Full description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between TMD and SIJD and to determine the immediate effect of single-session orofacial manual therapy on SIJD. Patients diagnosed with both TMD and SIJD will be participants of the study. Patients will be treated for 1 session. Immediately after the treatment, participants will be asked to walk for 5 minutes, after which a second assessment will be done. The evaluation was planned to be done twice, at the beginning and end of the session. Pressure pain threshold, joint range of motion, functionality, and sacroiliac joint disfunction will be evaluated by using digital algometer, ruler, "Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)" and specific tests respectively.
