Avaliação eletromiográfica dos músculos masseter, temporal e bucinador de lactentes em situação de aleitamento natural e artificial /

Gomes, Cristiane Faccio. January 2005 (has links)
Orientador: Ercília Maria Caroni Trezza / Banca: Emílio Cezar Mamede Murade / Banca: Luciana Tavares Sebastião / Banca: Maria Teresa Cera Sanches / Resumo: Considerando as especificidades da eletromiografia com eletrodos de captação de superfície na avaliação da atividade muscular e a escassez de trabalhos que demonstrem as diferenças entre as atividades dos músculos responsáveis pela sucção no aleitamento materno, aleitamento por mamadeira e por copo em lactentes, este trabalho tem como objetivos: a) estabelecer um padrão da participação dos músculos masseter, temporal e bucinador no grupo de aleitamento materno com lactentes a termo e sadios e b) mensurar e comparar a atividade muscular dos músculos masseter, temporal e bucinador quando em aleitamento materno, aleitamento por mamadeira e por copo, no que se refere à amplitude e média de contração. Para tanto utiliza-se o estudo transversal, com participação de sessenta lactentes nascidos a termo e sem intercorrências, entre dois e três meses de idade, divididos em três grupos: 1) vinte lactentes em aleitamento materno exclusivo, 2) vinte lactentes em aleitamento misto com uso de mamadeira e 3) vinte lactentes em aleitamento materno exclusivo com uso de copo. Foi realizada eletromiografia com eletrodos de captação de superfície durante a alimentação do lactente. O teste estatístico utilizado foi Krushal-Wallis complementado com as comparações múltiplas entre pares de grupos e todas as discussões foram realizadas no nível de 5% de significância. Verifica-se, inicialmente, que na padronização do grupo de aleitamento materno obtém-se maior participação do músculo temporal, seguido do masseter, ficando o bucinador com menores valores tanto no que se refere à amplitude quanto à média de contração muscular, revelando que, de acordo com a literatura, no aleitamento materno o lactente apresenta condições para o adequado crescimento das estruturas e desenvolvimento das funções...

For this a transversal study was utilized with participation of sixty newborn infants at term and without complications, aged between two and three months, divided into three groups: 1) twenty lactents under exclusive breastfeeding; 2) twenty lactents under breast and bottle fed and 3) twenty lactents in exclusive breastfeeding with cup use. Electromyography was realized with surface electrodes during infant feeding. The statistical test utilized was Krushal-Wallis complemented with multiple comparisons between pairs of groups and the level of significance of all discussions was 5%. It was verified that, initially, in standard of the breastfeeding group was obtained the greatest participation of the temporal muscle, followed by the masseter and with the buccinator presenting the smallest values for amplitude as much as mean muscular contraction, revealing that, in agreement with the literature, in breastfeeding the lactent presents adequate growth of structures and development of Stomatognathic System. From measuring and comparing results of muscular activity of muscles... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Doutor

A Theory of Brasswind Embouchure Based upon Facial Anatomy, Electromyographic Kinesiology, and Brasswind Embouchure Pedagogy

Isley, Charles L., 1920- 08 1900 (has links)
The purposes of this study are to identify and describe the function and control of facial muscles as related to sound production on brasswind instruments, to explore electromyographic theory and techniques with particular regard to the function and control of facial muscles, to identify basic theories of embouchure among brasswind teachers and performers, to develop a theory of brasswind embouchure based upon the preceding factors, and to propose recommendations with regard to brasswind pedagogy. Existing theories of embouchure were investigated by reviewing the extensive brasswind pedagogical literature, and by interviewing teachers representing two widely differing views. Electromyographic kinesiology of facial muscles was investigated as follows: a description of facial muscles was formulated by collating anatomy books; related electromyographic literature was reviewed; eloctromyographic recordings of facial muscled during, the performance of various facial muscle tasks and during brasswind performance were made using indwelling fine-wire electrodes. The following fundamental questions were raised: (1) What are the elements of brasswind embouchure, and what is the effect of each upon performance? (2) Is there a single embouchure mode which may be considered most efficient, and if so, what facial muscles are involved, and how may they be trained?

