Facial Palsy Introduction Facial palsy is due to the damage in the facial nerve that supplies the muscles of the face. It can be categorized into two based on ...the location of casual pathology: 1Central facial palsy- due to damage above the facial nucleus. 2Peripheral facial palsy-due to damage at or below the facial nucleus. Clinically Relevant Anatomy The VIIth cranial Nerve has its nucleus in the Pons and takes a rather winding route before exiting the skull through the stylomastoid foramen. It then passes through the parotid gland, splitting into 5 branches: Temporal. zygomatic. buccal. mandibular. cervical. Clinical Presentation Paralysis of the muscles supplied by the Facial Nerve presents on the affected side of the face as follows: Appearance and Range of Movement: Inability to close the eye Inability to move the lips eg. into a smile, pucker At rest, the affected side of the face may "droop" The lower eyelid may drop and turn outward - "ectropion" Functional Effects: Difficulty eating and drinking as lack of lip seal makes it difficult to keep fluids and food in the oral cavity Reduced clarity of speech as the "labial consonents" (ie. b, p, m, v, f) all require lip seal Dryness of the affected eye. Somatic Effects: The facial nerve supplies the lachrymal glands of the eye, the saliva glands, and to the muscle of the stirrup bone in the middle ear (the stapes). It also transmits taste from the anterior 2/3 of the tongue. Hyperacusis = sensitivity to sudden loud noises Altered taste sensation. #bellspalsy #bellspalsyrecovery #BellsPalsyAwareness #bellspalsyexecrise #facialpalsy #facialpalsytreatment #physiotherapy #physiotherapist #physiotherapyclinic #physicaltherapy #physiotherapycentre #physiotherapistinkarachi #physiosolutions

STUDY OF THE DAY: This large review from the Lancet found that 2.41 billion people could benefit from rehabilitative services. This number has increased 63% fro...m 1990. Researchers found that musculoskeletal disorder were the most common area of need. The article highlights the potential for physiotherapists to address this treatment need and proposes greater integration into primary care teams. This article is open access. #physiofact http://ow.ly/QBRX50CLqKA

STUDY OF THE DAY: This systematic review compared clinical outcomes between direct access to physiotherapy services and physician-first systems in health servic...es for musculoskeletal disorders. The results showed better functional outcomes, lower physical therapy and total health care costs, and fewer physical therapy visits for patients who accessed a physical therapist first compared to patients who visited a physician before accessing physiotherapy. #physiofact http://ow.ly/mS6950CFZk7

STUDY OF THE DAY: This article from the British Journal of Sports Medicine states that while there is no one size fits all approach to strength training for e...ndurance runners, greater performance benefits are reported with heavy and explosive strength training compared to strength endurance training. The authors encourage runners to seek the guidance of experienced health professionals (such as physiotherapists) for strength training advice. #physiofact http://ow.ly/iVrt50CRCI1

Merry Christmas! Another year of Joy, Peace and Love in service and growing with you.

STUDY OF THE DAY: This systematic review examined which type of treatment is most likely to be effective for patellofemoral pain. All treatments were found to b...e superior to a wait-and-see approach at the 3-month mark. Patient education combined with a physical treatment (exercise, orthoses or patellar taping/mobilisation) were found to be most effective in the short term as well as at the 12-month mark.

Who can say "I am fitter than she is"??

STUDY OF THE DAY: The authors of this small cohort study looked at sensory tests to determine if they could predict pain and disability during the first year fo...llowing low back surgery. They found that cold pain hypersensitivity at the leg prior to surgery was a slight predictor of a worse recovery. Further studies of this and other sensory tests could improve the ability to predict and reduce pain, disability and socioeconomic consequences associated with spine surgeries. http://ow.ly/yXOh50C4aNs #physiofact

STUDY OF THE DAY: Telerehabilitation has been used to enhance stroke survivors’ access to rehabilitation services in rural and remote communities, as well as du...ring periods of limited in-person access due to COVID protocols. This study looks at the reliability of a standard test of balance post stroke via telerehabiliation as compared to the standard in-person administration. The results support the remote use of the balance test. Researcher also note that 95% of the participants agreed or strongly agreed that they would be happy to use telerehabilition services for their next physical therapy appointment. #physiofact http://ow.ly/jS3U50BWU7B
