area under the curve of the electrical activity of muscles examined in the
time.
The normal range of the index are in the range 100% ± 15%.
Higher values indicated that the subject should be considered a
strong clencher.
Values lower than normal may express a condition of
proprioceptive inhibition acute with presence of pain during
MVC, or chronic with presence of a nociceptive protective
reflex.
If the POC, TORS and BAR indexes are normal the IMP index
is related to the vertical dimension.
In this case there are indications on the possibility of raising
(index higher than normal) or reducing (index lower than
normal) the vertical dimension, compatibly with the aesthetic
condition of the patient.
