The effects of a global postural exercise program on temporomandibular disorder

Abstract: -Changes in the suboccipital muscles and the hamstrings may interfere with head posture and the biomechanics of the temporomandibular joint, both of which contribute to the severity of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the effects of a global postural exercise program (GPEP) on pain intensity and mouth-opening range of motion (ROM) in women with TMD. The participants were comprised of 30 women with TMD who were divided into two groups: an experimental group … Show more

“…It is considered the most complex joint in the human body [1]. Its complexity is due to the fact that it is connected, that is, one is dependent on the other, both left and right moves at the same time to perform the opening and closing of the mouth [2], another factor that explains its complexity is that it performs two different types of movements, the rotation and the translation during this process [3].…”
