title: Freeway space measurement using mandibular kinesiograph and EMG before and after TENS.
abstract: This investigation expands on a previous pilot study of the effects of TENS on the resting position of the mandible. The tendency is for an increase in freeway space, but the variability of results makes individual evaluation essential.
