Abstract

One of the most prevalent neurological illnesses affecting the VII cranial nerve is paralysis of facial nerve. The loss of sophisticated and multidimensional capabilities such as expression of emotions via facial mimicry, face identification, and communication is caused by nerve paralysis. Through stimulation of the proprioceptors, the Kabat rehabilitation therapy for facial paralysis can trigger or restore the neuromuscular circuit, restoring the normal functionality of nerve terminals in the muscles.This study aims to show how a patient can gain functional & aesthetic benefits through detailed clinical evaluation followed by kabat rehabilitation. Functionality evaluation of the facial nerve was based on the SFGS,FDI and H- B scales Patients who were treated with kabat rehabilitation method restored motor capacities of the paralysed hemifacia.
 Keywords: Kabat rehabilitation, facial nerve, facial palsy, proprioceptive facilitation, rehabilitation.
