Use of artificial vision to study masticatory kinematics: a preliminary study
National audience; The relationship between foods structural properties and masticatory behaviour has been extensively characterised in literature. Electromyographic and jaw movements recordings are the most common methods used to study mastication. These methods are quite expensive, required preparation of the subjects and constraint the study within a laboratory set-up. Moreover, they are barely applicable for characterising specific population such as children or cognitively impaired subjects because of the non compliance to the protocol. Because of these difficulties, chewing behaviour in these populations has mostly been characterised using video (1,2,3). Video observations were found …
