Motor behavior of masticatory muscles in individuals with unilateral trans-incisive foramen cleft lip and palate

Objective: To investigate whether children with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (CLP) have altered control of masticatory muscles. Methods: The muscular activity of 66 children with CLP (n = 33) and without CLP (n = 33), aged 6-12 years was assessed during different tasks (rest, isometry, m...

Description
Summary:Objective: To investigate whether children with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (CLP) have altered control of masticatory muscles. Methods: The muscular activity of 66 children with CLP (n = 33) and without CLP (n = 33), aged 6-12 years was assessed during different tasks (rest, isometry, mastication) using electromyography. Results: The activation for the analyzed muscles was higher in children with CLP at rest (R) and inactive period (IP) (p
