  1. University of Zurich, Switzerland Optimization of threshold values for automated analysis of EMG recordings. L.M. Gallo*, P. Rompré, G.J. Lavigne and S. Palla

  2. Long-time EMG Orofacial motor activityduring sleepis still a controversial issue.

  3. Ambulant long-time EMG recording • Solberg et al., 1975 • Burgar & Rugh, 1983 • Lotzmann et al., 1992 • Bowley JF et al., 1993 • Rivera-Morales & McCall, 1995 • Gallo & Palla, 1995

  4. Normative study Gallo LM, Salis Gross SS & Palla S Nocturnal masseter EMG activity of healthy subjects in a natural environment.J Dent Res78(8):1436-1444, 1999

  5. biosignal recorder personal computer EMG tracing Recording system

  6. Subjects of the normative study 21 asymptomatic volunteers (6 females and 15 males)mean age 31 (22 to 37)

  7.

  8. [mV] Signal levels

  9. Contraction episodes • N: 72 ± 29 per night 11 ± 4 per hour • Amean: 26 ± 6 %MVC • Amax: 38 ± 9 %MVC • T: 5 ± 2 s • I: 124 ± 58 %MVCs Normative study

  10. Aim of this study Optimization of a simple threshold criterionfor best separation in the automated analysesof EMG recordingsin bruxers and controls.

  11. 120 V right masseter 60 V left masseter 60 V right temporalis 60 V left temporalis 140 V digastric Polysomnography: EMG

  12. Present study Data from a single masseter channel of polysomnographic recordings.

  13. POLYSOM: ti = 7.8125 ms (128 Hz) 330 mV BSR: ti = 10 ms (100 Hz) BSR: ti = 100 ms (10 Hz) BSR: ti = 500 ms (2 Hz) Reformatting of POLYSOM signal

  14. Data analysis • N: number of episodes • Amean: mean amplitude • Amax: maximum amplitude • T: duration • I: integral amplitude over time

  15. Subjects 10 bruxers (5 f & 5 m, aged 23-39 y) 10 controls (5 f & 5 m, aged 21-45 y)

  16. 5% • 10% • 15% • 20% [du] [du] bruxers controls Variation of threshold A0

  17. Sleep duration bruxers: 8:24 ± 0:39controls: 8:25 ± 0:28

  18. Example: Amax [du] bruxers controls threshold

  19. Best separation of analysis parameters A0 = 10 %MVC

  20. Contraction episodes • N: 178 ± 37 per night 22 ± 4 per hour • Amean: 26 ± 4 %MVC • Amax: 46 ± 8 %MVC • T: 7 ± 2 s • I: 210 ± 65 %MVCs Bruxers (threshold A0 = 10 %MVC)

  21. Contraction episodes • N: 103 ± 30 per night 14 ± 3 per hour • Amean: 22 ± 2 %MVC • Amax: 36 ± 6 %MVC • T: 5 ± 1 s • I: 133 ± 28 %MVCs Controls (threshold A0 = 10 %MVC)

  22. Comparison bruxers-controls

  23. Contraction episodes • N/night: p < 0.01 • N/hour: p < 0.01 • Amean: p < 0.01 • Amax: p < 0.01 • T: p < 0.01 • I: p < 0.01 Difference controls-bruxers at 10 %MVC

  24. Separation bruxers/controls A lower threshold of 10 %MVCappears to be an effective criterion yielding the best separation between bruxers and controlsin an automated analysis of masseter EMG recordings.
