Diagnosis, treatment planning, and surgical correction of obstructive sleep apnea.

29 Sep 2009 The aim of this report is to present the scientific rationale for considering maxillomandibular advancement as the surgical treatment of choice in selected patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome; review the treatment planning that will ... Read more...

Short-term effects of implemented high intensity shoulder elevation during computer work.

8 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Work-site strength training sessions are shown effective to prevent and reduce neck-shoulder pain in computer workers, but difficult to integrate in normal working routines. A solution for avoiding neck-shoulder pain during computer work ... Read more...

Static and dynamic mechanics of the temporomandibular joint: plowing forces, joint load and tissue stress.

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVES - To determine the combined effects 1) of stress-field aspect ratio and velocity and compressive strain and 2) joint load, on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc mechanics. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION - Fifty-two subjects (30 female; 22 ... Read more...
