Effects of a Sternocleidomastoid Muscle Exercise Protocol on Masticatory Muscles: A Case Study

Acta Scientific Dental Sciences (ISSN: 2581-4893),
Volume 8, Issue 5, 2024

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is fundamental for the postural tonic system, influencing and being influenced by postural alterations. Recent research emphasises the impact of sternocleidomastoid (SCM) stiffness on the range of movement of the cervical spine, especially during head rotation. A healthy adult woman (24 years, 1.65 m and 45 kg) participated in the study. Range of motion (ROM) was measured using the Euleria LabTM system and muscle activation was measured using the mDurance® surface electromyograph (sEMG). After the first measurement (T0), a protocol based on SCM resistance and flexibility exercises was administered. At the end of the procedure, the tests were repeated (T1)...

Postural Control in Static Equilibrium after Different Receptor Stimulations: A Comparison of three Case Studies

Acta Scientific Neurology (ASNE) (ISSN: 2582-1121)
Volume 6, Issue 9, August 2023

Training allows athletes to acquire different balance control skills based on the discipline practiced. In particular, dance,
in the motor field, allows dancers to optimise the coordination skills that can improve balance and postural stability. The present
study compared the postural tonic system control abilities of a semi-professional dancer (SD), a competitive judoka (CJ) and a control
case (CC), under static equilibrium conditions. The subjects, selected according to homogeneity criteria, were subjected to tests in a
bipodal position on a stabilometric platform and evaluated after different stimulations...

A Review of Brodie’s Theory and a Reinterpretation of the Muscular Relationship between the Stomatognathic System and Posture

Acta Scientific Dental Sciences (ISSN: 2581-4893)
Volume 5 Issue 8 August 2021

The anatomical-functional relationship between the cervical spine, mastication and swallowing is of great importance, both in the field of manual therapy and dentistry. In recent years there has been an ever-growing interest in this subject, but it is mainly...
