Table 4 Association between mandibular mobility and cervical mobility in the control group.
Variable | Backward flexion of the cervical spine | Forward flexion of the cervical spine | Lateral flexion of the cervical spine to the left | Lateral flexion of the cervical spine to the right | Head turn to the left | Head turn to the right |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mandibular mobility (abduction) | R=−0.28 | R=−0.1 | R=0.07 | R=−0.08 | R=0.14 | R=−0.13 |
Lateral movement of the mandible to the left | R=0.001 | R=0.27 | R=0.16 | R=−0.08 | R=0.16 | R=0.22 |
Lateral movement of the mandible to the right | R=0.13 | R=0.18 | R=0.38 | R=−0.21 | R=0.34 | R=−0.03 |
R – Spearman rank correlation coefficient |
