Abstract:
The aim of this study was to develop a method of objectively evaluating the results of a dynamic reconstruction of facial nerve paralysis by means of nerve transplants with a view to reinnervating a free muscle transplant. The Vicon 3 D motion analysis system was used to measure the distances and movements of marker points on the face of the patient. This objective technique permits evaluation of the operation as well as the results of treatment.
