Abstract：
Background and Objectives: The aim of this study were to compare the cervical ROM data obtained from accelerometer exams between patients suffering from TMDs (study group) and healthy patients (control group). Material and Methods: A sample of 43 young adult subjects (23 control subjects and 20 TMD patients) were included in this study and analyzed with the accelerometer (Baiobit™, BTS, Garbagnate Milanese, Milan, Italy) to assess cervical ROM using a standardized protocol, including the following occlusal conditions: mandibular rest position, clenching, clenching with cotton rolls, maximal intercuspation, and mandibular position with cotton rolls. The cervical ROM was measured in degrees and expressed as the mean and standard deviation. Results: TMD patients showed a reduced cervical extension compared to control subjects in all the conditions, with statistically significant relevance. Regarding the other movements, the differences were not statistically or clinically significant. Conclusions: Based on the results of the present study, it can be observed that temporomandibular disorders are associated with a decreased cervical extension range, while the remaining components of ROM do not seem to be significantly associated. The use of accelerometers in ROM analysis could be helpful in improving interdisciplinary communication between dentists and physiotherapists.
摘要：
背景和目的：本研究的目的是比较患有TMD的患者（研究组）和健康患者（对照组）从加速度计检查获得的宫颈ROM数据。材料和方法：本研究包括43名年轻成人受试者（23名对照受试者和20名TMD患者）的样本，并使用加速度计（Baiobit™，BTS,Garbagnate米兰人，米兰,意大利）使用标准化方案评估宫颈ROM，包括以下咬合条件：下颌静止位置，紧握,紧握棉卷，最大切口,用棉卷和下颌位置。宫颈ROM以度测量并表示为平均值和标准偏差。结果：在所有情况下，与对照组相比，TMD患者的宫颈伸展度降低，具有统计学上显著的相关性。关于其他运动，差异无统计学意义或临床意义.结论：根据本研究的结果，可以观察到颞下颌关节紊乱与颈椎伸展范围的减少有关，而ROM的其余组件似乎没有显着关联。在ROM分析中使用加速度计可能有助于改善牙医和物理治疗师之间的跨学科交流。
