简要总结
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of a manual therapy and exercise program, focused on the rehabilitation of cervical function, on clinical signs and mandibular function in subjects with TMD.
详细描述
Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a general term that refers to disorders associated with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the masticatory muscles. Among the main symptoms are pre-auricular pain (in the region of the TMJ) and/or pain in the masticatory muscles.
It's usual to observe that subjects with TMD also present cervical alteration. Beside this, cervical postural alterations produced by muscle tension can influence mandibular position.
The intervention protocol was based on manual therapy, stabilization exercises and stretching.
The technique are:.
- Upper cervical flexion mobilization;
- C5 central posterior-anterior mobilization;
- Stabilization exercise: Cranio-cervical flexor stabilization exercise
- Stretching of muscles: upper trapezius, scalenes, semispinalis capitis; splenius capitis, sternocleidomastoid
