Clappa Section

The Clapp-Stres incision is a simple and convenient method for assessing the tone of the facial muscles. Using the Clapp method, you can determine which of the elements of facial anatomy shows its weakness or to what extent. This method is a valuable tool for clinicians involved in the diagnosis of neurological diseases, because determining the tone of facial expressions in the hands of a specialist can tell the doctor the correct treatment tactics.

History of the Klapperen-Stress Study In 1873, with the help of the Klapperen study, a new technique for diagnosing tissues, including facial tissue and even the intestinal mucosa, emerged. At the first stage, a study of the vessels of the upper and lower eyelids was carried out, during which the reaction of the eyelid tissues to touch and air vibrations was assessed.

It is known that the vessel wall contracts between blood flows into the capillaries. There is a circular rhythm in the heart rate in the capillaries, which has been clearly observed in an unconscious person, as well as in patients during an acute cerebrovascular accident. Due to the fact that vasoconstriction does not mean a complete blockage of blood flow. On the contrary, the pulse filling of the veins and arteries increases significantly. Therefore, as a result of the study of blood vessels, it is possible to draw a conclusion about the tone of the muscle and vascular walls. In addition, it turned out that vascular and muscle tone is associated with many processes in the body. Consequently, by its change one can judge not only the very fact of hyperemia or a vasomotor reaction, but even the concentration of various chemicals and the functional state of the body as a whole. Klappa method The Klappa method is a method for determining the tone of the facial muscles through resistance to bringing them to the upper position. Resistance to this movement is the most reliable indicator of the presence of hypotonicity or dystonia of the facial muscles. The force of movement is measured using di
