Bilateral muscle activation in postparalytic facial synkinesis: a cross-sectional high-resolution surface electromyography study [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Facial synkinesis (FS) is a facial muscle coordination disorder following facial paralysis. We hypothesized that FS involves the entire network of facial muscles on both sides of the face.

Thermal Analysis of Facial Muscles Contractions

IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing, 2011
Facial expressions can be systematically coded using the Facial Action Coding System (FACS) that describes the specific action unit (AU) or combination of AUs elicited during different kinds of expressions. This study investigated the thermal patterns concomitant to specific action units performance.

Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Volumetry of Facial Muscles in Healthy Patients with Facial Palsy

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2014
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has not yet been established systematically to detect structural muscular changes after facial nerve lesion. The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate quantitative assessment of MRI muscle volume data

Magnetic resonance imaging of facial muscles

Clinical Radiology, 2007
Facial and tongue muscles are commonly involved in patients with neuromuscular disorders. However, these muscles are not as easily accessible for biopsy and pathological examination as limb muscles. We have previously investigated myasthenia gravis patients with MuSK antibodies for facial and tongue muscle atrophy using different magnetic resonance ...

Electromyography of Extrinsic and Intrinsic Ear Muscles in Healthy Probands and Patients with Unilateral Postparalytic Facial Synkinesis

Diagnostics, 2022
There are currently no data on the electromyography (EMG) of all intrinsic and extrinsic ear muscles. The aim of this work was to develop a standardized protocol for a reliable surface EMG examination of all nine ear muscles in twelve healthy ...

Newly identified axon types of the facial nerve unveil supplemental neural pathways in the innervation of the face

Journal of Advanced Research, 2023
Introduction: Neuromuscular control of the facial expressions is provided exclusively via the facial nerve. Facial muscles are amongst the most finely tuned effectors in the human motor system, which coordinate facial expressions.
