Electrical stimulation at motor threshold as applied by Farragher et al (15) would not elicit contractions in wholly denervated muscles; therefore, this stimulation almost certainly elicited contractions only in those muscles supplied by healthy motor nerves of the face (ie, the trigeminal nerve, which innervates nearby muscles of mastication) or facial nerve fibers unaffected by a partial Bell palsy. the posterior auricular branch--which innervates the auricularis posterior, the cranially oriented muscles of the auricle, and the occipital muscles--communicates with the greater auricular nerve, the auricular branch of the vagus nerve, and the lesser occipital nerve (3) A motor unit consists of a nerve and all the muscle fibers it innervates. |
