Table 2.

Summary of masticatory gape cycle definitions. This table's aim was not to completely catalog all proposed masticatory/chew cycle phases, but to provide an overview of the most commonly used phases in the literature, with a focus on definitions for hemimandibular systems. See Ross & Iriarte-Diaz [51] for a more complete overview. VK phases, vertical kinematic phases; defined by peaks in the second derivative (i.e. change in speed) of pitch. Asterisk, definitions associated with VK phases.
