and function
Modified syringe hand pump allows user to have hands in a relaxed
natural position away from the mouth during use
User can visually measure progress while using the device providing
immediate feedback and control
Sustained stretch can be achieved without pressing on hand pump
Jaw muscle strengthening, with closure against gentle resistance can be
performed by removing elastics.
Unique system of elastics permits control of jaw muscle toning. The
more elastics that are removed, creates greater resistance to jaw
closure, permitting a controlled progression of toning the muscles of
the jaw.
CONCLUSIONS
 mobilization is essential in the rehabilitation of
patients with TMJ disorders
 E-Z FLEX II promotes patient compliance with
passive motion regimens
 E-Z Flex II is safe, gentle and effective in restoring
TMJ mobility and function
