force.
Mouthguards were consequently found to provide stable occlusal contact without increasing stress on athletes or negatively affecting their performance. These results suggest that mouthguards can contribute to the prevention and mitigation of sports injuries.
