Summary

The goal of this study is to compare the effect of kabat technique and neural mobilization with facial exercises in improving functional outcomes of patient with bells palsy

Detailed description

Bells palsy is seventh cranial nerve disorder which causes muscle weaknesss on one side of the face .Various approaches are applied to restore facial function but this study aims to distinguish kabat technique and neural mobilization .This study will assess and compare the functional recovery of facial muscles and improvemrnt in facial symmetry .This will help determine which intervention is more effective .

Conditions

• Bell Palsy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	kabat technique	kabat technique include diagonal movements to activate weak muscles through resistance . 3-5 repetetion per muscle for 2-3 sets .session conducted 5 days per week for three weeks each lasting 30 minutes .
OTHER	facial nerve mobilization	neural mobilization involves manual traction and circular movement around ear to enhance nerve mobility and function .5-10 repetetions .Session conduted 5 days per week for 3 weeks lasting 30 minutes facial exercises include raising eyebrows-eye closure-lip raising-smiling-snarling flaring of nose-forehead wrinkling-lipspuckering-pouting. 5-10 repetetions 3 times a day .7 days for 3 weeks
