Abstract Introduction. The position and tensions in the temporomandibular joint directly affect the cervical spine by changing the position of the cervical lordosis through a direct connection between the TMJ joint and the C0-C1 segment. According to the theory of tensegrity occurring in the human body, a change in the position in one segment can affect the other areas of the body. Changes in the tension of the structures in the joint can therefore affect the parameters of the equilibrium reactions. In the current literature review, there is little research on the relationship between the temporomandibular joint and balance. Study aim. The aim of the study was to analyze the influence of the temporomandibular joint position on the parameters of cervical spine lordosis depth, body posture and balance reactions in a group of young adults. Methods and materials. A total of 43 people aged 18-26 were examined. The tests were conducted in a static form using the DIERS posture lab system in three settings: TMJ joint in a neutral position, TMJ with maximum jaw tension and opening in maximum possibilities. People with orthodontic appliances and people whose jaw opening range was limited (less than the width of their four fingers) were excluded from the study. Parameters used for analysis: Depth of cervical lordosis [mm], Amount of head protraction [mm], Trunk inclination, Depth and angle of lumbar lordosis, Pelvic inclination, pelvic rotation, and variables defining parameters of equivalent reactions and variables defining parameters of equivalent reactions: Left foot load [%], Right foot load [%], Forefoot load [%], Heel load [%], Maximum left foot pressure [N], Maximum right foot pressure [N], Left foot contact area [cm2], Right foot contact area [cm²], Lateral movement COP (max) [mm], Total lateral movement COP [mm], Total front/back movement COP [mm], COP area. Statistica program was used for statistical analysis. Tests for normality distribution (Shapiro-Wilk), Chi-square test were performed, and correlations were examined with Spearman’s test. Results. Studies conducted on a group of young adults may suggest the influence of the temporomandibular joint position on changes in equivalent changes. The results of descriptive statistics show significant changes in the average results, including around foot load or COP surface. The highest average results were observed in the case of opening the TMJ joint, where deviations in the area of equivalent reaction changes showed the highest average results. The results of both descriptive statistics and correlations did not show significant differences between the joint position and trunk variables. The differences between the was minimal. Conclusions. Changes in the position and tension of the temporomandibular joint affect the position of the cervical spine and balance parameters. For the position with open TMJ positioning, there is a correlation with the variables of the contact area of the right and left foot with the ground. There are no changes in body posture. It cannot be stated that the position of the temporomandibular joint significantly affects the variables of body posture.

Shima A. Mohammad Zadeh, Tamer Shousha – The impact of forward head correction on temporomandibular dysfunction: A narrative review –  Fizjoterapia Polska 2024; 24(3); 232-235

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG020ALN7

Abstract:
Objectives. This study aimed to review research from the past 10 years, focusing on the impact of forward head posture (FHP) correction on temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD). The primary goal was to review articles on FHP correction to alleviate TMD symptoms and to assess whether such interventions are beneficial for managing or preventing TMD manifestations.
Methods. Articles published in the past 10 years, written in English, and investigating the effect of FHP correction on TMD symptoms were included. Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, MedLine, and EBSCO were searched to identify eligible studies.
Results. Six relevant articles evaluated the impact of FHP management on TMD. Findings from studies linking TMD symptoms to FHP treatment yielded varied outcomes, although all studies reported positive effects from different approaches taken in targeting TMD symptoms through FHP.
Conclusion. Only six studies met the criteria for inclusion, and each documented favorable outcomes after integrating FHP correction into TMD rehabilitation sessions. However, five of these studies utilized comprehensive therapeutic approaches rather than concentrating on a singular treatment approach. Conducting meta-analyses to assess the quality of these articles is advisable.

Functional connections between the temporomandibular joint and the hip joint

Kamil Lenczewski, Małgorzata Wójcik

Kamil Lenczewski, Małgorzata Wójcik – Functional connections between the temporomandibular joint and the hip joint –  Fizjoterapia Polska 2024; 24(1); 122-125

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG2EF8R1m

Abstract
Introduction. Some of the factors in the formation of temporomandibular joint disorders are changes in the central and peripheral nervous systems. In the context of creating connections between two joints, fascia and the concept of biotensegration are important. The tension created in the tissue is linearly distributed along the entire body. The creation of excessive tension within one structure can lead to the creation of identical tension in a distant structure.
Aim of the study. The research hypothesis was that soft tissue manual treatments of the temporomandibular joint, with a duration of 7 minutes per side would affect increased mobility in the hip joint for the motion of the abduction.
Results. The obtained value for the right and left hip joint shows a strong and positive correlation. This proves that the therapy performed had an effect on increasing the range of motion.
Conclusions. Myofascial release of the tissues of the temporomandibular joint had a positive effect on the increase in the range of motion for hip abduction.

