Las alteraciones de la articulación temporomandibular (ATM) se presentan cada vez con mayor frecuencia y uno de los factores que participan de manera importante es la intensidad de las contracciones musculares. Se ha considerado que el ejercicio tiene un efecto benéfico en el tratamiento de dichos desórdenes. El propósito del presente trabajo fue valorar electromiográficamente los cambios en la actividad de los músculos maseteros de pacientes con alteración de la ATM después de tres semanas de haber iniciado un programa de ejercicios de los músculos mandibulares. Los resultados indican que hubo una disminución significativa (P < 0.05, t de Student) en la actividad muscular, acompañada de una mejoría clínica. Estos resultados indican que el ejercicio tiene un efecto benéfico en el tratamiento de las alteraciones de la ATM y que la EMG nos ayuda a valorarlo.
Palabras clave: Ejercicio mandibular; electromiografía; desórdenes temporomandibulares
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders occur more frequently every day, and one of the main involved factors is the muscular contraction intensity . It is considered that exercise has a favourable effect in the treatment of TMJ disorders. The aim of the present study was to evaluate changes by means of the electromyography technique of the masseter muscles activity of patients with TMJ disorders after a three-week program exercise treatment. The results indicate that there was a significant decrease (P < 0.05, t-Student) of the muscular activity and clinical improvement. This results suggest favourable effects of exercise for treating patients with TMJ disorder and the EMG technique helps to evaluate.
Key words: Mandibular exercise; electromyography; temporomandibular joint disorders
