The cases of peripheral facial palsy were studied with a Chronax CX-2 that was semi-automatic apparatus disigned to clarify the prognosis or degree of nerve degeneration and the recovery process of the palsy.
A comparative study on strength-duration curve (S-D curve) and nerve excitability test (NET) was performed in the 68 cases with the facial palsy.
The result obtained in this study were as follows:
1) Proportional relationship between S-D curve and NET was demonstrated.
2) S-D curve was well documented on each nerve branches for degree of degeneration or recovery process of the nerve.
