Abstract:

Introduction
Posture control is essential for human life and involves controlling the position of the body with respect to the environment for the dual purposes of stability and orientation. Thereby, multiple sensory signals from visual, somatosensory, and vestibular systems are used. The sensory information is transformed into motor commands to control posture in a task-specific manner (Shumway-Cook & Woollacott, 2017). Previous studies showed that sensory input originating from the stomatognathic motor system (resulting from different oral motor activities, e. g., jaw clenching in different positions of the lower jaw, tongue pressing or chewing) may influence postural control under static conditions (e. g. Ringhof, Leibold, Hellmann, & Stein, 2015; Sakaguchi et al., 2007) drinking and speaking. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possible effects of tongue position on the postural control system.
Materials and method: We compared the mean center of gravity (COG. Particularly, controlled jaw clenching activities during upright standing have been shown to reduce the body sway (Ringhof et al., 2015) as well as the muscular co-contraction variability in the lower extremities (Hellmann et al., 2015). ... mehr
