Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Surface electromyography (EMG) exam of facial muscles (masseter, temporal and upper and lower mouth orbicular muscles during rest and isommetry of labial and masticatory muscles. The duration of the EMG was about an hour. Each signal was recorded during 10 seconds.
