“…In the literature we find subjective methods, which the examiner, based on a scale, assigns paralysis grading as House-Brakmann 28 , Yanagihara 7 or, even, the system called Toronto Facial Grading System, We used the data without differentiating the right and left sides, in order to calculate the movements at rest and after the contraction, considering what can be seen on general tables (attachment), and also according to what some authors have already recorded; these numbers show a statistically irrelevant difference.…”

“…In 1985, The Facial Nerve Disorders Committee of the American Academy of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery adopted, as universal standard, a grading system based on the studies carried out by House and Brackmann, which is used all over the world today and by all researchers in the field 6 . Many other scales have been suggested, for instance, the one from Yanagihara, used in Japan, which assesses 10 facial areas; but it does not consider secondary changes, such as synkinesia 7 . Burres & Fish 8 introduced an objective method to measure distances between specific facial points during rest and five standard movements comparing the affected side on the face with the normal one (Burres and Fish's Linear Measure Index), using photographs and video.…”

Di fferent methods used to evaluate the movements of the face have many degrees of subjectivity and reliability. The authors discuss the ease of using these methods in clinical practice or their accuracy in scientific research. Aim:To obtain the standard for normal facial muscles movements using an objective method -the Vicon system. Materials and Methods:Light reflective markers were placed at points of interest on the face of 12 normal subjects. The movements were captured by cameras that sent the images to a computer. The points' displacements were measured between rest and maximum muscle contraction; and we calculated the means and the standard deviations (SD) were calculated.Results: When smiling, the variation of the oral commissures was between 6.45 and 12.11 mm, mean of 9.28 mm and SD od 2.83; for lifting the eyebrow, it is between 6.0 and 13.08 mm, mean of 10.57 mm and SD of 2.51; for eyelids movement there was a variation of 6.89 and 11.29 mm, with a mean value of 9.09 mm and SD of 2.20; for the movement of wrinkling the forehead, the results showed a variation of 4.16 and 10.85 mm, with a mean value of 7.56 and SD of 3.29. Conclusion:The authors obtained normal patterns for facial muscle contraction. Braz J Otorhinolaryngol. 2012;78(2):41-51. ORIGINAL ARTICLE

“…To evaluate facial function, we used Yanagihara's Unweighted Grading System (Y-system) and the HouseBrackmann Grading System (HB-system). The Y-system assesses the level of paralysis in the different situations, whereas the HB-system focuses on facial movement as a whole 12) .…”

Abstract.[Purpose] The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of symmetric self-performed facial muscle exercises on the facial muscle function of patients with facial palsy.[Subjects] The subjects were 26 persons (men=12, women=14) who suffered from facial palsy and were treated by western-oriental medical treatment. [Methods] We educated patients to conduct symmetric self-performed facial muscle exercises three times per day for four weeks by themselves to facilitate neuromuscular function. We evaluated them before and after the exercise period using Yanagihara's Unweighted Grading System and the House-Brackmann Grading System. [Results] After 4 weeks' symmetric self-performed facial muscle exercises, patients showed a significant improvement in facial palsy. The control group also showed a significant improvement. According to both Yanagihara's Unweighted Grading System and the House-Brackmann Grading System, the intervention group showed a greater improvement of scores than the control group.[Conclusion] These results suggest that adding symmetric self-performed facial muscle exercises to the western-oriental medical treatment is a more effective treatment than western-oriental medical treatment alone for recovery from facial palsy.

“…Therefore, identification, evaluation, and follow-up of this surgical complication are very important. Among the clinical methods employed for evaluation of frequency and degree of nerve injury, the HouseBrackmann grading system appears to be quick, comprehensive, and widely used [6]. Aims and Objective: To assess the efficacy of mouth opening exercises in patients with reduced mouth opening & electrical stimulation for facial muscle weakness along with facial exercises in improving the motor function of facial nerve after TMJ surgery.…”
