The Relationship Between The Stomatognathic System, Spine Posture And Pelvic Symmetry

Investigation of The Relationship Between The Stomatognathic System, Spine Posture and Pelvic Symmetry in Adolescence Individuals

This study was planned to examine the relationship between the stomatognathic system, spine posture and pelvis symmetry. 91 healthy adolescence were included in the study. For stomatognathic system, temporomandibular range of motion with millimeter ruler, cervical joint range of motion and craniovertebral angle measurement with goniometer, tragus-wall distance measurement with tape measure, kyphosis and lordosis angle measurement with Baseline Bubble Inclinometer®, trunk rotation angle scoliometer for scoliosis, lower extremity length measurements for pelvis symmetry were made using a tape measure.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis angle assessment	Thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis angle assessment was performed with the reliable Baseline Bubble Inclinometer®.	12 Weeks
Temporomandibular range of motion	TMJ range of motion, maximum mouth opening amount (MAAM), right and left lateral movements of the mandible (laterotrusion), anterior movement of the mandible (protrusion), and backward movement of the mandible (retrusion) were measured with a millimetric ruler, while the adolescent was seated on a chair and recorded in mm.	12 Weeks
Measuring the cervical joint range of motion	Cervical joint flexion, extension, lateral flexion and rotation ranges of motion were measured with a universal goniometer while the adolescent was sitting in a chair.	12 Weeks
Craniovertebral angle measurement	Head posture of the adolescent was evaluated by craniovertebral angle (CVA) method. Adolescents sat on a chair with back support in an upright position and turned sideways to the worker. The pivot point was accepted as the seventh cervical vertebra, and the angle between the head (tragus) and the horizontal plane was measured with a goniometer and recorded in degrees.	12 Weeks
Tragus-to-wall distance measurement	Tragus-to-wall distance was measured using a tape measure and recorded in cm.	12 Weeks
Scoliosis angle assessment	Scoliosis angle assessment was done with a scoliometer.	12 Weeks
