Abstract
Many people suffer from temporomadibular joint (TMJ) pain and need treatment. However, the outcome of such physical therapy is often not evaluated objectively. The range of motion of the jaw could be used as an objective criterion for monitoring the effect of therapy for such patients. In this study the authors designed and manufactured such a device to measure the three dimensional motion of the jaw for human patients.
