|a The purpose of this study was to examine the impacts of non-custom mouthguards on muscular strength performance of the knee and shoulder joint, as well as jump height in collegiate athletes who do not manifest Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD). Twenty-four college students volunteered to participate, all of who were current members of varsity-level teams. The subjects were divided into four groups; two of these groups used an upper mouthguard, and the other two groups used a double mouthguard; there were also differences in the order in which the mouthguard was used. The data for muscular strength was taken as the participant was seated in a stabilized chair of a Biodex System 3 dynamometer, while the jump height was assessed using a Vertec jump height apparatus. Repetitions of knee flexion/extension and shoulder external rotation/internal rotation at 60 degrees per second and 180 degrees per second were taken, as well as jump height differentials. Measurements were recorded for the single peak torque and total work, as well as jump height for each of the sets and jumps for all groups; the average of the first three sets and the average of the last three sets were used for data analysis. Seventeen 4 x 2 mixed-model ANOVAs were calculated to examine the effects of group and test (with mouthguard/without mouthguard) on each measured variable. Significant effects were only found for peak torque away at 60 degrees per second and for total work away at 180 degrees per second; all other data was deemed not significant. Results may have been affected by inappropriate fit of mouthguard treatment or the inability to exclude asymptomatic TMD participants properly. Future research should investigate the effects of mandibular adjustment on the different joints of the body, as well as utilize varying sizes of mouthguards while still maintaining the non-custom aspect of the appliances. |
