Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find a decrease in muscle electrical activity, or balance between muscle groups with ipsi and / or contralateral characteristics, verified through surface electromyography and presentation of parameters through the percentage of values in RMS normalized by the Maximum Voluntary Contraction | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In initial research, we observed benefits of using bandages for women with TMD, even without statistical evidence. We are expanding the sample. | — |