Zeinab A. Ali, Marwa M. Eid – Effect of Immediate Versus Gradual Exercises Program on Maximum mouth opening Post Temporomandibular Joint Arthroscopy: A randomized controlled trial. Fizjoterapia Polska 2020; 20(2); 52-57

Streszczenie

Objective. The purpose of this study was to compare two physiotherapy programs for rehabilitation of patients after temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthroscopy. Methods: Sixty patients diagnosed with closed lock and treated with arthroscopic lysis and lavage participated in this study, patients were divided into two groups: Group A (immediate program): included thirty patients rehabilitated with immediate full range of motion self-exercises. Group B (gradual program): included thirty patients rehabilitated with progressively increasing range of motion self-exercises. Outcome Measures. Maximum mouth opening (MMO) by measuring distance between the upper and lower incisors while the patient actively opens the mouth were assessed by Ruler, Pain assessment was done by using visual analogue scale. The measurements taken by the end of first month of treatment, analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results. Statistical analysis showed significant improvement in MMO and pain outcomes for the immediate group than for the gradual group. Conclusion. Based on the obtained results this study concluded that, a physiotherapy program consisting of immediate postoperative full range of motion mobilizations achieves better results (in terms of pain and mouth opening) than a physiotherapy program consisting of gradual and controlled increases in range of motion of closed lock of the TMJ after arthroscopic treatment.

S. Tyszkiewicz, M. Tyndorf, K. Dowgierd – Implementation of manual physiotherapeutic activities as an important element of supporting surgical treatment in congenital malformations of the bite and temporomandibular joints – case report. Fizjoterapia Polska 2019; 19(3); 38-45

Abstract
Introduction. Surgical procedures used to treat congenital craniofacial malformations may give rise to complications, resulting in impaired function of the stomatognathic system. Reconstructive correction of subsequent defects may require multi-disciplinary skills, including those of maxillofacial and microsurgery, orthodontics, speech therapy and physiotherapy. The purpose of reconstruction to restore function can be divided into two stages: firstly the establishment of correct anatomical relationships in the facial skeleton and secondly the restoration of function of individual structures of the stomatognathic system, together with the stabilisation of both function and appearance. The latter is fundamentally associated with supportive physiotherapy.
Aim of the study. The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of physiotherapy in the process of restoring motor functions in the stomatognathic system in a patient treated for disorders of the masticatory apparatus.
Material and methods. The article presents an account of supportive physiotherapy utilised in the healing process. The case study presented is that of a patient with congenital ankylosis of the temporomandibular joints. The patient presented in the maxillofacial department for surgical joint treatment and with associated in activity in the musculature of this region. Initial treatment involved bilateral arthroplasty with prosthetic arthroplasy, after which it was possible to proceed to restoration of functional speech. The provision of physiotherapy over a timescale of six months achieved reduction of oedema, development of the expected range of movement, reduction of pain and the achievement of deglutition.
Results. Results were maintained through continuation of therapeutic procedures, since periods of reduced activity are associated with loss of function. In order to increase functional capacity and achieve stability, the patientis to undergo microtransplantation (cable grafts) and orthodontic treatment to achieve full centricocclusion. Speech therapy and physiotherapy will also be continued.
Conclusions: Supportive physiotherapy should be a key element of treatment of patients after maxillofacial procedures, regardless of whether this is due to injury, congenital malformation ororthognathic procedures.

M. Krzyżanowski, R. Hansdorfer-Korzon, E. Rajkowska-Labon – The physiotherapeutic estimation of the act of temporal-mandibular joints among students of Medical University of Gdańsk. FP 2014; 14(4); 14-22

Abstract

Aim of the study. 1. Evaluating the activity of temporomandibular joints manifesting features of dysfunction in students of the Medical University Gdańsk, 2. Quantitative analysis of the disorders occurring in temporomandibular joints. 3. Proving the correlation between the investigated parameters and the analysed dysfunctions in temporomandibular joints
The materials and research method. For the examination, 40 students in the age of 19 to 27 years (21 women and 19 men) were classified, representing the average age of 23 years.  For the needs of this study, a card of patient examination had been constructed. The evaluation covered, among others, such parameters as: the mobility range of the jaw, the Rozencwaig’s dyskinesia index, the movement of the joint head during the jaw abduction, acoustic symptom, pain index, the presence of trigger points, the cervical spine mobility range.  The obtained results were subjected to statistical analysis with the application of Statistica 10 software .
Results. Analysis of the investigated parameters revealed that dysfunctions of mobility range, at least in one direction, occur in 87,5% (n=35) of the examined persons. The Rozencwaig’s dyskinesia index was proven in 37,5% (n=15). Asymmetric movement of the joints heads occurred in 67,5% (n=27) of the examined persons; and the disorders of the jaw guiding track and the presence of the acoustic symptom were revealed in 80% (n=32) out of the total 40 of the examined persons. Among 57,5% (n=23) of the examined, the presence of trigger points was revealed within the masseter and the temporalis muscles, or in one of them. Dysfunction of the temporomandibular joints correlates, among others, with a reduction of the mobility range in the cervical spine, with acoustic symptoms and presence of parafunctions.
Conclusions. A significant percentage of the temporomandibular joints dysfunctions was observed among students. Attention was attracted by the high percentage of people performing parafunctions. Correlations statistically significant for the temporomandibular joints were proven.
