The diagnosis and treatment of facial paralysis is timely in the first seventy-two hours to avoid implications on the return of motor functions of facial muscles. The proposed solution is a software made up of two modules for the analysis and rehabilitation of facial paralysis: (i) The analysis module detects and quantifies the level of asymmetry in the face, this is achieved with the inclusion of techniques for calculating the divergence between the vital points of the face located in the eyes, nose and mouth, measurements optimized with the gamma correction method; (ii) The rehabilitation module stimulates the facial nerves with physical exercises and monitors the patient's progress during therapy, for this purpose, a 3D virtual environment was developed that tracks the patient's facial gestures and, through these, directs a series of activities supported in the physical rehabilitation processes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
