Summary
We studied many postural tests with an electromyographical methodology on a group of young men who had a right molar precontact. We compared the results of these tests before and after changing the right plantar arch by placing some plastic on the medial right margin of the homolateral plantar arch (talipes valgus) or on the whole plantar arch (flat foot). We demonstrated the dependence of the occlusal plane on the morphological variations of the plantar arch.
Résumé
Les auteurs ont réalisé une étude électromyographique sur une population de sujets jeunes, de sexe masculin, qui avaient une sur-occlusion des molaires droites. Les tests ont été réalisés avant et après modification de l'arche plantaire droite au moyen de semelles en plastique mises en place sous le bord latéral de la plante (talus valgus) ou sous la totalité de l'arche plantaire (pied plat). II existe une relation entre le plan d'occlusion mandibulaire et les modifications morphologiques de l'arche plantaire.
