•Adult (i.e. over 18 years of age)
•- New-onset facial palsy diagnosed by a speech pathologist (SP); resulting from damage to central nervous system (e.g., stroke or acquired brain injury); persisting 72 hours post hospital admission.
•- Residing within 50km from either tertiary hospital site;
•- Does not present with a current significant cognitive impairment; intellectual impairment or mental illness that precludes participation in the study.

•- Previous or chronic facial palsy (central or peripheral);
•- History of progressive neurological disorders (e.g. dementia, Parkinson’s disease) or currently in post-traumatic amnesia as documented in the patient’s medical record;
•- Documented lack of capacity to consent as per medical record;
•- Allergies or skin integrity concerns (as documented within the electronic medical record) that would preclude participation in a protocol involving adhesives and adhesive removers;
•- Participants who do not have a significant other available to assist with tape application and lack the dexterity to apply tape independently;
•- Participants who are unable or unwilling to maintain a clean-shaven face for the duration of the study.
