Randomized controlled trial shows lateral pterygoid technique improves jaw kinematics in temporomandibular joint dysfunction, suggesting effective therapeutic interventions.
This trial demonstrates the effectiveness of lateral pterygoid MET in improving jaw kinematics, with particularly greater improvements observed in lateral deviation, while the intervention showed limited effects on JFLS-20 and MMO when between-group differences were analyzed. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating lateral pterygoid - specific MET into therapeutic interventions for temporomandibular joint dysfunction.
