Summary

The current study sought to determine the reliability of the rehabilitation protocol using the labial commissure angle (LCA) as an indicator of both muscle tonus and therapeutic success. The investigators hypothesized that this measurement would provide objective data regarding the efficacy of rehabilitation for these challenging patients.
