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.

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.

Comparison of Facial Muscle Activation Patterns Between Healthy and Bell’s Palsy Subjects Using High-Density Surface Electromyography

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021
Facial muscle activities are essential for the appearance and communication of human beings. Therefore, exploring the activation patterns of facial muscles can help understand facial neuromuscular disorders such as Bell’s palsy. Given the irregular shape
