Abstract
Objective: Aim: To determine the differences between the foot contact area and the distribution of plantar pressure between patients with different subtypes of temporomandibular disorders and asymptomatic individuals.
Patients and methods: Materials and methods: A total of 48 patients with temporomandibular disorders (17 with disc disorders subtype; 14 with myofascial subtype; 17 with mixed diagnosis) and 33 asymptomatic subjects (control group) diagnosed by Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders were perform posturography examination using FreeMED MAXI ground reaction force platform (Sensor Medica; Guidonia Montecelio, Roma, Italia) under different mandibular conditions (rest position, clenching, clenching on cotton rolls). The following parameters were used for statistical analysis: percentage distribution of plantar pressure (left/right foot and forefoot/backfoot) and foot contact area.
Results: Results: Changes in foot posture parameters are visible in both patients with temporomandibular disorders and in the control group, under different visual and mandibular conditions.
Conclusion: Conclusions: The findings suggest a clear necessity for higher-quality studies with larger sample sizes.
