Detailed Description

The examination includes personal questionnaire, physical examination and an algometer measurement on the upper fibers of the trapezius, levator scapula, sternocleidomastoid and rectus capitis posterior major to define pressure sensitivity of neck muscles and define is there a correlation between the occurrence of disorders of selected muscles of the cervical spine and the occurrence of symptoms of TMJ dysfunction.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Study group
People with temporomandibular disorder which was determined based on one of the following factors observed during the examination: acoustic symptoms, present temporomandibular joint pain, problems with opening the mouth, deviation of the jaw during abduction, or reported locking of the jaw.
Device: Algometer
The algometer head was applied to the trigger point of selected muscles at an angle of 90° and, increasing the pressure at a speed of about 100g/s, three measurements were made. Each measurement stoped at the first sensation of pain
Control group
People without temporomandibular disorder.
Device: Algometer
The algometer head was applied to the trigger point of selected muscles at an angle of 90° and, increasing the pressure at a speed of about 100g/s, three measurements were made. Each measurement stoped at the first sensation of pain
