Integration of sensory and motor information is one-step, among others, that underlies the
successful production of goal-directed hand movements necessary for interacting with our …

The oro‐facial sensorimotor system is a unique system significantly distinguished from the
spinal sensorimotor system. The jaw muscles are involved in mastication, swallowing and …

This study investigated the efficacy of combining low-level laser therapy (LLLT) with oral
motor exercises (OM-exercises) for rehabilitation of patients with chronic temporomandibular …

Tooth loss, decreased mass and strength of the masticatory muscles leading to difficulty in
chewing have been suggested as important determinants of eating and nutrition in the …

According to the “pain adaptation model”, temporomandibular disorder (TMD)-related pain
induces a paradoxical activity of masticatory muscles: an agonistic hypoactivity during jaw …

The individual inclination to lead an autonomous life until death is associated with
requirements that may be of physiological, psychosocial and environmental nature. We aim …

This study investigated the effect of repeated tongue lift training (TLT) on the excitability of
the corticomotor representation of the human tongue and jaw musculature. Sixteen …

Measures of performance rates in speech-like or volitional nonspeech oral motor tasks are
frequently used to draw inferences about articulation rate abnormalities in patients with …

Background Orthognathic surgery has been performed with increasing frequency for the
treatment of severe malocclusion, yet the postsurgical neuromuscular recovery of patients …

The orofacial sensorimotor cortex is known to play a role in motor learning. However, how
motor learning changes the dynamics of neuronal activity and whether these changes differ …
