Table 5 Association between mandibular mobility and cervical mobility in the study 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=−0.07 | R=−0.35 | R=0.01 | R=−0.04 | R=−0.03 | R=−0.08 |
| Lateral movement of the mandible to the left | R=−0.24 | R=0.19 | R=* | R=* | R=* | R=0.24 |
| Lateral movement of the mandible to the right | R=−0.27 | R=0.37 | R=0.2 | R=* | R=0.17 | R=* |
