Postural Analysis in Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJD) Patients: Correlation With Head and Neck Positioning. [PDF]
Background The relationship between head–neck posture and temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD) remains a topic of controversy, with existing studies reporting inconsistent findings. This study aimed to investigate this relationship by comparing specific postural angles in TMJD patients and healthy controls.

Reliability of “MB-Ruler Software” to Measure Craniovertebral Angle Using the Photographic Method [PDF]
Abstract Background The craniovertebral angle (CV angle) measurement is a convenient and easy clinical method for the cervical posture assessment. “Markus Bader (MB) ruler software” assists to measure angles and distances on the computer screen. The MB-ruler protractor is almost transparent; hence, it can be easily used on the computer screen.

Morphometric Evaluation of the Craniovertebral Junction Using Computed Tomography: A Sex-Based Analysis of 500 Adults. [PDF]
Background and Objective The anatomy of the craniovertebral junction (CVJ) varies considerably across populations, yet comprehensive Turkish‐specific morphometric data remain limited. We aim to establish normative CVJ measurements in Turkish males and females using computed tomography (CT). Study Design Retrospective morphological study.
