TMDS and Whole Body Balance

In the literature we often see studies that correlated TMD’s and cervical –neck problems or relationships. There are very little studies that show whole body balance has a significant effect on TMJ.

The issue of relationship between TMDS and body posture, and biomechanics are still an unsearched area. Many researchers agree that adaptive changes occur at all levels of the body. And jet, there are scarce studies out there to show the realistic evaluation and correlation whole body and TMJ.

A study from Germany, published in 2009, used a small group of subjects, had compared healthy subjects to patients with CRPS, and pointed out that TMJD played an important role in the restriction of hip motion by patients CRPS

    Psychology Lab Research Question: Why do older adults show a decrease on postural control? Hypothesis: Older adults with decreased knee or ankle threshold joint position sensation would show decreased postural control. • Threshold joint position is a test of sensory sensitivity used to quantify each subject’s proprioceptive abilities Methods: • 22 women and men, 70 yoa or older • all subjects had threshold joint position testing at ankle (plantar and dorsiflexion) and knee joints (flexion and extension) - Subjects were told to press a stop button the moment they detected movement in the joint - performance was measured in degree of joint rotation that occurred prior to their sensing movement - This data was used to categorize subjects…

    Phantom Limb Pain

    Most amputees report a sequela where they perceive painful sensations in the missing part of the amputated limbs1. This condition is known as phantom limb pain (PLP). While various hypotheses have been proposed to explain the etiology of PLP, it remains unclear1. In this essay, I will present the debate between two contrasting theories on the possible causes of PLP. One argues that PLP arises as a top-down phenomenon because of maladaptive cortical plasticity2, and conversely, the other indicates that PLP results from a bottom-up process through exaggerated input from damaged peripheral neurons3.…

    While we did not have enough participants in the pilot study to perform any inferential statistics, we feel the knowledge and experience gained is important for informing the full study. Therefore, we have revised the protocol. Below is the proposed plan for the full study. Objectives The overall objective of the full study is to determine if ALL survivors are at increased risk for postural control deficits compared to healthy age-matched individuals. The specific aims and hypotheses for this project are: Aim 1: Compare postural control in ALL survivors to healthy age-matched individuals.…

    If any limitation or any increase in ROM occurs, use a goniometer to measure the angles precisely. First, extend the joint to neutral or 0 degrees. Center the 0 point of the goniometer on the 0 line, and use the movable arm to measure; then flex the joint and measure through the goniometer to determine the angle of greatest flexion (Jarvis, 2014). Joint motion normally causes no tenderness, pain, or crepitation. Do not confuse crepitation with the normal discrete “crack” heard as a tendon or ligament slips over bone during motion, such as when you do a knee bend (Jarvis,…

    There are six fundamental movements or primary movements which occur where the joints are located between the body segments. These movements are flexion (frontal plane, and shoulder) extension, abduction, adduction, rotation, and circumduction. As explained in our text, flexion is a decrease in the angle between two body segments, whereas extension is an increase in the angle between two body segments. Abduction is a movement away from the body, whereas adduction is a movement toward the midline of the body.…

    Neck pain is a very common problem in the United States, affecting 30-50% of adults every year. The chronic disability caused by neck pain is substantial, ranking second only to low back pain. Neck pain is a very costly disability, costing $85.9 billion in 2005, nearly 9% of the total health care expenditure. This high cost in neck pain may be caused by patients receiving ineffective treatments, causing increased disability. To combat this disability, Joint Mobilization (JM) and exercise has been shown to be more effective than exercise or JM alone.…

    The simplification of the musculoskeletal and neurological assessments is helpful. Some of the aspects of musculoskeletal and neurological assessments can be performed during the general survey. Some of the observations are posture, body movements, cognitive function of the patients on how they communicate and respond, and behaviors (Jarvis, 2016). During my neurological assessment using Shadow Health, I should have started with the mental or psych assessment before asking Tina Jones interview questions.…
