title: The accelerative component of EMG in bite force development in man.
abstract: Masseter EMG and bite force recordings were made from six subjects. Multiple regression analysis was performed and an equation produced relating EMG and bite force in SI units. Evidence is presented for a component of masseter EMG which can be related to the acceleration of bite force during onset of a clench.
