    Bell's Palsy causes lesions of the facial nerve that can be either in the upper motor neuron or lower motor neuron. Physical therapy assessment for Bell's Palsy involves both informal and formal assessments. The informal assessment evaluates general observations and specific areas, while the formal assessment tests pain, adhesions, muscle strength, and reflexes. Physical therapy treatment differs in the acute stage versus recovery stage, with goals of reducing pain and swelling initially and later focusing on improving muscle strength and function.
