To objectively examine this idea,we decided toclosely rnonitor the progress of a

in
facialpalsy. Both the physical therapy and the speech therapy departments worked in close collaboration teimprove formulation and symmetry of facialexpression, and towork on finely

cha-nges by photographs inthe center of gravity,manual muscle testsof
facial
muscles, andelec-tromyographic
activity. To assess thedegree
ofdrooping

In
thisstudy weclosely examined this
idea
by
studying a patientwho suffered paralysis inall four Iimbs as well as
inthe facialregion
following
ahemorrhage
inthebrainstem.
2.
Methods
The
subject was a 57-year-old woman who hadsuffered a hemorrhage inthebrainstem with
subse-quent ataxia,

syndromee), fiaccid pa-ralysis on theright side of the face(Fig.
1,le'ft),andlefthemiparesis. Although she had undergone
sur-gicalrepair of
her
right eyelid, itdrooped
marked-ly. Computerized tomography taken immediateLy
after the onset had shown the hemorrhage to be
located in the right poFterior region of the pons.
She had undergone conservative treatment, whjch
included physical therapy
in
the laterstage. At one year and one week after the onset, thesubject was admitted to our hospital,We
chose to study a relatively "oldintractable"
case such as
hers

itiatedand produces a change, such change can be attributed to the treatrnentitselfeven though no
control group
is
inciuded
as partof the study.To study thissubject we performed the following
assessment.
1) A video camera recorded the subject sitting on the edge of a bench,and pictureswere produced
on
thermosensitive
paper via a special video camera processor. From the resulting photographswe measured
inclinations
of thehead
and trunkin
'
the frontalplane and in the leftparasagittalplane.
These
measurements were takenin
accordancewith standards published by the Physical
Dis-cibilities
Committee
of theJapanese
Orthopaedic
Association.
2) With the subject in thesame seated position,
but with
both
subject andbench
on alarge
plat-form thatcould measure the center of vertical pres-sure, we measured
fiuctuations
in
thecenter ofgra-vity
over a period offive
seconds.・A
videorecord-ing
of the subjeces p6sition was also taken at thistime and synchronized to the analog
center-ef-gravity information via a custom-macle device. 3) Photographs were taken of the subject's face
during
relaxation, during smiling, and during pro-nunciations ofthe
sounds/a:Lli:/
and./ua:f.
We performed manual muscle tests according toDanieLs'"

the

4) We measured the vertical distance between
the eyelids
to
as$ess the diMculty inclosing of herright eye.
5)
With
surface electrodes, we recordedelec-tromyograms bilaterallyof thefrontalis, zygomatic-us major, and depressor anguli oris. Video
record-ings
were synchronized with the electromyogramsby the aid of thedevicernentioned in2)"'.

The above assessment was performed at both

InitialAssessment
When firstadmitted to our hospitag,thesubject

no-ticeablefluctuating movements arising from the
pelvic region while the

She

se she compensatedfor
thisby

pistworked with her
three
timesweekly, 40 minutesper session, The following account
briefiy
summa-rizes hertreatment principallyinphysicaltherapy.
The
first
task was toregain symmetrical sittingby encouraging trunk extension while maintaining
cocontraction of pelvic and trunk musculature.
The two principalproblems were
lack
of tonein
the lefttrunk muscles and poor balance reactionsinsitting. Having thesubject try toassume sitting
from a position of lyingon her right side was one way to bring activity
into
her
lefttrunk muscles(Fig.
6,right}. This task al$o induced her tobringher head from a right-tilted position
(Fig.
1,
right)tothe midline.
Then,
by
having
the subject stand and attemptshallow squats, cocontraction of
the
pelvic and trunk musculature could beencouraged ina differ-ent way(Fig.
6,lgfO.When she elevated her right arm, the lefttrunk musculature was induced to maintain activity throughout the task.

shebecame
able to perform shallew squatsmore easily, she was then

Coming up from tyingon the right sideto augment tonic activity in the left
Physical Therapy forFacia
began todecrease,and she was more easily able to assume a symmetrical posture when seated,
Through
the
above activities, shebecarne
ableto
maintain her head ina midline positionand to hold her mouth closed,
The therapist then directed treatment to facial expression. Most of the
facial
muscles attach tothefacial
skin, requiringdelicate
methods of making expressions.This
part of treatment began with thesubject
in
supine,because
her
head
could easilybe
stabilized and the effects of gravity were elimi-nated,The
right platysma was overly shortened,tending topulltheright cheek and right side ofthe
mouth downward. Any movement requires an
ap-propriate degree of fixation.Inthe case of the
rig-ht-hand corner of the mouth being pulled during enunciation of the
li:/
sound or of the zygomaticus major contracting during a sniile, the levator labiisuperioris alaeque nasi and zygomaticus minor
must play the role of central fixators.The
thera-pist thus induced contractile acti"ity with his
fingers
on Lhe upper cheeks alongboth
sides ofthe
nose
(Fig.
7,
left).Fingers were also used toinhibitexcessive activity on the
left
side ef theface
due
todysmetria.
The
next task was tohave
thesubject shapeher
mouth for the
fi:f
sound and to have her smile(Fig.
7,right). By having her phonate with theli:!
sound weakly so that only mild muscular contrac-tions could beobserved, the tendency forthe lipstobe pulledleftward could
be
prevented. The subject was then to shape her mouth forthe!ua:/
sound(Fig
8,
lefV.The therapist manuaHy assisted her inrounding
her
right side ofher
mouth.The therapi$t likewise provided manual
assis-tance tothe
drooping
right eyelid tohelp

bring
about activity inthefrontalis

facialmusculature on theleftside was hyperactive and nbeded tobe inhibited,so only slowly perform-ed contractions were elicited,with gradual stepwise
increments of effort.
Sometimes
the subject used a mirror inorder to control herfacialexpressions easily by herself.

showed no substantial changes(Fig.

Discussion
The factthat the mouth of thissubject
continual-ly
remained open was particularlyapparent whenaccompanied
by
hyperextension
at the neck.As'
control of the extension of the trunk
improved,
ataxic
fiuctuations
in
movement decreased, whichin
turn enabled thehead
to assume a more erectpositions.AIIef thesechanges appear to
have
con-tributed to helping her maintain closure of the
mouth more easily.
The
exaggeratedflexion
of theh6ad
to theright,which
interfered
withthe
subjecVs socializingbe-havior,resulted ina shortening of the right
platy-sma. As

The fact that the leftfacialmuscles lacked the
fine
delicate
control necessaryfor
facial
expressionscan
be
attributed toabnormal
exaggeratedcontrac-tions
due
todysmetria.
To
obtain smooth gradedmovements of the facialmuscles needed for facial
expression, the subject practiced
delicate
move-ments of expression on the left$ide of the faceonly after reexperiencingthe
sensation of gradedmove-ment inthe whole body. Movements of fac.ial
ex-pressionon theright side of thefacewere practiced
in conjunction with the leftsided movements to
contribute to a more complete recovery. The right
frontalisand zygomaticus major showed no re-markable myoelectric changes, but manual-muscle
testsand photographic evidence indieatedsome
im-provement
in
thosemuscles.The
faintcontractions of the muscles on the right side of the face,com-b;ned with the exaggerated contractile activitie$ of
the corresponding muscles on
the

The
