Electromyographic biofeedback in the reeducation of facial palsy.
Electromyographic biofeedback techniques have been successfully applied in various neuromuscular disorders. Data on the use of this technique in reeducation of facial paralysis after initial surgical correction are scarce. The authors have developed a treatment program consisting of EMG biofeedback with the use of the Basmajian-Emory myotrainer. Two case reports are presented which show successful results after a three month training period.
