Figure 3. Examples of model results for biting tasks. (A) Predicted I/C muscle force ratios for molar biting tasks at a range of bite force angles that created moments equivalent to in vivo biting at lateral, center, and medial positions. MJL model predictions for masseter ( ${diamond}$ ) and anterior temporalis ( ${square}$ ) muscles and MME model predictions for masseter ( ${triangleup}$ ) and anterior temporalis (X) muscles are shown for subject f1. Please note the discontinuity of scale in the vertical axis. (B) Predicted normalized muscle forces for incisor biting tasks at a range of bite force angles that created moments equivalent to in vivo biting at posterior, center, and anterior positions. Masseter muscle force predictions from MJL model ( ${diamond}$ subject f1, ${diamondsuit}$ subject m5) and from MME model ( ${triangleup}$ subject f1, ${blacktriangleup}$ subject m5), and anterior temporalis muscle force predictions from MJL model ( ${square}$ subject f1, ${blacksquare}$ subject m5) and from MME model ( ${circ}$ subject f1, • subject m5).
