Effect of Condylar Remodeling Exercises on Proprioception of Neck and Temporomandibular Joint in Cranio-cervico-mandibular Malalignment: A Randomized, Double-blind, Controlled Trial

Cranio-cervico-mandibular (CCM) malalignment is associated with forward head posture (FHP) and tempromandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and affects masticatory muscles. Patients who present with dysfunctions of CCM malalignment can be treated effectively by a physical therapist who has specialized skills and experiences. A temporomandibular joint exercise developed by Rocabado called "Condylar remodeling exercises" considered as a new method for treatment of such cases. Those exercises stimulate mechanoreceptors that converts mechanical energy of physical deformation into action nerve potential yielding proprioceptive information, detecting change and rate of change, as opposed to steady state conditions. This input was analyzed in the central nervous system for joint position and movement influences muscle tone, motor execution programes and kinesthetic awareness around temporomandibular joint protecting joint from damage and helps to restore appropriate balance of synergistic and antagonistic forces. Although condylar remodeling exercises has been used in clinical practice, limited evidence exists to support such a treatment approach. So, the current study will conduct to investigate the effect of Condylar Remodeling Exercises on proprioception of neck and TMJ in CCM malalignment

Detailní popis

To determine if there is an effect for the effect of Condylar Remodeling Exercises on proprioception of neck and TMJ in CCM malalignment. 40 of both sexes will participate in this study. Assessment of all participants will be carried out before and after the treatment program. Outcome measures will include assessment of neck proprioception, Temporomandibular joint position sense, cranio-vertebral angle, active pain-free mouth opening, pain assessment.A total of 40 subjects of both sexes having CCM malalignment will be recruited in this study. They will be randomly assigned to one of the following groups: Study group include 20 subjects will receive Condylar remodeling exercises in addition to postural correction Exercise, Control group: include 20 subjects will receive postural correction Exercise only. All subjects in both groups will receive the exercise program 3 days a week for four weeks.

Jiný: Postural correction exercises Kendall exercises

Kendall exercises were performed as follows:

  1. Strengthening the deep cervical flexors: The patient was asked to do a flat-back, chin-down position and hold this position for 2-8 seconds
  2. Stretching the cervical extensors: The patient was asked to place one hand on the occipital area and other on the chin in a seated position, then a head-down, flexed neck position to stretch the cervical extensors.
  3. Strengthening shoulder retractors: This exercise was done in order to move the shoulder blades towards one another while standing, the patient was instructed to wrap red (medium) Theraband around a stable item and then draw the band back as far as they could with both hands.
  4. Stretching of the pectoralis major muscle: The therapist stood behind the patient and held both elbows and performed bilateral pectoralis stretching. To stretch the costal division, the arm should be elevated to approximately 135 degrees. For sternal division, the arm abducted to 90 degrees. For clavicula

Temporomandibular joint position sense (TMJPS)
Časové okno: 24 hours from first and last session
For the TMJPS measurement, a 6 mm-thick wooden reference stick and 9 wooden test sticks from 4 mm to 8 mmin thickness (increment 0.5 mm) will be used. First, the participants will be asked to sense the position by biting the 6 mm thick reference test stick with their front teeth for 1 minute. Then, they will be asked to randomly bite each of the 9 test sticks and compare each of them with the 6 mm reference test stick. Each of the test sticks will be administered in a random order 5 times (45 tests in total). The participants will be asked how thick they felt compared to the reference stick that they have bitten down on and indicated their answers as "thinner", "thicker" or "equal". During the test, the participant's eyes will be closed, and the answers give about the stick thicknesses will be recorded as true (1 point) or false (0 points).
24 hours from first and last session
Active pain-free mouth opening
Časové okno: 24 hours from first and last session
In a supine position, participants will be asked to 'open the mouth as wide as possible without causing pain'. At the end position of pain-free mouth opening, the distance between upper-lower central incisors was measured in millimeters. The mean of three trials was calculated and used for the main analysis. Active pain-free mouth opening will be assessed pre-intervention, 48 h after the last treatment (post-intervention) and at 12-week follow up period.
