Introduction: Electromyography (EMG) has been used to assess alterations in the masticatory system caused by temporomandybular disorders (TMD).
Objectives: The aim of this study was to verify the test-retest reliability of a protocol for recording the EMG signal from masseter muscle in TMD patients.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study comprising 20 individuals with TMD. Tests were performed in two sessions 7 days apart. The EMG signal was evaluated by the variables integral (iEMG) and the root mean square of the signal (RMS).
Results: In the intraday analysis the reliability for the RMS (ICC2,k: 0.85 to 0.96) and iEMG (ICC2,k: 0.85 to 0.95) was excellent, while the test/retest reliability was poor for both RMS (ICC2,1: 0.03 to 0.29) and iEMG (ICC2,1: 0.08 to 0.39) variables.
Conclusions: The protocol for collecting the EMG signal from the masseter muscle in an individual with TMD demonstrated that the data are reproducible only in the same recording session, whereas for c recording on alternate days, the reliability was poor.
