Video-Based Facial Movement Analysis in Facial Paralysis
Sponsor: Biruni University
Summary
This study aims to evaluate facial movements in patients with facial paralysis using video-based objective analysis and to examine the relationship between these video-based measurements and standard clinical assessment scales. Participants will be asked to perform simple facial movements, such as raising the eyebrows, closing the eyes tightly, smiling, showing the teeth, pursing the lips, and puffing the cheeks, while a video recording is taken. Researchers will also evaluate participants' facial function using established clinical rating scales and questionnaires. No medication will be given, no invasive procedures will be performed, and no changes will be made to participants' current treatment. The goal is to contribute to the development of more detailed, objective, and standardized methods for evaluating facial function in patients with facial paralysis.

Video-Based Objective Facial Motion Analysis
Video recording of standardized facial movements (eyebrow raise, eye closure, smile, teeth showing, lip pursing, cheek puffing) followed by objective, video-based analysis and comparison with clinical facial assessment scales. This is a non-therapeutic, non-invasive assessment procedure and does not constitute a treatment intervention.
