Bells palsy is a sudden paralysis of half of the facial muscle. The BP is idiopathic and 70% responds well with drug therapy. There are many complementary therapies such as , tapping, electrical stimulation, and massage that adds to the recovery of condition. However, efficacy of neural mobilization in BP is not reported in the scientific literature.

Primary | Sunnybrook facial assessment scale | Sunnybrook facial assessment scale is a scale to assess quantitatively the facial asymmetry. It is a weighted scale based on evaluation of 3 different sub-scale including resting symmetry, the symmetry of voluntary movement, and severity of synkinesis to form one single composite score from 0 to 100. Firstly, the physiotherapist assesses the symmetry of the eye (0-1), cheek (0-2), and mouth (0-1) at rest. (0=normal, the weighted factor of 5). Secondly, the Physiotherapist rates facial movements during 5 standard facial expressions: a brow lift, gentile eye closure, open mouth smile, snarl and lip pucker, on a scale of 1 to 5 (1=no movement, to 5=normal movement). The values are added together and multiplied by 4. In the 3rd step, the severity of synkinesis on a 3-point scale (0=none, to 3=severe) during the 5 expressions as in the 2nd step. The overall score is given by the symmetry value of the voluntary movements minus the resting symmetry and the synkinesis. | 1 year | |
Primary | Kinovea© tool for facial movement analysis | As a secondary outcome, we used Kinovea©, a free and open-source tool for movement analysis (Kinovea©, 0.8.15 2006 to 2011; Joan Charmant & Contrib, Bordeaux, France). From plain video-recordings of movements, the software allows measuring distances and times, manually or using semi-automated tracking to follow points and check live values or trajectories. Facial distances were measured after maximal contractions movements of 3 selected facial muscles: frontalis, orbicularis oris, zygomatic. A symmetry ratio calculated comparing sides of each movement pattern. Subjects had to look straight ahead towards a specified target fixed on the facing wall and it was asked them not to move during video acquisitions. It was asked to keep the head lean the wall, keeping firm it during the 3 tested movements. | 1 year |
