Abstract :
A small, economical, and accurate system for measuring the silent period duration as well as the latency has been designed. In nine normal subjects electromyographic silent periods in the masseter muscle were measured both manually and by the system. With the comparison of those data, it is concluded that this measuring system is suitable for clinical use.
