The relationship of posture to myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome

L A Darlow et al. J Am Dent Assoc. 1987 Jan.

Abstract

A controlled study was performed to test the hypothesis that myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome is related to posture. Thirty patients with myofascial pain of the muscles of mastication were compared with 30 control patients in 28 parameters of posture. The results of this study indicated no significant differences between the two groups in any parameter tested.
