What Are the Challenges in Assessing Facial Actions?
Assessing facial actions in neonates can be challenging due to several factors:
Variability: Newborns display a wide range of normal facial actions, making it difficult to distinguish between normal and abnormal. Subjectivity: Interpretation of facial actions can be subjective and may vary between observers. Limited Research: There is limited research on the normative data for neonatal facial actions, complicating the assessment process.
