OBJECTIVE: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease leading to fatigable muscle weakness. Extra-ocular and bulbar muscles are most commonly affected. We aimed to investigate whether facial weakness can be quantified automatically and used for ...
Automated evaluation of facial palsy using machine learning offers a promising solution to the limitations of current assessment methods, which can be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and subject to clinician bias. Deep learning-driven systems have t...
PURPOSE: In order to assess the severity and the progression of a unilateral peripheral facial palsy the Sunnybrook Facial Grading System (SFGS) is a well-established grading system due to its clinical relevance, sensitivity, and robust measuring met...
Facial paralysis (FP) is an inability to move facial muscles voluntarily, affecting daily activities. There is a need for quantitative assessment and severity level classification of FP to evaluate the condition. None of the available tools are widel...
