Q

lateral excursion occurs when the condyle and the disc of the _____ side are pulled _______ along the articular eminence

A

contralateral, forward downward and medially

30
Q

during lat excursion, the condyle on the ipsilateral sid performs a minimal ____

A

rotation around a vertical axis and a slight lateral shift

31
Q

where do lat excursion motions take place primarily

A

upper joint space

32
Q

lat excursion:

A

contraction of contralateral lat pterygoid, and ipsilateral temporalis. the temporalis holds the rest position of the condyle to prevent the mandible from deviating anteriorly

33
Q

increased FHP placs the mandible in a

A

more retruded position

34
Q

if same eye, angle of mouth are elevated

A

craniovertebral jt problem

35
Q

if eye and opposite angle of mouth are elevated

A

craniomadibular problem

36
Q

how to palpate medial pterygoid

A

from the inferior edge of the ramus in supine

37
Q

which mm should you not try to palpate

A

Lat pterygoid

38
Q

why is it so important to get the temporal bone on the horizontal

A

mandible motions cannot normalize on an unstable base

39
Q

Pain 1

A

anterior inferior synovium

40
Q

why pain 1

A

inflammation, excessive anterior translation of the condyle, exaggerated mouth opening; condyle compresses the anterior synovium

41
Q

Pain 2

A

anterior superior synovium

42
Q

why pain 2

A

inflammation, excessive anterior translation of condyle past the inferior edge of the articular eminence; leads to chondromalacia

43
Q

Pain 3

A

lateral collateral ligament

44
Q

why pain 3

A

tenderness of the LCL suggests joint effusion, disc hypermobility, and possible medial disc displacement/excessive lateral condylar positioning

45
Q

Pain 4

A

temporomandibular ligament

46
Q

why pain 4

A

tenderness suggest progressed (moderate) hypermobility of disc, hyperactivity of the temporalis mm

47
Q

Pain 5

A

posterior inferior synovium

48
Q

why pain 5`

A

contact the neck of the condyle against the posterior temporal wall, dental occlusal issue, parafunctions, check C1-2!, predictive of DJD

49
Q

Pain 6

A

posterior superior synovium

50
Q

why pain 6

A

contact of the neck of the condyle against the posterior temporal wall, posterior synovium, AND posterior dense portion of disc, predictive of chondromalacia and DJD

51
Q

Pain 7

A

posterior ligament

52
Q

why pain 7

A

pain indicates anterior position of the disc, compression and insult to the posterior ligament where it is attached to the posterior dense portion of the disc, arteries. progressed anterior disc displacement, DJD

53
Q

Pain 8

A

retrodiscal tissue

54
Q

why pain 8

A

pain indicates anterior subluxation of the disc, progressed DJD, inflammation, bleeding, effusion (intracapsular). can lead to intra-articular adhesions that disallow reduction of the disc. disc can also be displaced medially or laterally

55
Q

excessive anterior translation causing stretching of capsule, leading to inflammation

A

Pain 1, 2

56
Q

sprain of the lateral collateral ligament or temporomandibular ligament, some degree of jt hypermobility

A

pain 3, 4

57
Q

excessive posterior position of the mandible; the neck of the condyle contacting the temporal fossa

A

pain 5, 6

58
Q

posterior ligament sprain and compression inside the jt; disc displacement

A

pain 7, 8

59
Q

pain with resisted mouth opening strongly points to

A

non-reducing disc

60
Q

in the absence of trauma to the head/mandible, the problem typically starts with

A

the craniovertebral spine

61
Q

synovitis is tender to palpation at TMJ

A

lateral condyle or posterior compartement

62
Q

pain with biting on opposite side

A

synovitis

63
Q

how to treat synovitis

A

treat with long axis distractions, re-ed for controlled opening, modalities, active rest

64
Q

T/F masticatory muscle disorders typically have joint sounds

A

F. they also have no history of joint sounds

65
Q

pain with biting on the same side

A

masticatory muscle disorders

66
Q

how to treat masticatory muscle disorders

A

controlling opening, myofascial release, POSTURAL CORRECTION of the craniocervical spine, dry needling, education on parafunction, active rest

67
Q

what does parafunction mean

A

A para-functional habit or parafunctional habit is the habitual exercise of a body part in a way that is other than the most common use of that body part.

68
Q

elongated collateral lig and retrodiscal tissues

A

disc displacement with reduction

69
Q

disc lies in a medial, anterior, or lateral position at rest

A

disc displacement with reduction

70
Q

condyles are posterior to the posterior region of the disc

A

disc displacement with reduction

71
Q

on opening the condyle reduced back of the posterior region of the disc

A

disc displacement with reduction
