  • Title: [Neuromuscular assessment and postural examination in patients with TMJ condylo-meniscal incoordination].
    Author: Cascone P, Di Paolo C, Rampello A, Colonnelli P, Pennacchini N, Pennacchini R, Miraglia D.
    Journal: Minerva Stomatol; 1992 Mar; 41(3):79-90. PubMed ID: 1508125.
    Abstract:
    The neuromuscular system plays a primary role in the development of a myofascial syndrome of the temporomandibular joint. Patients suffering from this disease very often show changes in muscular functions. In biomechanical clinical pictures of temporomandibular myofascial syndrome the motor apparatus is involved only in the second stage. In order to determine the efficiency of the motor apparatus and to schedule a physiotherapeutic treatment program to improve condylar-meniscus coordination of the joint, an analysis of muscular function associated with postural examination has been performed, and this with a view to evidence possible skeletal changes, with particular regard to the spine. The study has been carried out in a group of healthy individuals in front of an other group of patients affected by the pathology mentioned.
