Forward head posture: its structural and functional influence on the stomatognathic system, a conceptual study

H E Gonzalez, A Manns

    Cranio : the Journal of Craniomandibular Practice
    |January 1, 1996
    PubMed
    Summary

    Forward head posture is a primary factor in craniomandibular dysfunctions and temporomandibular joint issues. This posture significantly impacts craniofacial growth, leading to a pattern of dysfunction.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentofacial Orthopedics
    • Biomechanics
    • Craniomandibular Dysfunction

    Background:

    • Forward head posture (FHP) is increasingly recognized as a significant factor in various musculoskeletal conditions.
    • Craniomandibular dysfunctions (CMD) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal derangements are complex conditions with multifactorial origins.
    • The interplay between cervical posture and craniofacial development is an area of ongoing research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To conduct a conceptual analysis establishing the primary role of forward head posture in craniomandibular dysfunctions and TMJ internal derangements.
    • To explore the association between craniocervical postural disturbances and these dysfunctions.
    • To define the concept of craniocervical postural position and its relation to mandibular postural position.

    Main Methods:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Extensive conceptual analysis integrating findings from scientific investigations in dentofacial orthopedics and dysfunction.
    • Emphasis on the influence of forward head posture on craniofacial growth.
    • Establishment of correlations between specific occlusal classes, head posture, and craniomandibular dysfunction.

    Main Results:

    • Forward head posture plays a primary role in the development of certain craniomandibular dysfunctions and TMJ internal derangements.
    • Forward head posture influences craniofacial growth, potentially establishing a morphoskeletal and neuromuscular pattern conducive to dysfunction.
    • A significant correlation exists between Class II Occlusion, forward head posture, and the presence of craniomandibular dysfunction.
    • Craniocervical postural position is closely related to mandibular postural position.

    Conclusions:

    • Forward head posture is a critical etiological factor in craniomandibular dysfunctions and TMJ internal derangements.
    • Understanding the influence of forward head posture on craniofacial development is crucial for identifying and managing these conditions.
    • The established correlation highlights the importance of addressing postural disturbances in the treatment of craniomandibular disorders.
