Correlation between electromyography and quantitative ultrasonography of facial muscles in patients with facial palsy

In this study we correlated results of ultrasonographic muscle thickness and contractility with facial electromyography (EMG) in patients with unilateral peripheral acute or chronic facial palsy.
