ABSTRACT

Background: Bell’s palsy is an acute-onset peripheral facial palsy and is the commonest cause of LMN palsy. Facial resting symmetry and expressions are determining factors of facial attractiveness & being a marker of good health. The study aims to compare the effect of motor imagery and mirror book therapy for recovery in patients with acute Bell’s palsy.

Methods: Total 20 Patients suffering from acute Bell’s palsy were included in the study. Baseline data were collected with the use of SFGS and FDI. The patients were given conventional electrotherapy and Motor Imagery and Mirror book therapy. After four weeks, the patients were evaluated again.

Conclusion: The data were analyzed using the paired t-test. The present study concluded that Motor Imagery and Mirror Book Therapy improved Facial Function and Facial Symmetry in patients with acute Bell’s palsy.

Keywords: Acute Bell’s Palsy, Motor Imagery, Mirror Book Therapy, Conventional Electrotherapy.
