No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of the present study is to analyze if there is a biomechanical relationship between trunk flexion and buccal opening and to observe if there is an improvement of trunk flexion by performing the "sit and reach" test when stretching the masticatory muscles.

Conditions

  • Hamstring Injury
  • Temporomandibular Joint Disorders
  • Stretch

Interventions

OTHER

Self-stretching of the masticatory musculature

If the subject belonged to the Treatment group, he was instructed to self-stretch the masticatory muscle. This stretch consisted of introducing three knuckles of the non-dominant hand between the incisors for two minutes while sitting.

OTHER

Control group intervention

The control group was asked to introduce only two knuckles in the oral cavity and perform a mandibular occlusion, an intervention that serves as a simulated stretch in said group.
