Facial Electromyography

Facial Electromyography (EMG) is a technique that records the electrical signals produced when facial muscles contract. Small sensors or electrodes are placed on the skin or inserted into the muscles to detect these signals. By analyzing these electrical patterns, doctors and researchers can assess muscle activity, diagnose disorders affecting facial muscles, or evaluate facial nerve function. This method provides real-time information about muscle health, helping in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions like facial paralysis, spasms, or nerve injuries. Overall, facial EMG offers a non-invasive way to understand muscle performance and nerve control in the face.
