ABSTRACT
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) may be affected in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and
osteoarthritis, especially in elderly and senile adult patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate
the signs and / or symptoms of TMJ in elderly subjects retired from a medical institution in Merida,
Yucatan, Mexico, previously diagnosed with arthritis, the onset of physical therapy and one month after
applying it. July-August 2015. A longitudinal, comparative and analytical study was conducted in 25
subjects ages 60 and older, both sex: men and women. The subjects who agreed to participated signed
voluntary consent letter. Also, a medical research card was made, which consisted of: 1) demographic
and medical data; 2) a directed interview based on Rodriguez-Osores and modified by Mendiburu-Zavala
in 2015 that included 33 dichotomous questions related to signs and / or symptoms of TMJ disorders;
3) the clinical examination was carried out carefully; 4) Finally, a manual prepared by Mendiburu-
Zavala exercise based on Rocabado-Seaton and Lawson´s manual. The exercises for relaxation of
the jaw and face, posture and managing TMJ noises were taught and explained individually, offering to
teach them the times they needed to exercise at home. The questionnaire and clinical examination was
applied a month later. The McNemar test was used. It was considered significant if P ‹0.05. A 28 %
of the studied subject were men and 72 % women, with an average age of 65.4 ± 4.8, with a 44 %
with osteoarthritis and a 56 % with rheumatoid arthritis. The effect of physiotherapy per month being
applied, had a significantly favorable responses of " NO" for variables : blocked, jammed or dislocated
jaw (P = 0.0156); Crackles ( P = 0.0195 ) and Snap ( P = 0.0001 ). The application of physiotherapy in
this age group with arthritis was favorable.
