Equilibrium and Balance01:15

Equilibrium and Balance

The inner ear assumes dual functionalities of auditory perception and equilibrium maintenance. The vestibule is the organ responsible for balance. This organ contains mechanoreceptors, specifically hair cells, endowed with stereocilia, which aid in deciphering information regarding the position and motion of our heads. Two intrinsic components, the utricle and saccule, help perceive head position, while the semicircular canals track head movement. Neurological messages initiated in the...

Summary

Altering the jaw position, specifically through horizontal mandibular deviation, significantly impacts dynamic balance. This suggests a crucial link between the stomatognathic system and maintaining upright posture on unstable surfaces.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Human Physiology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Human balance involves static and dynamic components.
  • The influence of the stomatognathic system on dynamic balance remains under-investigated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of horizontal mandibular deviation on dynamic balance.
  • To clarify the relationship between the stomatognathic system and postural stability.

Main Methods:

  • Fifteen healthy adults participated.
  • Three conditions tested: resting mandibular position, splint-maintained deviated position, and splint-maintained rest position.
  • Participants stood on an unstable board, and board angle variations were measured.

Main Results:

  • Dynamic balance, measured by board inclination, was most compromised in the deviated mandibular position.
  • Splint-maintained deviated mandibular position resulted in the largest angle variations.

Conclusions:

  • Horizontal mandibular deviation negatively affects upright posture stability on unstable platforms.
  • Changes in the stomatognathic system demonstrably influence dynamic balance.
