A gaming approach in physical therapy for facial nerve paralysis patient

This work is based on developing a system for the Bell's palsy, a type of facial nerve paralysis, patients to help them in passive exercise, which is one of the major ways to recovery. This exercise method will be provided in the form of computer game so the user will be able to perform exercis...

Summary:This work is based on developing a system for the Bell's palsy, a type of facial nerve paralysis, patients to help them in passive exercise, which is one of the major ways to recovery. This exercise method will be provided in the form of computer game so the user will be able to perform exercise without the hardship that comes with active exercise. It will also show how much this system helps the patients and how its performance is analyzed by the users' i. e. the patients. We will also show that how passive exercise is preferable to current active one. As per initial experimentation, we found out that the proposed gaming approach for Bell's palsy recovery is useful to the patient.
