Interventions

DEVICE

gymnastics plus silicon dental bite pad

Gymnastics (see below) plus dental bite pads. The dental bite pads TJ Motion (BELY Balance GmbH \& Co. KG, Weisendorf, Germany) are made of medical silicone. Accordingly, they are BPA- and latex-free, odourless, tasteless and dimensionally stable. The splints are placed on the back molars of the lower jaw and remain in this position in the mouth for 3 minutes during the exercise. After use, the splints are rinsed with water and placed dry in the corresponding storage box.

OTHER

gymnastics only

Gymnastics, which are completed daily (7x/week), each consist of three to six exercises and have a total duration of three minutes. The gymnastic programme contain low-intensity exercises from functional gymnastic or physiotherapy.
