| Abstract: | ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Bell’s palsy changes facial expressions and lead to functional problems in facial movement and negative psychological effects on patients. There are many physiotherapy interventions used in treatment of Bell’s palsy, among them includes electrical stimulation, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) technique, Muscle Energy Technique (MET) etc. Thus, this study intends to know the combined effects of facial PNF and MET for neck muscles in patients with Bell’s palsy. METHODOLOGY: 20 patients with Bell’s palsy were selected and divided into two groups based on selection criteria. Group A received Muscle Energy Technique along with Facial PNF and Group B received Facial PNF. Sunnybrook facial grading scale was used as an outcome measure for pre and post assessment. RESULT: On comparing pre to post intervention values in group A and group B, there was no significant difference in terms of facial movements and symmetry statistically, in both the groups. CONCLUSION: The present study concluded that both the groups showed average improvement in terms of facial movements and symmetry, but no significant statistical difference was seen between the groups. |
