Compare the Effect of Functional Training and Complementary Exercise in Patient with Chronic Facial Palsy

Introduction: Facial paralysis, also known as facial palsy, can indeed be a challenging condition.It occurs when there is dysfunction or damage to the facial nerve, which controls the muscles of the face.This nerve, the seventh cranial nerve, has a complex pathway from the brainstem to the facial muscles.When it's not functioning properly, it can lead to weakness or paralysis of the muscles on one side of the face, affecting expressions, blinking, and even eating and drinking.Functional training is indeed a crucial aspect of rehabilitation for facial palsy.By incorporating exercises that target the muscles involved in facial expressions and other motor functions into the patient's daily activities, it helps to promote muscle strength, coordination, and control.These exercises can range from simple facial movements like smiling, frowning, and raising eyebrows to more specialized techniques tailored to the individual's needs.Objective: To study the effect of functional training and Complementary exercise in patient with Chronic Paralysis, facial palsy.Methodology: 30 Patient are randomly selected from the Red Cross hostel, Bhopal for the duration of study six months, Patient are included for this study are having no other neurological issues and Female of Middle age group.The Patient are excluded for this study are Infection positive cases are having tumor and other neurological problem.In this training six months, Functional training, Complementary exercises with electrical stimulation are implemented to incorporate the primary movement functions of the face, including the expression of emotions and other motor functions, into the patient's daily activities.Result: After Applying Unpaired 'T' Test, It Is found that there is no Significant difference between Group 1 (EMS AND FUNCTIONAL TRAINING ACTIVITY) AND GROUP 2 EMS AND COMPLEMENTARY EXERCISE As P<0.05 I.E.P=0.716.Conclusions: Functional training are better than Complementary exercises, when combined with electrical stimulation.
