Normally the jaw can be opened to three knuckles width and it tracks straight up and down. Any deviation or jerking movements indicate some dysfunction in the #TemporomandibularJoints(#TMJs) dynamics. Clicking is also an indication of joint dysfunction. Clicking occurs when the articular disc has become displaced anteriorly due to a spasm of the lateral pterygoid muscle. When opening the jaw, the forward moving condyle bumps over the edge of the displaced disc causing a clicking sound. Basically #TMJsymptoms are the result of muscles spasm due to occlusal problem. The assessment of the #JawGait gives us more information about which myofascial tissues are involved in the dysfunctional movement pattern. 👐 #PhysioCanHelp #PhysioHelpsLives 💆 #physio #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8jZtEyh1Bx/?igshid=195b816e3lt19
