The purpose of this study was to develop a new method of calculating the bite force of patients using electromyography. In the report we describe a sampling frequency for analog-to-digital conversion in the computerized data analysis system.
To summarize the results:
1. A sampling frequency of 2 kHz per data channel is suitable for measurement of the calibration voltage of the EMG amplifier.
2. A sampling frequency of 1-2 kHz per data channel is suitable for analysis of integrated EMG.
3. A sampling frequency of 2 kHz is suitable for the analysis of the rhythm and coordination of mastication.
Further study is necessary to establish the necessary theoretical foundations and parameters in order to measure the duration of the EMG using the computerized data analysis system.
