Abstract

Objective: To investigate several postural parameters and upper cervical functions in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD).

Methods: Patients diagnosed with different subtypes of TMD and healthy individuals without complaints of TMD were evaluated for pain, functional limitation, and anxiety by validated instruments. For evaluating upper cervical functions and postural parameters, cervical joint range of motion, cervical performance test, tragus wall distance, hamstring flexibility measurement, and measurement of the sacrum angle were recorded.

Results: Pain and jaw functional limitation scores were statistically higher in all groups with TMD. Patients with internal derangement and myofascial pain were significantly linked to a severe limiting of functions, higher anxiety, and depression scores. Postural parameters and cervical functions were similar between groups.

Conclusion: Although postural parameters and cervical functions remained unaffected, parameters such as pain, anxiety, and functional limitation that may affect the quality of life were related to unfavorable values in the TMD groups.

期刊介绍： CRANIO: The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice is the oldest and largest journal in the world devoted to temporomandibular disorders, and now also includes articles on all aspects of sleep medicine. The Journal is multidisciplinary in its scope, with editorial board members from all areas of medicine and dentistry, including general dentists, oral surgeons, orthopaedists, radiologists, chiropractors, professors and behavioural scientists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, osteopathic and ear, nose and throat physicians. CRANIO publishes commendable works from outstanding researchers and clinicians in their respective fields. The multidisciplinary format allows individuals practicing with a TMD emphasis to stay abreast of related disciplines, as each issue presents multiple topics from overlapping areas of interest. CRANIO''s current readership (thousands) is comprised primarily of dentists; however, many physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic physicians and other related specialists subscribe and contribute to the Journal.
