  • Objectives : This study was performed to review articles referring to facial palsy sequelae evaluating scale and propose how to assess facial palsy sequelae. Methods : We searched for the medical literature to find out method of evaluating facial palsy sequelae. Then, we researched strengths and weaknesses of the scale and considered the way to appraise the facial palsy sequelae. Results : There were subjective and objective scale for evaluating facial palsy sequelae. Subjective scale could offer detailed assessment but had low objectivity and reproducibility. Objective scale had consistency and detachment but needed for specific equipments with time for measuring and calculating. Conclusions : We should evaluate the facial palsy sequelae with the strengths of subjective and objective scale and assess facial nerve function, symptoms of facial palsy sequelae and quality of life entirely. Moreover, the scale has to contain the reliability with static and dynamic assessment.

  • Objectives: The purpose of this study was to find out validity of Surface Electromyography(sEMG) compared with Nerve Conduction Study and clinical assessment scale as assessment factors for facial palsy. Methods: We investigated 50 cases of patients with peripheral facial palsy who had records of sEMG and NCS to check. Then we analyzed the correlation between sEMG and NCS that carried out around 1 week after onset. And we analyzed the correlation between sEMG and clinical assessment scales that were measured three times around 1 week, 3-4 weeks and 5-6 weeks after onset. Clinical assessment scales used in this study were House-brackmann grade, Yanagihara unweighted grading scale and Sunnybrook facial grading system. We used Pearson's correlation for statistical analysis. Results: sEMG and NCS, measured at similar times, were statistically correlated. Especially, the correlation with the forehead region was high. And sEMG and clinical assessment scale, measured at same time, were statistically correlated, especially after 5 weeks from onset. Conclusion: According to this study, sEMG is expected to be useful to assessment facial palsy.
