Abstract | © 2017 John Wiley & Sons Ltd There is limited information of the normal function of the human medial pterygoid muscle (MPt). The aims were to determine whether (i) the MPt is active throughout horizontal jaw movements with the teeth apart and (ii) whether single motor units (SMUs) are active during horizontal and opening–closing jaw movements. Intramuscular electrodes were placed in the right MPt of 18 participants who performed five teeth-apart tasks: (i) postural position, (ii) ipsilateral (i.e. right) jaw movement, (iii) contralateral movement, (iv) protrusive movement and (v) opening–closing movement. Movement tasks were guided by a target and were divided into BEFORE, OUT, HOLDING, RETURN and AFTER phases according to the movement trajectories recorded by a jaw tracking system. Increased EMG activity was consistently found in the OUT, HOLDING and RETURN phases of the contralateral and protrusive movement tasks. An increased RETURN phase activity in the ipsilateral task indicates an important role for the MPt in the contralateral force vector. Of the 14 SMUs active in the opening–closing task, 64% were also active in at least one horizontal task. There were tonically active SMUs at the postural jaw position in 44% of participants. These new data point to an important role for the MPt in the fine control of low forces as required for stabilisation of vertical mandibular position not only to maintain postural position, but also throughout horizontal jaw movements with the teeth apart. These findings provide baseline information for future investigations of the possible role of this muscle in oro-facial pain conditions. |
