Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study was to evaluate masticatory muscle electrical activity in post-pubertal females with forward head posture (FHP) and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) as well as in post-pubertal females with neutral head posture and with no temporomandibular disorders.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

It has been demonstrated by a previous study that a strong relationship exists between forward head posture and temporomandibular disorders and that individuals with forward head posture and temporomandibular disorders exhibit alterations in masticatory muscle electromyographic activity either as a result of the disorder itself or due to a compensatory mechanism associated with the symptoms of temporomandibular disorders . As a consequence, the aim of the study was to evaluate the electromyographic activity of the masticatory muscles in post-pubertal females with forward head posture and temporomandibular disorders as well as in post-pubertal females with neutral head posture and with no temporomandibular disorders.
