Researchers developed an objective smile assessment method using a manual time-stamping technique for evaluating the success of facial reanimation surgery for facial palsy. A blinded assessor viewed videos of patient spontaneous smile assays and noted time periods of smile commissure movement on the healthy side (yellow bars) and affected half side (green bars if movement present, red if movement absent). They also noted connections between healthy side blink and oral commissure movement. A mean was calculated, yielding an overall percentage of smiles within the video clip that demonstrated synchronous oral commissure movements.
