Résumé
The treatment of peripheral facial paralysis (PFP) involves, among other things, massage and facial exercises to restore facial symmetry and functional aspects. These exercises would be even more effective if they were repeated on a daily basis by the patient. In view of the methodological weakness of this subject in the literature, we were interested in the manner and interest of proposing self-training to the patient with PFP. By self-training we mean the exercises and massages that the patient will be led to carry out independently as a complement to the rehabilitation sessions. The aim of this dissertation is to carry out an inventory of speech therapy practices in relation to the management of PFP, with a particular focus on patient self-training. The results of the questionnaires highlighted the importance of patient self-training as well as its benefits in terms of care, particularly in terms of speed of recovery. This continuity of care is supervised according to certain modalities and depends largely on the patient's motivation. The data presented in this dissertation allow us to affirm the importance of self-training in the management of PFP. Future studies could evaluate this finding in a more standardized manner.
