Overview
Brief Summary
This study evaluated the correlation between the occurrence of disorders of selected muscles of the cervical spine and the occurrence of symptoms of TMJ dysfunction
Detailed Description
The examination includes personal questionnaire, physical examination and an algometer measurement on the upper fibers of the trapezius, levator scapula, sternocleidomastoid and rectus capitis posterior major to define pressure sensitivity of neck muscles and define is there a correlation between the occurrence of disorders of selected muscles of the cervical spine and the occurrence of symptoms of TMJ dysfunction.
