Abstract

Objective

Objective quantitative measurements of facial motion for the assessment of outcomes in patients with facial paralysis have been elusive. This paper will reintroduce an objective computerized program for measurement of facial motion and present data on symmetry in healthy subjects and test-retest reliability in patients with facial paralysis.

Study Design

Cross-sectional analysis of archived images.

Setting

Tertiary referral center.

Patients

Good quality video-recordings of 38 healthy subjects and 30 facial paralysis subjects with a wide range of paralysis that had been tested twice were selected.
