Abstract

Many athletes have been using occlusal stabilization appliances to improve their performance. Few studies have examined the benefits of such an appliance in golf. We determined the effect of such appliances on the masticatory muscle activities and driving distances of professional golf players. The appliances were customized for each player and adjusted using a computerized device. The electromyographic muscle activities and driving distances with and without the appliance were measured and compared using the K7 Analyzer and the GolfAchiever II assembly. A paired t-test was used for statistical analysis. The muscle activities of the temporo-frontal and masseter muscles with the appliance were significantly more stable than those without the appliance, and the driving distances with the appliance were significantly different from those without it. Although there were intra-individual differences, professional golf players with temporomandibular disorders showed a greater improvement in performance.

현재 스포츠 치의학은 두가지 방면으로 연구가 진행되고 있는데, 하나는 부드러운 재질로 만든 마우스 가드로 스포츠 외상의 예에 관한 연구이고, 또 하나는 딱딱한 재질로 만든 교합안정장치로, 구강 기능과 전신의 운동능력과 의 상관성에 관한 연구이다. 현재 많은 프로선수들이 운동능력향상을 위해 교합안정장치를 사용해 오고 있다. 그러나 국내에서는 스포츠 치의학에 대한 관심이 적어 위와 같은 연구가 이루어져 있지 않을 뿐만 아니라 그러한 연구를 위한 기초 자료조차도 준비되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 또한 소수의 연구에서 실험 대상자의 정확한 분석과 교합 안정장치 장착 전과 후의 변화를 보여주지 못하고 있다. 이에 저자는 골프선수들의 교합분석과 턱관절분석을 시행하고, 피검자의 상태에 따른 정확한 교합안정장치를 제작하여 장치 장착 전과 후의 저작근의 근활성량의 변화와 드라이버 비거리의 변화를 측정하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 교합안정장치를 장착함으로써 저작근의 근안정이 유도되고, 드라이버 비거리가 증가되었다. 특히 측두하악장애를 지닌 골프선수일수록 교합균형장치를 사용함으로 드라이버 비거리의 향상에 도움이 될 것이라고 기대된다.
