The authors performed a experimental study to evaluate the effects of masticatory muscle fatigue on tooth contact and masticatory muscle activity in 26 normal healthy women. The experimental masticatory muscle fatigue was induced by unilateral biting of 5kg force on mandibular first molar. The results were as follows : 1. The initial symptom related to muscle fatigue pain appeared in 85.19 seconds of isometric contraction and the endurance time of isometric contraction was 203.15 seconds. 2. The pain occurred more frequently in masseter region than in temporal region. In masseter pain the incidence was almost equal between both sides, whereas the temporal pain was more in contralateral side. 3. The spontaneity and the symmetry of tooth contact during maximum clenching were reduced after isometric unilateral biting. 4. After induction of experimental muscle fatigue, the EMG activities of masseter muscles of both sides and ipsilateral temporal muscle showed the tendency of decreasing activities. 5. The asymmetry indicies of masseter and temporal muscles were reduced after isometric bilateral biting.

회내족은 넙다리두갈래근의 활성화를 증가시키거나 근피로 또는 과사용증후군(overuse syndromes)을 초래한다. 본 연구에서는 회내각(pronation angles)이 20° 이상인 회내족 피험자를 대상으로 회내각과 근피로지수와의 관계를 파악하는 것이다. 나이 범위가 15-61세인 12명의 피험자가 실험에 참여하였으며, 30초 동안 4.5 km/h의 속도로 트레드밀 보행시 넙다리두갈래근의 근전도를 측정하여 근피로지수인 중앙주파수와 저주파수 대역 크기의 기울기를 산출하였다. 본 연구에 참여한 피험자로부터 산출한 두 가지 근피로지수와 회내각 사이의 관계가 정상인과 유사할 것이라는 가정 하에 실험한 결과, 근피로지수와 회내각 사이의 유의한 상관성을 얻을 수 있었다 (r>0.60; p<0.05).
