Vibratory stimulus and accelerated tooth movement: A critical appraisal

Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists, 2018
Abstract Importance Mechanical vibration has recently been emphasized in orthodontics as a noninvasive approach of accelerating tooth movement. This review summarizes the knowledge on the ability of mechanical vibration to accelerate tooth movement and critically analyzes the biological effects of mechanical vibration reported by in vivo and in ...

Vibratory stimulus to the masseter muscle impairs the oral fine motor control during biting tasks

Journal of Prosthodontic Research, 2019
To investigated the effect of vibratory stimulus on masseter muscles during oral fine motor biting tasks.Sixteen healthy individuals (age: 24.5 ± 2.4 years) participated in experiment I during which the participants were asked to "hold and split" half a roasted peanut placed on a force transducer with their front teeth.

Pedestrian Guidance and Sensory Fusion Using Peripheral-Vision-Stimulus and Vibratory Stimulus

2013 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, 2013
Recently, we have mobile adaptive information terminal to navigate like to present information during walking (ex. smartphone and glasses-type wearable terminal). On the other hand, attention to the surrounding environment is insufficient and incident is a familiar occurrence.

EFFICACY OF A VIBRATORY STIMULUS FOR THE RELIEF OF HIV-ASSOCIATED NEUROPATHIC PAIN

Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System, 2000
Pain related to HIV disease is frequently debilitating. Of the many pain syndromes that occur in persons with HIV, distal symmetrical polyneuropathy (DSPN) is particularly devastating. Because DSPN often responds, at best, only partially to available pharmacologic interventions, non‐pharmacologic interventions need to be investigated.

Development of apnea interruption system by vibratory stimulus

Proceedings of the IEEE 22nd Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference, 2002
The present study was undertaken to develop an automated sleep apnea control system that would awake an infant experiencing an apneic event. At present, the method of alerting an infant involves stimulation by the nursing staff. In our system, a vibratory stimulator is used that will not endanger the safety of the infant, yet still provide an effective

Effect of fNIRS on Physiological Index and Performance Under Vibratory Stimulus

AHFE International, 2019
Many traffic accidents are caused by human error. In order to help prevent human such error, we investigated brain hemodynamics in both the frontal and the somatosensory areas by functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), electrocardiogram (ECG), and the following two types of task performance with vibratory stimulation: a Tracking task and the ...

The vibratory stimulus as a neurorehabilitation tool for stroke patients: Proof of concept and tolerability test

NeuroRehabilitation, 2012
Introduction: Current scientific knowledge reinforces that successful reorganization of surviving nervous tissue supports cognitive and motor recovery after stroke. The development of new neurorehabilitation tools to modulate this physiologic process is needed.

Effects of a contingent vibratory stimulus delivered by an intra-oral device on sleep bruxism: a pilot study

Sleep and Breathing, 2019
Although sleep bruxism (SB) is one of the most important clinical problems in dental practice, there is no definitive method for controlling it. This pilot study evaluated the effects of contingent vibratory feedback stimuli using an occlusal splint for inhibition of sleep bruxism.Thirteen subjects with clinically diagnosed SB participated after ...

[Skull vibratory test in partial vestibular lesions--influence of the stimulus frequency on the nystagmus direction].

Revue de laryngologie - otologie - rhinologie, 2006
Results of the skull vibratory test (SVT) in partial unilateral vestibular peripheral lesions (PUVL) are different from the results in total vestibular lesions (TUVL).To reveal a correlation between the results of the analysis of the skull vibratory nystagmus (SVN) horizontal component and the side of the lesion; to correlate these results with the ...

Vibrotactile thresholds for detection of sinusoidal vibration as a function of stimulus duration measured in the presence of vibratory background noise

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1991
Thresholds for the detection of sinusoidal vibration were measured for stimuli ranging in duration from 15 to 1000 ms. The test stimuli were 250-Hz bursts of vibration with 10-ms rise-fall times applied through either a 3.0 or 0.01 cm2 contactor to the thenar eminence of the right hand.
