The Aqualizer RehaBite from Jumar Corp is an adjunct training device for home treatment and rehabilitation of muscle pain in the masticatory system. Force-controlled, intraoral coordinative training under reproducible, ideal conditions is achieved with the aid of a hydrostatic system comparable to balancing on a seesaw.
The masticatory muscles can be trained effectively, particularly with coordinative exercises at a submaximal force level, according to the company. The coordinative training leads to changes in the functional patterns of the muscles that are permanent and outlast the training units. This effect is accompanied by desired structural modifications of specific regions of the brain.
The muscular adaptations induced by the training are an essential effect in successful muscle pain treatment. Designed as a therapeutic option of prevention after the acute symptoms have subsided, home exercises can be performed with the RehaBite device to complement physiotherapeutic and/or dental treatment. RehaBite training allows for treatment at any time and place with minimal effort and meets all requirements of modern and economic rehabilitation medicine in TMJ therapy, the company reports.
