Purpose Facial nerve electrodiagnostics is a well-established and important tool for decision
making in patients with facial nerve diseases. Nevertheless, many otorhinolaryngologist …

Background: Elicitation of eye closure and other movements via electrical stimulation may
provide effective treatment for facial paralysis. The authors performed a human feasibility …

Surface electromyography (EMG) allows reliable detection of muscle activity in all nine
intrinsic and extrinsic ear muscles during facial muscle movements. The ear muscles are …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to find out validity of Surface Electromyography
(sEMG) compared with Nerve Conduction Study and clinical assessment scale as …

Facial nerve palsy can cause diminished eyelid closure (lagophthalmos). This occurs due to
functional deficits of the orbicularis oculi muscle, potentially leading to sight-threatening …

Facial paralysis is the inability to move facial muscles thereby impairing the ability to blink
and make facial expressions. Depending on the localization of the nerve malfunction it is …

Voluntary blink control is vital in eye-controlled human–computer interaction (ECHCI).
Pressure sensors, known for their low power consumption and strong resistance to …

Objective (a) To quantify longitudinal 3D changes in facial soft tissue movements in adults
with unilateral facial paralysis, and (b) to compare the patients' movements with an age‐and …

Facial pacing ultimately aims at improving the quality of life of people suffering from
unilateral facial paralysis. A device to study facial pacing is presented. It is able to measure …

A survey on the feasibility of surface electromyography (EMG) measurements in facial
pacing is presented. Pacing for unilateral facial paralysis consists of the measurement of …
