ABSTRACT
Upper neck impairments are more prevalent in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) but the differences between specific types of TMDs are unclear. This study evaluated the distribution of such impairments among different forms of TMD. In total, 116 participants (86 women and 30 men, age range 21-75 yr) were investigated. Forty-two individuals had no TMDs and were assigned to the control group. The remaining 74 patients were assigned to one of three groups based on the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) findings:
pain-related (n = 37); intra-articular (n = 17); or mixed (combined pain-related and intra-articular) (n = 20). Analyses of impairments included between-group comparisons of key parameters of upper neck performance (active/passive mobility and muscular capabilities) and pain (subjective neck disability and pain sensitivity). Patients in the pain-related and mixed TMD groups were found to have decreased upper neck mobility in the cervical flexion-rotation test compared with patients in intra-articular and control groups, as well as poorer capabilities of the deep neck flexor muscles in the cranio-cervical flexion test compared to the control group. It was concluded that patients with pain-related TMD diagnoses are more likely to experience significant upper-neck hypomobility and poor muscular capabilities than patients with intra-articular diagnoses of TMD.Palabras clave
