Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD, TMJD) is an umbrella term covering pain and dysfunction of the muscles of mastication (the muscles that move the jaw) and the temporomandibular joints (the joints which connect the mandible to the skull). The most important feature is pain, followed by restricted mandibular movement, [ 2 ] and noises ...
Muscles of mastication. Mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve. The four classical muscles of mastication elevate the mandible (closing the jaw) and move it forward/backward and laterally, facilitating biting and chewing. Other muscles are responsible for opening the jaw, namely the geniohyoid, mylohyoid, and digastric muscles (the lateral ...
Trismus is a condition of restricted opening of the mouth. [1][2] The term was initially used in the setting of tetanus. [2] Trismus may be caused by spasm of the muscles of mastication or a variety of other causes. [3] Temporary trismus occurs much more frequently than permanent trismus. [4] It is known to interfere with eating, speaking, and ...
The muscles of mastication (the temporalis muscle, masseter muscle, medial pterygoid muscle and lateral pterygoid muscle) are paired on either side and work together to move the mandible, which hinges and slides around its dual articulation with the skull at the temporomandibular joints. Some of the muscles work to elevate the mandible (close ...
Cracking finger joints makes a distinct cracking or popping sound. Joint cracking is the manipulation of joints to produce a sound and related "popping" sensation. It is sometimes performed by physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopaths [1] pursuing a variety of outcomes. The cracking of joints, especially knuckles, was long believed to lead ...
The muscles of the hand are the skeletal muscles responsible for the movement of the hand and fingers. The muscles of the hand can be subdivided into two groups: the extrinsic and intrinsic muscle groups. The extrinsic muscle groups are the long flexors and extensors. They are called extrinsic because the muscle belly is located on the forearm.
The jaw jerk reflex or the masseter reflex is a stretch reflex used to test the status of a patient's trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) and to help distinguish an upper cervical cord compression from lesions that are above the foramen magnum. [1][2] The mandible —or lower jaw—is tapped at a downward angle just below the lips at the chin ...
