Summary

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between temporomandibular joint problems, head posture, tongue strength, and endurance with core stabilization.

Conditions

  • Temporomandibular Joint Disorders
  • Core Stability

Interventions

OTHER

TMJ dysfunction

Fonseca's Anamnestic Questionnaire (FAQ) was used for TMJ dysfunction. The diagnostic accuracy of the FAQ was found to be high in identifying pain-related and intra-articular TMDs, and the cut-off point was set as 25 points. A score of 25 and above was accepted as the presence of TMD.

OTHER

Maximum pain-free mouth opening (MMO)

The maximum pain-free mouth opening was recorded using a 15 cm ruler

OTHER

Forward head posture

Forward head posture was evaluated by CVA using a goniometer. CVA was measured in degrees as the angle between the horizontal plane, the seventh cervical vertebra and the ear hole

OTHER

Tongue strength and endurance

Tongue strength and endurance were evaluated with IOPI (Medical LLC, Redmond, WA), which has been clinically validated and reliable

OTHER

Static endurance evaluation of the trunk muscles

The Trunk Flexors Endurance Test and the Biering Sorenson Test were used. These static tests are measurements targeting the local core muscles.

OTHER

Dynamic endurance evaluation of the core muscles

The Sit-ups and the Modified Push-ups Tests were used. These dynamic tests are measurements targeting the global core muscles.
