Abstract
This study was designed to demonstrate the possibility to apply a variety of physiotherapeutic methods for the treatment of postneuritic contracture of facial muscles. Both local application of physical factors (microwaves, ultrasound, low-frequency magnetic field, photo- and laserotherapy) and segmental reflexotherapy as well as general therapy (largely in the form of various balneotherapeutic procedures) are known to be used for the purpose. Recommendations are proposed to use different physiotherapeutic modalities taking into account the activity of a given pathological process and clinical characteristics of individual patients. Contraindications for the prescription of the above treatments for the patients with postneuritic contracture of facial muscles are specified.
