Bell's palsy

Hey

We have also been using IR infrared light to reduce inflammation in the acute phase. Gives good results. And yes PNF exercises should be given in front of the mirror. The normal side of the face for any particular activity like eyebrow raising should be resisted and the affected side should be assisted. At our hospital we make splints with cycle spokes. We cut the spoke according the measurement of the face of the patient. We cover it with catheter used for suctioning purpose of the same size. We then twist it in the shape of S so that one end of the s goes behind the ear and other goes inside the mouth to strech the affected muscle.
