Description for Physical Rehabilitation of Paralysed Facial Muscles
Paperback. Using a combined morpho-functional approach the author recently found that polyinnervation of the neuro-muscular juction (NMJ) is the critical factor for recovery of function after transection and suture of the facial nerve. Series: Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology. Num Pages: 156 pages, 8 black & white illustrations, 14 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: MJN; PSAN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 10. Weight in Grams: 246.
Using a combined morpho-functional approach the author recently found that polyinnervation of the neuro-muscular juction (NMJ) is the critical factor for recovery of function after transection and suture of the facial nerve. Since polyinnervation is activity-dependent and can be manipulated, he tried to design a clinically feasible therapy by electrical stimulation or by soft tissue massage. First, electrical stimulation was applied to the transected facial nerve or to paralysed facial muscles. Both procedures did not improve vibrissal motor performance (video-based motion analysis of whisking), failed to diminish polyinnervation and even reduced the number of innervated NMJ to one fifth of ...
