Figure 12 Masticatory kinematic patterns in the frontal plane before (up) and after (down) treatment of the patient during chewing a hard bolus. The solid green line shows the opening and the solid red line shows the closing pattern. They represent the average chewing cycle of 3 trials lasting 10 s each; the green and red areas represent the standard deviation over the average cycle. (A) Deliberate chewing on the right side, (B) deliberate chewing on the left side. During chewing on the left side, the mandible is not able to move on the left side. Deliberate chewing after therapy on the right (C) and left (D) sides shows that the displacement on the left side improved.
