Tooth tapping frequency was measured in young (21〜29 years) and elderly (61〜67 years) subjects. They were asked to continue the maximal frequent tapping during 1 mitt., and their mandibular movement were measured with a Mandibular Kinesiograph. The results are as follows : 1. Each phase of closing, occluding, opening and cycle was prolonged at the terminal of the 1 min. tapping. That is, tapping frequency decreased. Young subjects had 4.6 Hz tapping frequency and 2.7 Hz for elderly subjects. 2. Although the opening phase per cycle and the closing were not changed in spite of the tapping continuity, the occluding one increased at the terminal of the 1 min. tapping. 3. No difference existed between the young subjects and elderly in the maximal velocity of the mandibular movement at the opening and closing. Opening velocity was larger than closing velocity at the youuag subjects.
