Dynamic and Objective Quantification of Facial Nerve Palsy Using Smartphone‐Based 3D Facial Geometry

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This prospective study evaluated smartphone‐captured high‐resolution 3D facial geometry in 99 patients with unilateral facial nerve palsy across 207 visits and 12 healthy volunteers. Dynamic motion features combined with machine learning accurately estimated signed continuous House–Brackmann severity and identified clinically significant palsy ...

Trigeminal and facial branchiomotor neurons have shared muscle targets in zebrafish larvae

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Cranial nerve innervation map, based on previous studies, shows the trigeminal and facial motor nerves confined to the mandibular and hyoid arch muscles, respectively, except for the trigeminal nerve in the interhyoideus muscle (M.IH). The revised cranial nerve innervation map, based on this study, shows the facial nerve in the intermandibularis ...

Characteristics of motor units in the orbicularis oris muscle.

THE JOURNAL OF THE STOMATOLOGICAL SOCIETY,JAPAN, 1986
Characteristics of the motor units recorded from the orbicularis oris muscle in 7 subjects were studied during voluntary closure of the lips. The activity of the single motor unit of the orbicularis oris inferior muscle were recorded with bipolar silver ball electrodes improved for this study and the force generated by the lip-closure was ...

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy for Feeding and Swallowing in Children From Four to 12 Years: What Does the Evidence Show? A Systematic Review

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
This systematic review evaluated the effectiveness of orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) for improving feeding and swallowing outcomes in children aged 4–12 years. Searches of four databases identified 17 studies, all reporting positive feeding and/or swallowing outcomes, including improved eating and swallowing skills, orofacial muscle function and

Electrical Excitability of the Facial Muscles in Cleft Lip & Palate Cases

Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1978
The present study show that the excitability of the orbicularis oris muscle on the cleft side was low as compared to the non cleft side, and as deformity was increasing from group 1-1/3 to group II a higher intensity of current was required to get ...
