Bell's palsy is the sudden one-sided peripheral weakness of seventh cranial nerve (Facial nerve), represents 50% to 75% of all etiologies with a rate of 58.2 to 8 new cases per 1 million per year. The objective is to compare the effects of Kabat techniques and Neuromuscular Re-Education on facial disability and synkinesis in patients with bell's palsy. A Randomized Control Trial was conducted on 20 participants, equally allocated in Kabat and PNF training group from February-2020 until December- 2020. Participants were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria on purposive sampling technique and randomization was done by sealed envelope method. The assessment was done after taking consent before the first and last session. The tools included Facial disability index, Sunnybrook facial grading system and synkinesis assessment questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS v.20.

Other | Synkinesis Assessment Questionnair: | the tool is used to assess changes from baseline to 4 weeks The Synkinesis Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) is a valid, reliable, and easily administered instrument for the self-assessment of synkinesis in patients with facial palsy. This instrument was developed and validated in the Facial Nerve Center at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary (Boston, USA) in 2007. The questionnaire consists of nine items. Total scores range from 0 (no synkinesis) to 100 (severe synkinesis, all the time). The SAQ is a reliable and valid tool having the Cronbach alpha for the final SAQ was 0.859 | 4 weeks | |
Primary | SunnyBrook Facial Grading System | the tool is used to assess changes from baseline to 4 weeks The Sunnybrook scale is a regional weighted scale based on evaluation of different regions including resting symmetry, symmetry of voluntary movement and severity of Synkinesis to form one single composite score from 0 to 100. It was devised and established at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto having an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.890. The Facial Grading System is a tool used for clinical evaluation of Facial Nerve function. It is intended to use on peoples with facial nerve weaknes. | 4 weeks | |
Secondary | Facial Disability Index | the tool is used to assess changes from baseline to 4 weeks The Facial Disability Index (FDI) is a condition-specific scale that is proposed to be used to help clinicians in making decisions about individual patients and to differentiate among individuals with different levels of disability and to evaluate change within a person over time. It have 2 domains, i.e. physical function and social wellbeing. It have total 10 questions, 5/domain. Each item is rated on a 6-point scale, ranging from severe disability to absence of disability. Both subscales are transformed to a score on a 100-point scale, with 100 indicating unimpaired physical or social/well-being function. | 4 weeks |
