Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Luc is continuing education numerous certifications temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD). TMJD is an umbrella term covering pain and dysfunction of the muscles of mastication and the temporomandibular joints. The most important feature is pain, followed by restricted mandibular movement, and noises from the temporomandibular joints during jaw movement. Although TMJD is not life-threatening, it can be detrimental to quality of life; this is because the symptoms can become chronic and difficult to manage. Examples include: headache, facial pain, migraine, tension headache, myofascial pain, pain elsewhere, such as the teeth or neck, diminished auditory acuity, etc... Physiotherapy for TMJD may include the use of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), which may override pain by stimulation of superficial nerve fibers and lead to pain reduction which extends after the time where the TENS is being actually being applied, possibly due to release of endorphins. Others recommend the use of ultrasound, theorized to produce tissue heating, alter blood flow and metabolic activity at a level that is deeper than possible with surface heat applications. There is tentative evidence that low level laser therapy may help with pain. Relaxation techniques include progressive muscle relaxation and meditation. It has been suggested that TMJD involves increased sensitivity to external stimuli leading to an increased sympathetic response with cardiovascular and respiratory alterations. Relaxation techniques cause reduced sympathetic activity, including muscle relaxation and reducing sensitivity to external stimuli, and provoke a general sense of well being and reduced anxiety.

The Significance of Biometric Sensors: Your Health in Real-Time

EMG Sensor The electromyogram (EMG) sensor detects electrical activity from a muscle using conductive pads placed on the skin. Every time the muscle is activated, individual fibres within it receive electrical impulses, causing them to contract. The firing pattern is random, such that while some fibres are active, others are resting. The stronger the contraction, the more fibres are working at a time and the greater the electrical activity. The muscle sensor reads the sum total of activity, which is effectively a noise signal because it is composed of many random impulses. The example below is a sound recording of a fist being clenched and released and is similar to the noise of wind.
