[0002] Facial paralysis is one of the main diseases causing facial nerve dysfunction, with the common symptom being asymmetry of the mouth and eye. It is a common and frequently occurring disease, affecting people of all ages. Current evaluation methods for facial paralysis primarily rely on doctors' subjective judgment based on the patient's facial movements, such as observing the whites of the eyes when the eye is closed or the degree to which forehead wrinkles disappear when the eyebrows are raised. This intuitive, subjective judgment depends heavily on the doctor's clinical experience, making it inefficient and prone to error, and unable to objectively and accurately evaluate treatment effectiveness.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The auxiliary measuring device for facial paralysis of this utility model is illustrated in the following embodiments:

[0026] An auxiliary measuring device for facial paralysis includes: a measuring panel 100, a forehead wrinkle vernier 200, and an eye white vernier 300.

[0027] The measuring panel 100 is a transparent thin plate. The measuring panel 100 has a forehead wrinkle scale 110 and a sclera scale 120. Both the forehead wrinkle vernier 200 and the sclera scale 300 are connected to the measuring panel 100. The forehead wrinkle vernier 200 is adjustablely connected to the measuring panel 100 along the extension direction of the forehead wrinkle scale 110. The sclera scale 300 is adjustablely connected to the measuring panel 100 along the extension direction of the sclera scale 120.

[0028] In practical use, the relative positions of the forehead wrinkle vernier 200 and the forehead wrinkle scale 110 are used to accurately measure the forehead wrinkles when the patient raises their eyebrows. The relative positions of the sclera vernier 300 and the sclera scale 120 are used to accurately measure the sclera exposed when the patient's eyes are closed. The transparent measurement panel 100 allows for direct observation, facilitating the alignment of the forehead wrinkle vernier 200 with the end of the patient's forehead wrinkles when raising their eyebrows and the sclera vernier 300 with the edge of the sclera exposed when the eyes are closed, thereby accurately measuring the corresponding data. It can also be photographed for recording and comparison of changes in the condition.

[0029] In this embodiment, a nose bridge marker 130 is provided in the center of the measuring panel 100. The nose bridge marker 130 extends in the vertical direction. The forehead wrinkle marker 110 is perpendicular to the nose bridge marker 130 and extends in the horizontal direction. The sclera marker 120 is parallel to the nose bridge marker 130 and extends in the vertical direction.

[0030] In actual use, the nasal bridge marking line 130 is set along the vertical direction and aligned with the patient's nasal bridge. The length of the forehead wrinkles when the eyebrows are raised is measured in the left-right direction using the forehead wrinkle ruler 110 and forehead wrinkle vernier 200. The white of the eye ruler 120 and white of the eye vernier 300 are used to measure the white of the eye exposed in the vertical direction when the eyes are closed.

[0031] In this embodiment, the forehead wrinkle scale 110 has a forehead wrinkle reference line 111. The forehead wrinkle reference line 111 is centrally located in the middle of the measuring panel 100. The forehead wrinkle scale 110 uses the forehead wrinkle reference line 111 as its zero mark, and the scale value of the forehead wrinkle scale 110 increases to the left and right sides from the forehead wrinkle reference line 111. By using the forehead wrinkle scale 110 with the central forehead wrinkle reference line 111 as its starting point, the left and right extension changes of the forehead wrinkles when raising the eyebrows can be measured, thereby accurately reflecting the transfer of the patient's facial paralysis area.

[0032] Furthermore, there are two forehead wrinkle cursors 200. The two forehead wrinkle cursors 200 are respectively positioned on the left and right sides of the forehead wrinkle baseline 111. In actual use, the two forehead wrinkle cursors 200 are aligned with the left and right ends of the patient's raised forehead wrinkles, thereby obtaining the length and position of the patient's raised forehead wrinkles.

[0033] In this embodiment, the upper end of the forehead wrinkle vernier 200 is connected to the measuring panel 100, and the lower end of the forehead wrinkle vernier 200 is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, overlapping with the forehead wrinkle scale 110. Specifically, the lower end of the forehead wrinkle vernier 200 is triangular in shape and has a forehead wrinkle measuring edge 210 parallel to the forehead wrinkle baseline 111. The forehead wrinkle measuring edge 210 allows for better alignment of the raised forehead wrinkle end with the corresponding scale of the forehead wrinkle scale 110, facilitating accurate value reading.

[0034] This embodiment has two nasal bridge markings 130. The two nasal bridge markings 130 are spaced apart from each other, forming a vertically extending nasal bridge groove between them. In actual use, the nasal bridge groove is aligned with the patient's nasal bridge for measurement.

[0035] In this embodiment, sclera scales 120 are provided on both the left and right sides of the nasal bridge groove. Both sclera scales 120 extend along the nasal bridge marking line 130. The two sclera scales 120 can respectively measure the amount of sclera exposed in the patient's left and right eyes when the eyes are closed via the sclera vernier 300.

[0036] For ease of measurement, the sclera scale 120 has a sclera baseline 121 extending in the left-right direction. The sclera scale 120 is arranged upwards with the sclera baseline 121 as the zero mark. In actual use, the sclera baseline 121 can be aligned with the patient's lower eyelid, so that the size of the exposed sclera can be directly read through the distance between the sclera vernier 300 and the sclera baseline 121.

[0037] In this embodiment, there is one sclera vernier 300. The lower end of the sclera vernier 300 has a sclera measurement edge 310 parallel to the sclera baseline 121. The distance between the sclera measurement edge 310 and the sclera baseline 121 is used to measure the amount of white showing when the eyes are closed.

[0038] In this embodiment, the forehead wrinkle scale 110 and the sclera scale 120 are arranged vertically. The sclera scale 120 is located below the forehead wrinkle scale 110. The forehead wrinkle scale 110 is located on the upper part of the measuring panel 100. The forehead wrinkle vernier 200 is located at the upper end of the measuring panel 100, such that the lower end of the forehead wrinkle vernier 200 overlaps with the forehead wrinkle scale 110.

[0039] In this embodiment, the upper end of the forehead finger 200 is elastically clamped to the measuring panel 100. The forehead finger 200 is a metal sheet. The upper end of the forehead finger 200 is bent into a U-shape and fitted onto the edge of the measuring panel 100. The forehead finger 200 elastically clamps the measuring panel 100.

[0040] The sclera vernier 300 of this embodiment has a connecting portion 320, which is located in the middle of the sclera vernier 300 and connected to the measuring panel 100. The measuring panel 100 has a vertically extending groove 140 in the middle, and the connecting portion 320 is slidably fitted into the groove 140 so that the sclera vernier 300 can slide vertically relative to the measuring panel 100. To prevent the sclera vernier 300 from swaying, the connecting portion 320 is rectangular, and its width is set according to the width of the groove 140.

[0041] In some other embodiments, there may be two sclera verniers 300. The two sclera verniers 300 are arranged in a left-right pair. In actual use, the two sclera verniers 300 measure the patient's left and right eyes respectively.

[0042] The forehead wrinkle vernier 200 and the sclera vernier 300 are both located on the front side of the measuring panel 100, and a wearing member is provided on the rear side of the measuring panel 100. The wearing member is used to fix the measuring panel 100 to the front side of the patient's face. In some embodiments, the wearing member can be in the form of a strap or Velcro, and the measuring panel 100 can be tightly fixed to the patient's head by adjusting its length. In some embodiments, the wearing member can be a headband or a structure similar to the temples of glasses to wear the measuring panel 100 on the patient's face.

[0043] Furthermore, the measuring panel 100 is made of a transparent thin plate that extends in an arc shape, which can fit the patient's face better and make it easier to wear securely.
