Unilateral peripheral facial palsy (PFP) results in facial asymmetry and functional impairment, reducing quality of life. Accurate, objective assessment is vital for monitoring and rehabilitation. This study presents an automated method utilizes stan...
Facial palsy (FP) can lead to significant psychological and physical burdens such as facial synkinesis. This involuntary simultaneous movement of facial musculature remains challenging to diagnose and treat. This study aimed to develop a cost-effecti...
BACKGROUND: While accurate evaluation of PFP is crucial for determining optimal treatment strategies, current clinical assessments rely heavily on subjective evaluations, leading to considerable variability between inter- and intra-observer ratings.
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly advancing and increasingly applied in facial palsy research. However, there is no comprehensive review to guide surgeons on AI-based facial assessment tools. Although photographic standards exist, v...
Facial nerve paralysis (FNP) impair eyelid closure and blinking, risking ophthalmic complications and vision loss. Current detection methods primarily rely on static facial asymmetries, overlooking the dynamic eyelid movements during blinking that ar...
BACKGROUND: Establishment of a quantitative, objective evaluation tool for facial palsy has been a challenging issue for clinicians and researchers, and artificial intelligence-driven video analysis can be considered a reasonable solution. The author...
