Summary

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD) is an important health problem that occurs approximately in 22 to 35 percent of adults, different physiotherapy methods are reported as treatment options for management of TMJD. Although that, there is no previous studies about the efficacy of PNF exercises in treatment of TMJD in patients with forward head posture. So, the purpose of the present double-blind, randomized, controlled trial is to investigate the efficacy of PNF exercises in treatment of TMJD in patients with forward head posture.

Conditions

  • Temporomandibular Joint Disorders

Interventions

OTHER

proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercises

PNF exercises will be done for Masseter, Temporalis, Lateral pterygoid and medial pterygoid muscles. Each contraction will be held for 10 seconds, and each stretch (relaxation phase) will be allowed to continue as long as the muscle tension continued to give away.

OTHER

traditional physical therapy treatment

* Ultrasound: Continuous ultrasound at 1MHZ to temporomandibular joint at 1.0-1.25 W/CM2 for 5 min over each affected TMJ and masseter area, with the mouth in a slightly open position. * Forward head posture correction exercises including: chin tuck exercise, Strengthening shoulder retractors, stretching of sternocleidomastoid muscle, and Stretching of pectoralis muscle.
