Mammalian facial muscles contain muscle spindles

The Anatomical Record, 2023
AbstractMuscle spindles are sensory receptors in skeletal muscle that provide information on muscle length and velocity of contraction. Previous studies noted that facial muscles lack muscle spindles, but recent reports indicate that the human platysma muscle and “buccal” muscles contain spindles.

Quantitative ultrasonography of facial muscles

Muscle & Nerve, 2013
Introduction: There is no standardized method for examination of facial muscles with ultrasound. The purpose of this study was to identify those facial muscles accessible for reliable identification and to provide reference data. Methods: In healthy subjects all facial muscles were screened for visibility, separation from adjacent muscles, and ...

Myoglobinopathy affecting facial and oropharyngeal muscles

Neuromuscular Disorders, 2022
Myoglobinopathy is a rare autosomal dominant myopathy that manifests in adulthood with proximal and axial weakness and variable respiratory and cardiac failure. Muscle pathology features associated with myoglobinopathy include characteristic sarcoplasmic bodies in skeletal and cardiac muscles.

FACIAL PARALYSIS AND MUSCLE-RELAXANT ANESTHESIA

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1956
THE FOLLOWING case report is presented primarily to forewarn otologists of the insidious danger of using succinylcholine-drip muscle-relaxant anesthesia in any surgical procedure where the identification of the seventh cranial nerve is important to its preservation. REPORT OF CASE A 32-year-old woman had chronic left mastoiditis of 10 years' duration.

Facial muscle spasms: An Australian study

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Ophthalmology, 1998
Abstract Purpose: A group of patients suffering from blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm and Meige's syndrome were surveyed to determine the delay from the onset of their condition until a correct diagnosis was reached, the attitudes of practitioners towards them and their condition, the effect of their condition on their lifestyle and the effects of ...

Performance‐driven muscle‐based facial animation

The Journal of Visualization and Computer Animation, 2001
AbstractWe describe a system to synthesize facial expressions by editing captured performances. For this purpose, we use the actuation of expression muscles to control facial expressions. We note that there have been numerous algorithms already developed for editing gross body motion.

Spastic Facial Muscle Disorders

2012
Facial muscles are a group of striated muscles that, among other things, control facial expression and are innervated by the facial nerve (CNVII). In contrast, the nearby eyelid retractor muscle and masticator muscles are innervated by the oculomotor (CNIII) and mandibular branch of trigeminal nerve (CNV), respectively.

Morphology of Denervated Human Facial Muscles

ORL, 1984
17 biopsies of denervated facial muscles, the zygomatic, the orbicularis oris and the levator labii muscles, showed atrophic myofibers in most cases. There was loss of fiber typability when applying the NADH, the MAG and the alkaline ATPase reactions.

Muscle-Nerve-Muscle Grafting for Facial Reanimation in Rats

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 2017
Objective: Facial paralysis is a devastating condition leaving patients with a myriad of aesthetic and functional consequences. Muscle-nerve-muscle (MNM) neurotization is a reinnervation technique that involves implanting an autogenous nerve graft as a conduit between an innervated “donor” muscle and a denervated “recipient” muscle. We investigated the
