Health authority | |
Study type | Interventional |
The aim of the present study is to analyze if there is a biomechanical relationship between trunk flexion and buccal opening and to observe if there is an improvement of trunk flexion by performing the "sit and reach" test when stretching the masticatory muscles.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Trunk flexion | Trunk flexion in cm, taken by using the "sit and reach" drawer (Eve-que). The measurements were made three consecutive times with an interval of five seconds between them. The result of the arithmetic average of the three measurements was the one that was accounted for in the study. For the measurement of trunk flexion, the subject was placed on the floor with his back against the wall and having the soles of both feet in contact with the drawer. | 1 year | |
Secondary | Mandibular opening | Mandibular opening in mm., assessed using the vernier caliper (INCUTEX Germany GmbHl). The measurement was made three consecutive times with an interval of five seconds between them. The result of the arithmetic average of the three measurements was the one that was caliper (corresponding to 0 of the ruler) was placed at the upper end of the lower central incisors and measured to the edge of the corresponding central incisor. | 1 year |
