Figures & data
Table I. Patient characteristics (n = 66).
Table II. Frequency of training from study start until 6 and12 months after completed radiotherapy (RT) and percent mean change in maximum interincisal opening (MIO) from baseline to 12 months after completed RT (n = 66).
Figure 2. Mean change in MIO (%) from baseline, during RT and up to 12 months after completed RT. The lower number of patients weeks 6 and 7 is due to dose differences resulting in shorter time-period in external beam radiotherapy (see for details).

Figure 3. Mean change in MIO (%) from baseline, during RT and up to 12 months after completed RT. Patients with MIO decrease > 15%, who were offered training, is shown as a separate group. The lower number of patients weeks 6 and 7 is due to dose differences resulting in shorter time-period in external beam radiotherapy (see for details).
