Conditions
Summary
This cross-sectional study will examine the relationship between mandibular dysfunction, cervical joint position sense, craniovertebral angle, neck pain, and temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) severity. TMD severity, mandibular function, cervical proprioception, craniovertebral angle, and neck pain history will be assessed using standardized clinical tools and questionnaires. The study will evaluate the associations between these variables and determine the factors that may predict TMD severity.
