PREVENTION OF INDIRECT MUSCLE INJURIES: MULTIDISCIPLINARY INSTRUMENTAL DIAGNOSTICS, SPORTS GNATHOLOGY, DENTAL POSTUROLOGY IN SPORT

Resumo

The research aimed to demonstrate how the stomatognathic system, muscle, fascial and connective tissue chains, generate dysfunctional postural compensation that causes indirect injuries in sport. Multidisciplinary Integrated Diagnostics-MID, is used to measure the musculoskeletal system, correlating the entire fine postural system. Diagnostics analyses musculoskeletal information in both asymptomatic and symptomatic conditions; it is repeatable, scientific, non-invasive.  We tested a total of 50 young sportsmen and sportswomen, in the 15-25 age group, each with an unknown etiology. In most cases, correct dental integration and correction results in a benefit of painful skeletal muscle symptoms and less consumption in the proprioceptive functional response. In patients who have not improved after occlusal correction, the body's difficulty in accepting a positive stimulus is observed, where the expenditure of the reflex neuronal system is greater than that already in use by the same subject. Dysfunctional and non-dysfunctional body ergonomics maximizes its mission in the absence of pain with a minimum expenditure of energy, whatever the corrective means (visual, dental, vestibular, plantar), will have to deal with the control mechanisms to lower the general state of activation. For this reason, the differential and multidisciplinary diagnostics of the MID protocol is essential to identify and prevent musculoskeletal dysfunction, sports injuries and therapeutic follow-up.
