Exoskeletons for the rehabilitation of temporomandibular disorders: a comprehensive review

Frontiers in Robotics and AI

This comprehensive review examines the potential of exoskeletons for treating temporomandibular disorders, highlighting how they could provide controlled and individualized exercise regimens to improve jaw mobility while identifying requirements, scientific challenges, and research gaps that need addressing for further development in this underexplored application area.

The Foundation for Developing an Exoskeleton for the Rehabilitation of Temporomandibular Disorders

2025 IEEE International Conference on Simulation, Modeling, and Programming for Autonomous Robots (SIMPAR)

This research presents an open-source jaw model framework with three complexity variants to support jaw exoskeleton development for temporomandibular disorder rehabilitation, demonstrating successful reproduction of jaw movements and establishing a foundation for future patient-specific modeling and exoskeleton design.

CANFnet: High-Resolution Pixelwise Contact Area and Normal Force Estimation for Visuotactile Sensors Using Neural Networks
