Electromyographic feedback in the treatment of facial paralysis has been shown to be a useful alternative to surgical procedures. In this paper we report on the partial recovery of a 7-year-old patient with congenital bilateral facial paralysis (Moebius syndrome) that had been considered untreatable by medical specialists. Biofeedback of electromyographic activity was provided together with specific instructions, social reinforcement, and exercises that the patient carried out at home. The rehabilitation training lasted 1 year, during which there was a substantial increase in the electromyographic activity of the muscles on both sides of the face. A follow-up after 1 year of discontinuing the treatment showed that the muscle activity had been maintained and that there was a marked improvement in the patient's mood and facial expression.
肌电图反馈在面瘫治疗中已被证明是手术治疗的一种有效替代方法。在本文中，我们报告了一名7岁先天性双侧面瘫（莫比乌斯综合征）患者的部分恢复情况，该患者曾被医学专家认为无法治疗。肌电图活动的生物反馈与特定指导、社会强化以及患者在家中进行的锻炼相结合。康复训练持续了1年，在此期间，面部两侧肌肉的肌电图活动大幅增加。停止治疗1年后的随访显示，肌肉活动得以维持，患者的情绪和面部表情有显著改善。
