Brief Summary

To investigate the Effect of Kabat motor control re-education therapy on facial nerve Electro physiological responses and facial muscles function in bell's palsy. BACKGROUND: facial nerve recovery in children could be improved through facilitation of nerve regeneration which can be enhanced through Kabat motor control re-education therapy.

Conditions

Facial Nerve Palsy; Bell's Palsy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Electroneurography

  Measuringthe Facial nerve distal latency measured in millisecond (ms).via the Neuropack S1 MEB9004 EMG device

  6 weeks

• Electroneurography

  Measuring the Facial nerve amplitude measured in (mv).via the Neuropack S1 MEB9004 EMG device

  6 weeks

• Electroneurography

  Measuring the Facial nerve percentage of degenerations measured in(%).via the Neuropack S1 MEB9004 EMG device

  6 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Sunnybrook facial grading system (SBFGS)

  6 weeks

Study Arms (2)

study group

EXPERIMENTAL

the study group received the conventional selected program in addition to Kabat motor control re-education

Other: Kabat motor control re-education therapy; Other: conventional selected program

control group

EXPERIMENTAL

the control group received the conventional selected program

Other: conventional selected program

Interventions

Kabat motor control re-education therapy OTHER

Kabat motor control re-education therapy that includes specific movements with predefined patterns of facial muscles exercises, which is spiral and diagonal movements involve the facial muscles, which are brought to train in global patterns. The program of treatment for three times per week for six weeks.

study group

conventional selected program OTHER

the conventional selected program in the form of electrical stimulation (Faradic current) of affected muscles, facial muscle exercise program in front of the mirror, and home advices.