Preferência mastigatória em pacientes com paralisia facial periférica flácida de duração igual ou superior a seis meses: estudo clínico e eletromiográfico / Clinical and electromyographic study of lateral preference in mastication in patients with long-standing peripheral facial paralysis

Carvalho, Adriana Rahal Rebouças de 18 February 2009 (has links)
Introdução: a paralisia facial periférica (PFP) é caracterizada por lesão geralmente unilateral do nervo facial em qualquer parte de seu trajeto. Na paralisia total há perda dos movimentos de todos os segmentos da hemiface ipsilateral à lesão. Clinicamente observa-se que a maioria dos pacientes com PFP em fase flácida apresenta dificuldade para mastigar do lado paralisado, pois a manutenção dos alimentos entre as arcadas dentárias está comprometida pela falta de participação do músculo bucinador. Aliada a isso pode ocorrer incompetência labial devido à flacidez da hemiface afetada em conseqüência à queda da comissura labial ipsilateral. Objetivo: verificar as conseqüências da PFP unilateral na fase flácida, com duração de pelo menos seis meses, na função mastigatória quanto a preferência clínica mastigatória e diferença eletromiográfica entre os masseteres.Casuística e Método: foram selecionados 27 indivíduos de ambos os gêneros, com PFP em fase flácida com pelo menos seis meses de paralisia, com idade entre 16 anos e 67 anos, com dentição natural permanente, selecionados por um protocolo específico, complementado com exame clínico miofuncional e avaliação eletromiográfica de superfície nos músculos masseteres nas provas de aperto dentário e mastigação habitual. Resultados: de acordo com as respostas da anamnese, 77,8% dos pacientes referiram mastigar preferencialmente do lado sadio. Clinicamente, 70% apresentaram preferência mastigatória. A atividade muscular dos bucinadores e orbicular da boca foi estatisticamente significante (p = 0,025) entre os lados sadio e paralisado. Apenas, 22,2% dos pacientes apresentou diminuição de massa do masseter do lado paralisado. Não houve diferença eletromiográfica estatisticamente significante entre os lados sadio e paralisado nos masseteres. Conclusão: no presente estudo, pacientes com PFP unilateral na fase flácida, com duração de pelo menos seis meses, apresentaram preferência clínica mastigatória pelo lado sadio. Não houve diferença clínica e eletromiográfica entre os lados paralisado e sadio nos músculos masseteres / Introduction: peripheral facial paralysis (PFP) usually affects the facial nerve in part or in whole on one side of the face. Most patients with PFP find it difficult to chew on the paralyzed side, especially due to compromised buccinator function. In addition, the sagging of the ipsilateral lip commissure tends to compromise lip competence. In spite of the importance of these associations, the literature on mastication difficulties in PFP patients is scarce, perhaps because the facial nerve has conventionally been considered to be responsible primarily for facial expression. Objective: to evaluate the impact of long-standing peripheral facial nerve paralysis upon mastication, regarding to clinical mastication preference besides clinical and electromyographic activity of the masseters. Method: the study included 27 male and female subjects aged 1669 years with permanent natural dentition and long-standing PFP. Patients answered questions on their mastication habits before and after onset of PFP and were submitted to clinical myofunctional examination and electromyographical tests of the masseters during clenching and habitual mastication. Results: according to the anamnesis, 77.8% claimed to prefer chewing on the unaffected side. Clinically, 70% presented a lateral preference in mastication. In the clinical evaluation, the buccinators and orbicularis oris activity differed significantly (p = 0.025) between the healthy and the paralyzed side. Only 22.2% of the patients presented increased thickness of the contralateral masseters. No statistical significant electromyographic difference was observed between the affected and unaffected masseters. Conclusion: in general, subjects with flaccid-stage PFP for 6 months or longer preferred to masticate on the unaffected side. No significant clinical or electromyographic differences were found between the affected and unaffected side masseter in this patient population
