Evaluation of the Posture of Individuals with Temporomandibular Dysfunction

The possible functional or pathophysiological relationships involving the functional pathologies of the temporomandibular system and body posture are not a mere detail. Certainly, if the temporomandibular and postural systems of the body are in some way related, then the proposed therapy should be directed at both simultaneously, when pathological orthopedic processes involving one or the other region occur. However, otherwise, since both systems are independent or even not significantly dependent, therapy can be focused independently, according to the symptoms presented by the individual. This book is the result of intensive research into the analysis of global body posture in individuals with internal TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders.
