“…Therefore, the hypothesis that the craniocervical postural changes may influence in the highest frequency of the signs and symptoms of CCD in subjects with TMD was rejected. Additionally, considering the direct biomechanical relation of the muscles and cervical spine in the maintenance of head balance, it seems that the postural changes are more related to the occurrence of CCD, as previously demonstrated by other studies (11,23) .…”

PURPOSE: To study the frequency of cervical spine dysfunction (CCD) signs and symptoms in subjects with and without temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and to assess the craniocervical posture influence on TMD and CCD coexistence. METHODS: Participants were 71 women (19 to 35 years), assessed about TMD presence; 34 constituted the TMD group (G1) and 37 comprised the group without TMD (G2). The CCD was evaluated through the Craniocervical Dysfunction Index and the Cervical Mobility Index. Subjects were also questioned about cervical pain. Craniocervical posture was assessed by cephalometric analysis. RESULTS: There was no difference in the craniocervical posture between groups. G2 presented more mild CCD frequency and less moderate and severe CCD frequency (p=0.01). G1 presented higher percentage of pain during movements (p=0.03) and pain during cervical muscles palpation (p=0.01) compared to G2. Most of the TMD patients (88.24%) related cervical pain with significant difference when compared to G2 (p=0.00). CONCLUSION: Craniocervical posture assessment showed no difference between groups, suggesting that postural alterations could be more related to the CCD. Presence of TMD resulted in higher frequency of cervical pain symptom. Thus the coexistence of CCD and TMD signs and symptoms appear to be more related to the common innervations of the trigeminocervical complex and hyperalgesia of the TMD patients than to craniocervical posture deviations.

“…The shooting occurred in the randomized side in DT group and the most affected side in CP group. For kinematic evaluation black spherical markers made on a white circular base were stuck with double-sided tape: glabella (midline of the face and 1 cm above the nose), canthus of the eye, tragus (cartilage above the ear), the tip of the chin, spinous process of C7 13 . To calculate the real coordinates, a system of two-dimensional calibration 1.0 x 1.0 was placed in the plane of the filming.…”

Objetivo: analisar a atividade elétrica dos músculos Temporal e Masseter e o padrão de postura e movimento de cabeça e mandíbula de crianças com Paralisia Cerebral (PC).Métodos: a amostra deste estudo compreendeu 32 voluntários com PC espástica e com Desenvolvimento Típico, com a faixa etária de 7 a 13 anos de idade, caracterizados com base na Classificação de Angle e Critério de Diagnóstico para Pesquisa das Disfunções Temporomandibulares (RDC/TMD). De forma simultânea, foram avaliadas a postura e movimentação da cabeça e mandíbula e a atividade elétrica dos músculos Temporal e Masseter por meio da cinemática e eletromiografia.Resultados: a PC não foi associada a presença de DTM ou com a alteração da oclusão dentária. No grupo PC, foi observada maior assimetria do músculo temporal (p<0.05), maior extensão da cabeça na máxima abertura da boca (p<0.05), maior amplitude de extensão da cabeça (p<0.01) e maior amplitude de projeção anterior da cabeça (p<0.05).Conclusão: a maior assimetria na atividade muscular, a maior extensão e projeção anterior da cabeça durante o ciclo mastigatório podem ser causas das desordens da função motora oral das crianças com PC.
