Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

2.2K
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
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...

Structural Joints: Fibrous Joints

4.1K
Fibrous joints are a type of joint where the bones are connected by fibrous connective tissue. These joints provide stability and minimal to no movement between the articulating bones. There are three types of fibrous joints.
Suture
All the bones of the skull, except for the mandible, are joined to each other by a fibrous joint called a suture. The fibrous connective tissue found at a suture strongly unites the adjacent skull bones and thus helps to protect the brain and form the face. In...

Alterations in Muscle Tone lll

29
Rigidity and myotonia are distinct abnormalities of muscle tone that affect resistance and relaxation during movement. Although both involve altered muscle contraction, they arise from different neurological and muscular mechanisms.CharacteristicsRigidity is characterized by uniform resistance to passive movement across the entire range, independent of speed, affecting flexors and extensors equally. It may appear as lead-pipe rigidity (smooth, constant resistance) or cogwheel rigidity...

Muscles for Facial Expressions01:14

Muscles for Facial Expressions

5.7K
The craniofacial muscles are a collection of approximately 20 thin skeletal muscles situated beneath the skin of the face and scalp. These muscles, primarily responsible for the vast array of human facial expressions, originate from the bones or fibrous structures of the skull and extend outwards to connect with the skin. While most skeletal muscles in the body are enveloped in thick fascia, facial muscles generally have a more delicate fascial covering, with the buccinator muscle being a...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Moebius syndrome patients exhibit reduced temporomandibular joint (TMJ) movement, particularly in mouth opening. Early rehabilitation is crucial to prevent TMJ dysfunction in individuals with this rare neurological condition.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Orthodontics
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Moebius syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by bilateral facial and abducens nerve paralysis.
  • Long-term facial muscle hypoactivity is a consequence of Moebius syndrome, potentially impacting craniofacial development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the long-term effects of facial muscle hypoactivity on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) movement development in Moebius syndrome patients.
  • To compare TMJ movement in Moebius syndrome patients with healthy individuals.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of Moebius syndrome patients, classified according to Terzis (2003) as Type A and Type B, were assessed for mandibular range of motion.
  • Mandibular movements of Moebius syndrome patients were compared to those of a control group of healthy subjects.

Main Results:

  • Moebius syndrome patients (both Type A and Type B) demonstrated significantly reduced TMJ movement, especially during mouth opening.
  • A statistically significant difference in TMJ movement was observed between Moebius syndrome patients and the healthy control group.
  • No significant difference in TMJ movement was found between the Type A and Type B Moebius syndrome sub-samples.

Conclusions:

  • The study highlights a severe limitation in TMJ movement range in Moebius syndrome patients.
  • Early and appropriate rehabilitation interventions are essential for Moebius syndrome patients to mitigate TMJ movement limitations.
