  • Finally, Dr. Azizzadeh learns about a patient's facial paralysis treatment goals. (facialparalysisinstitute.com)
  • Understanding facial nerve anatomy with precise assessment of the patient's paralysis and health status dictates the potential for recovery and the most appropriate reconstructive scheme. (medscape.com)
  • By recording from densely distributed locations across the surfaces of the cortical region that controls speech production and related facial expression, they can analytically define what the patient is trying to say, even while the disconnected outputs of the patient's brain hit a dead end. (medscape.com)
  • By recording facial expression dynamics, it can also modulate the speech to further express the patient's conveyed emotions. (medscape.com)
