The rhythm dependency and reproducibility of the jaw motion error for open-close-clench movements in man have been investigated. The results indicate that the error strongly depends upon the rhythm of movements. Sometimes there is a significant difference (p < 0.05) between corresponding series of jaw motion errors indicating a lack of reproducibility of the error at a repeat test.
