Abstract
This study brought a more complete picture of the investigated phenomenon regarding how an evoked jaw imbalance caused the loss of arm strength and how to recover this strength. It also suggested that the proposed mechanical model, although simple, was a suitable tool to characterize, optimize and allowed further investigations of this phenomenon, and the emitted hypothesis was plausible. It paves the way to new clinical studies with patients to investigate and manage this kind of temporomandibular joint disorder, and to novel investigations in sport medicine.
