The sensor for mandibular movement measurement is a distance sensor
which permits observation of mandibular movements. The signal given by
this sensor is known as Jawac, short for «Jaw Activity».
The monitoring of mandibular movements during sleep not only allows to
identify the different sleep disturbances such as mouth breathing, snoring,
apneas (central, obstructive, and mixed) and hypopneas, but also to detect
conditions of upper airway resistance (UARS).
