Abstract
Electrical stimulation has demonstrated potential for reanimating eye blink following facial paralysis caused by damage to the seventh cranial nerve. This study investigated the kinematics of lid movement caused by electrical stimulation of the orbicularis oculi muscle in both normal rabbit and rabbit with surgically induced seventh nerve lesion
