<![CDATA[Introduction. Bell's Palsy is paralysis of the peripheral nervus VII (Facialis) that arises acutely in the absence of other neurologic abnormalities and the cause is unknown. Objective: To determine the management of physiotherapy in increasing facial muscle strength and increasing the functional ability of facial muscles in Bell's Palsy sufferers with InfraRed, Electrical Stimulation and Massage modalities. Results: After doing therapy for 6 times, it was found that there was an increase in facial muscle function from the resting/silent position T1:10 to T6:14, frowning T1:3 to T6:10, closing the eyes T1:9 to T6:21, smiling T1:15 to T6:21, and whistling/washing T1:3 to T6:7. The increase in facial muscle strength was the result of M. Frontalis T1:1 to T6:5, M. Orbicularis Occuli T1:1 to T6:3, M.Zygomaticus Major T1:1 to T6:3, M. Orbicularis Oris T1:1 to T6:3, M. Procerus T1:0 to T6:3, M. Bucinator T1:1 to T6:5, M. Depressor Anguli Oris, T1:0 to T6:3 M. Corrugator Supercillii T1:1 to T6: 3, M. Nasalis T1:0 becomes T6:3, M. Inferior Labi Depressor T1:1 becomes T6:3, M. Mentalis T1:1 becomes T6:3, on M. Platysma T1:1 becomes T6:5. Conclusion: The use of InfraRed, Electrical Stimulation and Massage is effective in improving facial muscle function and facial muscle strength]]>
