What condition did Max from Grease have that he had to relearn to use his facial muscles?

Question

In tonight's episode, Max was saying something about how he had some sort of disease or condition that forced him to relearn to use his facial muscles. I missed what condition that was. What is it?

I love Max.. I think he is the perfect Danny. I like Austin, think he's a good looking guy but I really think he's too much of a pretty boy to be Danny..

This really isn't a trivia type question, I don't know the answer... I'm going to try to do the replay thing on NBC's website but I don't think it'll be up until tomorrow.

Thanks, I know what Bell's Palsy is, though.. my husband and my Grandmother have both suffered from it.

Answer 1

muscular dystrophy or something....

Austin has such a nice voice.... he makes me gushy when he sings... I never though John Travolta was cute but always liked Kenicki (sp?) better... Go Austin!!!

or errr Cerebral palsy? Man we listen well don't we?!? *lol* he was talking... I noticed his mouth moving but I have no idea what he said *lol*

Answer 2

Bells palsy :Bell’s palsy is a condition that causes facial muscles to weaken or become paralyzed. This condition is caused by trauma to the 7th cranial nerve, also referred to as the CN-VII nerve. Bell’s Palsy is caused by an inflammation within a small tube called the fallopian canal. The inflammation of the fallopian canal results in impairment of all functions controlled by the 7th nerve. The 7th cranial nerve is responsible for many functions.

Muscle control in the neck
Forehead and facial expressions
Sound volume
Transmits sensations at the outer ear
Stimulates secretions of the lower jaw
Salivary glands in the front of the mouth
Tear glands
The cause of Bell's palsy is often not clear. Studies have shown that Bell's palsy may be caused by head injury, tumor, hypertension (high blood pressure), sarcoidosis, Lyme disease, herpes virus, or infarction (tissue death) of the nerve.
