guide to the report data reading
In this tab are represented the ulterior calculated indices, reporting for an
easier reading also the values of the coefficients already seen in the previous
tab.
The referring indices are TA%, MM%, SCM%, ATTIV, TORQUE,
POCm, ASIM, CL and IMP.
• TA%, MM%, SCM%
These indexes represent in percentage the standardized average value of
the activity respectively of the anterior temporal muscles, masseters and
sternocleidomastoids left and right.
The graphical representation includes a 3D model, for a male or female,
according to the patient for whom the report relates.
The status bars represent the level of electrical intensity, measured in the
muscle near which are represented.
Depending on the protocol used (4 or 6 channels), 4 or 6 bars are
displayed corresponding to the anterior temporal muscles, masseters and
sternocleidomastoids.
The muscle that expresses the greater amplitude value of the electric
potential, percentualized, is represented with a full bar and becomes the
reference scale for the bars graphical representation of the other muscles,
which will be compared to.
In the example shown in the figure the right TA% is 83.57% and is
the highest value of the 4. Then the bar will be represented “full” and
the others will be represented in proportion according to the calculated
