Abstract
ABSTRACT
Internal derangement Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is a disturbance in the TMJ where there is a displacement of the normal functional relationships of the discus with the mandibular condyle and the articular part of the temporal bone, where there is a change in the pattern of motion of the disc (painfull arc) that makes changes in motion pattern C or S. This study aims to prove the decrease in disability by administering oscillated traction and mandibular condylar movement exercise (MCME). The design of this study is pre test-post test group design. 10 patients were given oscillated traction and mandibular condylar movement exercise also given 3 times a week for 2 weeks. Measurement test of decreased disability using Temporomandibular Disorder Disability Index (TDI). The results of this study indicate that MCME can significantly to decrease disability in the condition of internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint (p=0.001). It is recommended that physiotherapists apply it to patients with conditions of internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint to reduce disability.
