Introduction[edit | edit source]
The loss or decrease in facial movements, expressions and functions such as eating, drinking or talking produces a negative impact on the psychosocial well-being of people with neuromotor facial disorders. Therefore, the quality of life of this patient is affected in all aspects 2 y 1
The incomplete recovery of a facial disorder, specifically a facial paralysis, produces sequelae that interfere in facial expressions and, therefore, in self-esteem and social interaction. The most common are:
- Asymmetry
- Muscle contracture
- Muscular facial weakness
- Sinkinesis
It is very important to implement an efficient treatment that reduces the presence of sequelae. Neuromuscular facial reeducation as a conservative treatment protocol has proven to be the most effective because it recovers the symmetrical movement in the face and eliminates or reduces the problems in the patient's facial functions. 1
