[Use of electronic axiography for diagnostics of muscle-joint dysfunction in patients with occlusion pathology]
Abstract:
Axiography [graphic registration of movement of a hinged (axis) condyles temporomandibular joint (ТМJ)] is an objective method of research of trajectory of the articulate movement that allows to estimate character of movements in norm and in functional disturbances of TMJ. Electronic axiographic study allowed to analyze such parametres as: quality indicators, quantity indicators (range), symmetry, synchronism of rate of movement (between left and right TMJ). The occlusion-articulation disturbances caused by a pathology of an occlusion and discoordination masseters lead chronically proceeding discoordination movements of the disk and the mandible head, as causes development of functional disturbances of TMJ.

Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...
