On the surface it would seem someone wants to use estim as a means of
increasing responsiveness or perhaps facial tone? I'm not sure what it will
acccomplish in your case and I wouldn't use it. So the face involuntarily
twitches with estim-what does this gain for the patient's level of
functioning (except possibly the development of synkinesis).

I just received a transfer recommendation on a TBI patient-Rancho level 2
Generalized Response)for facial e-stim to be conducted 2/daily. Can anyone
explain the basis of this? It seems a bit inhumane to me...

It is my understanding that the stand on electrical stim from old research
is don't do it as it doesn't work, this from our PT peers. Thus I would not
want to encorporate estim in this person's treatment......

Dear Ron:
I've seen functional return range from complete recovery to nil.
Electrical and thermal stim, or any other modality that has the
potential to keep muscle mass/strength as good as possible while medical
treatments and/or time facilitate recovery, on a purely logical level,
make sense.
Sincerely,
Jeff
