AbstractThe human masseter is a multilayered, complex muscle contributing to jaw motion. Because variations in stretch may cause muscle fibers to function over different portions of their length-tension curves, the aim of this study was to determine how parts of the masseter lengthen or shorten during voluntary jaw movements made by living subjects. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and optically-based jaw-tracking were used to measure muscle-insertion positions for four parts of the muscle with six degrees of freedom (DOF), before and after maximum-opening, jaw protrusion and laterotrusion in four adult males. Muscle part lengths and intramuscular tendon lengths were calculated, and these data, with fiber-tendon ratios published previously, were used to estimate putative changes in fiber-length. During maximum jaw-opening, the largest increases in muscle length (34-83%) occurred in the medial part of the deep masseter, whereas the smallest changes occurred in the posterior-most, superficial masseter (2-19%). Smaller changes were found during movement to the ipsilateral side, than during protrusion and movement to the contralateral side. On maximum opening, putative fibers in the deep masseter lengthened up to 83%, whereas those of the superficial masseter stretched up to 72%. The masseter muscle does not stretch uniformly for major jaw movement. Jaw motion to the ipsilateral side causes little length change in any part, and the effect of tendon-stretch on estimated fiber lengths is not substantial. The stretch that occurs infers there are task-related changes in the active and passive tensions produced by different muscle regions. © 2001 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
