Figure 3. Actually measured masticatory forces with standard errors and forces estimated from the chewing activities of the 4 muscles in all subjects. Patients are arranged according to ascending values of measured forces (connected for the sake of clarity). The right-most compartment shows group means and standard errors (N = 9) of measured and estimated chewing forces. Patients #8 and #3 correspond to patient A and patient B of Fig. 1. Standard errors of measured forces are based on the number of chewing cycles performed during the recording period. The number of cycles varied interindividually between N = 12 and N = 32. Estimated forces have no error bars, because only one value could be obtained per patient and muscle. Abbreviations: est = estimated chewing force, mass = masseter, temp = temporalis, ws = working side, bs = balancing side.
