Figure 1. Relationship between peak velocity of stress-field translation and mechanical work in the TMJ. Vp is the peak velocity (mm/s) of stress-field translation. W (mJ) is the mechanical work. The results shown are for all mandibular activities (laterotrusion to the right and to the left, protrusion) in 15 TMJs in 10 subjects (n = 45).
