- Abstract
Introduction. Some of the factors in the formation of temporomandibular joint disorders are changes in the central and peripheral nervous systems. In the context of creating connections between two joints, fascia and the concept of biotensegration are important. The tension created in the tissue is linearly distributed along the entire body. The creation of excessive tension within one structure can lead to the creation of identical tension in a distant structure. Aim of the study. The research hypothesis was that soft tissue manual treatments of the temporomandibular joint, with a duration of 7 minutes per side would affect increased mobility in the hip joint for the motion of the abduction. Results. The obtained value for the right and left hip joint shows a strong and positive correlation. This proves that the therapy performed had an effect on increasing the range of motion. Conclusions. Myofascial release of the tissues of the temporomandibular joint had a positive effect on the increase in the range of motion for hip abduction.
