By conducting electrophysiological tests on patients with facial nerve paralysis, the characteristics of synkinesis and the mechanisms of its manifestations were examined. The subjects were 114 patients of facial nerve paralysis on whom electroneurography (ENoG) and the blink reflex were conducted.
Two patients with autosomal dominant pure cortical cerebellar atrophy, belonging to the same family, exhibited imitation synkineses of hands and feet when the contralateral extremity was moved. The phenomenon was observed particularly when alternate movements of one hand were performed, but it also
BACKGROUND
Mirror feedback rehabilitation is effective in preventing the development of oro-ocular synkinesis following severe facial palsy. However, we do not have effective maneuvers to prevent the deterioration of oculo-oral synkinesis. We developed a new method of biofeedback rehabilitation
We report a 63-year-old man, who was diagnosed with probable Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, manifested by rapid progressive cognitive decline, gait disturbance, right focal hand dystonia, myoclonus, mirror movements, and involuntary homolateral limb synkinesis during alternating limb movements. Although
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the time course of synkinesis as a sequela of facial nerve palsy so that we are able to determine an appropriate time for deciding the outcome of recovery in patients with facial nerve palsy.
METHODS
Nineteen consecutive patients with peripheral facial nerve palsy who
Imitation synkineses had not been described in cerebellar ataxia and were not known in cerebellar experimental neurophysiology. We describe here imitation synkineses when alternate movements of foot or hand were performed, in 2 cases of pure genetic cerebellar ataxia. The phenomenon was observed in
OBJECTIVE
To investigate factors affecting the effect of physical rehabilitation therapy for synkinesis as a sequela to facial nerve palsy.
METHODS
A total of 37 patients with peripheral facial nerve palsy in Teine-Keijinkai Hospital were enrolled in this study. All patients showed synkinesis at 6
The facial nerve conduction velocity was measured in 30 healthy subjects (60 sides) and in 51 patients with a unilateral Bell's palsy. The normal value was 47.8 +/- 5.1 m/s. Incomplete recovery was common in Bell's palsy when the velocity was below 30 m/s. Mild synkinesis was observed in only one
OBJECTIVE
Success of laryngeal reanimation through neurorrhaphy has been limited by synkinesis and preoperative muscle atrophy. The objective of this study was to investigate the use of epimysial electrode arrays as a means of delivering electrical stimulation to the posterior cricoarytenoid muscles
The classic hypoglossal transfer to the facial nerve invariably results in profound functional deficits in speech, mastication, and swallowing, and causes synkinesis and involuntary movements in the facial muscles despite good reanimation. Techniques such as a hypoglossal/facial nerve
To obtain symmetric appearance in facial palsy patients, it is important to retain any remaining potential of the compromised facial mimetic muscles. The purpose of the present study was to introduce surgical rehabilitation based on neural signal augmentation/neural supercharge concept for the
Neuronal development and maintenance of facial motor neurons is believed to be regulated by neurotrophic growth factors. Using celloidin-embedded sections, we evaluated immunoreactivity of 11 neurotrophic factors and their receptors in facial nuclei of human brain stems (4 normal cases, and 1 from a
UNASSIGNED
Functional and anatomical outcomes after surgical repair of facial nerve injury may be improved with the addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG) to direct suture neurorrhaphy. The application of PEG has shown promise in treating spinal nerve injuries, but its efficacy has not been evaluated
Objective: To evaluate the effect of muscle strengthening intervention in peripheral facial palsy (PFP).
Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted at five hospitals.
OBJECTIVE
The study presents the results of reconstruction surgery of lesions on n. facialis with n. hypoglossus and n. accessorius performed in our clinic.
UNASSIGNED
10 patients were treated by anastomosis of n. facialis with n. hypoglossus (HFA), 1 patient by anastomosis of n. facialis with n.
