Graded changes in body position produced no noticeable changes in wax registrations of dental contact patterns resulting from voluntary jaw closure. Occlusal contact patterns that resulted from electrically stimulated jaw closures indicated an increase in closing force and a mesial shift of prime occlusal contact points as the body was raised to an upright position.
