| Research Abstract |
We built the simultaneous measurements of body sway and head position, and those of the electromyographic (EMG) activity of craniocervical muscles and dental occlusion in order to establish the methodology for the quantitative evaluation elucidating the interrelationship between stomatognathic function and the general health of the body. The result of our examination clearly showed that there was a significant correlation between body posture, head position and dental occlusion. Moreover, we were able to establish the methodology for the quantitative evaluation elucidating the interrelationship between dental occlusion and body posture.
