A 3D printed electronic wearable device to generate vertical, horizontal and phono-articulatory jaw movement parameters: A concept implementation.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The current research aimed to develop a concept open-source 3D printable, electronic wearable head gear to record jaw movement parameters.

Materials & methods

A 3D printed wearable device was designed and manufactured then fitted with open-source sensors to record vertical, horizontal and phono-articulatory jaw motions. Mean deviation and relative error were measured invitro. The device was implemented on two volunteers for the parameters of maximum anterior protrusion (MAP), maximum lateral excursion (MLE), normal (NMO), and maximum (MMO) mouth opening and fricative phono-articulation. Raw data was normalized using z-score and root mean squared error (RMSE) values were used to evaluate relative differences in readings across the two participants.

Results
