Mime therapy via an online practice platform

Together with Physitrack, we developed an online exercise platform for mime therapy: an internationally distributed and evidence-based treatment method for persons with facial palsy.

Research Theme: Mensgerichte technologie

Field of interest: Health and Care

Financing: Andere

Mime therapy is an internationally distributed and evidence-based treatment method for persons with facial paralysis (Beurskens & Heymans, 2006).

As part of the research project at Arteveldehogeschool 'Innovation in mime therapy: development of a digital practice platform' (Desmet, 2021), the mime therapy course manual (Bronk, Devriese, Beurskens, van Hinte & Desmet, 2018) was digitised.

The digital practice package includes:

71 practice videos with oral instruction
11 exercise programmes
3 digitised questionnaires
4 information cards (general and per stage)
4 practice sheets (speech)

Een gedetailleerd overzicht van alle oefeningen vind je hier.

Dit oefenmateriaal is online beschikbaar via het oefenplatform Physitrack. Physitrack laat de therapeut eenvoudig thuisoefenprogramma's opstellen, PROM's meten en de therapietrouw van patiënten in de gaten houden.
