TMDs consist of a group of conditions affecting the masticatory muscles, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), or the associated structures. Previous studies showed alterations in TMJ kinematics, cortical excitability, electromyographic (EMG) activity of the masticatory muscles, and tongue pressure in individuals with TMDs compared to healthy controls. Furthermore, several studies have demonstrated that manual therapy applied to the cervical joint could reduce pain and improve jaw function in individuals with TMDs. However, the effects of upper cervical mobilization on TMJ kinematics, cortical excitability, tongue pressure, and EMG of masticatory muscles during mouth opening in individuals with myogenous TMDs remain unknown.\n\nPurpose: This study aims to investigate the immediate effects of upper cervical mobilization on TMJ kinematics, EMG of masticatory system muscles, cortical excitability, and tongue pressure in individuals with myogenous TMDs.\n\nMethods: A randomized controlled trial will be conducted with a total sample size of 48 participants. Individuals diagnosed with myogenous TMDs, defined as chronic myalgia (lasting \\>3 months continuously or \\> 6 months intermittently) according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders, will be recruited for this study. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental or the control group, stratified by age and sex. The experimental group will receive a single session of upper cervical mobilization, while the control group will receive a placebo maneuver. The primary outcomes will include TMJ kinematics and EMG activity of the masseter and suprahyoid muscles, while the secondary outcomes will include cortical excitability, tongue pressure, pain intensity, and upper cervical mobility. All measurements will be taken before and immediately after the intervention.\n\nStatistical analysis: The continuous and categorical variables of clinical and demographic characteristics will be analyzed by an independent t test\u002FMann-Whitney U test and a Chi-square test, respectively. A 2×2 mixed-model analysis of variance (ANOVA) will be used to analyze the outcome measures and to test the main effects and interactions between time and group.

Patla (1999) proposed that community mobility is influenced by eight factors: ambient conditions, terrain characteristics, external physical load, attentional demands, postural transitions, traffic level, time constraints, and walking distance. This framework suggests that community ambulation requires consideration of multiple physiological domains as well as environmental factors. However, current assessments of community ambulation primarily rely on indoor walking speed as an indicator, which may be insufficient to fully evaluate patients' community ambulation ability. Previous studies have not yet established the reliability of community ambulation assessments such as the Walking Ability Questionnaire, community walking speed, and the Falls Efficacy Scale (Taiwan Chinese version)-in individuals with chronic stroke.

The affected hemisphere typically exhibits reduced excitability, whereas the unaffected side may demonstrate increased excitability. This phenomenon, referred to as interhemispheric imbalance, further inhibits activity in the affected hemisphere, thereby restricting motor recovery. According to the interhemispheric competition model, enhancing excitability in the affected hemisphere and\u002For suppressing excitability in the unaffected hemisphere may contribute to the improvement of motor function in individuals with stroke. Furthermore, as motor function recovers, the balance of interhemispheric activation in motor-related cortical areas undergoes corresponding changes. Previous studies have shown that treadmill training enhances the excitability of the primary motor cortex in both hemispheres of stroke patients, as well as increases excitability across multiple cortical and subcortical regions in both hemispheres. However, it remains unclear whether treadmill training can normalize the interhemispheric imbalance in stroke patients. Additionally, the effects of forward and backward walking on the activity of motor-related brain regions in individuals with stroke are still unclear.

Previous studies have often used improvements in walking speed and distance as reference indicators for gait performance progress in individuals with stroke. However, for people with chronic stroke, it may be more appropriate to prioritize improving gait symmetry and gait variability to enhance gait quality as a primary intervention goal. Additionally, stroke can lead to an imbalance in interhemispheric brain activity, which evolves as motor function recovers. According to the literature review, backward walking may extend the support time of the lower limbs, thereby enhancing the weight-bearing capacity of the affected limb. This, in turn, could promote gait symmetry and reduce gait variability. Changes in brain activity might also accompany such improvements in gait quality. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the immediate, short-term and post carryover intervention effects of backward walking observation training on gait quality in individuals with chronic stroke as well as to explore its effects on interhemispheric activity balance in individuals with chronic stroke.",[211],[565,586,587,588,566,211],"Action observation training","Gait symmetry","Gait variability",{"date":569,"type":31},{"date":571,"type":31},{"date":592,"type":22},"2028-09-30",{"name":37,"class":38},""]
