The aim of the article is to present neuromuscular methods supporting logopedic therapy for patients with dysarthria in Moebius syndrome and to describe Moebius syndrome: its etiopathogenesis, pathomechanism and symptomatology. The therapy methods which were presented in the article: logopedic kinesiotaping, orofacial regulation therapy described by C. Morales and electrical stimulation were characterized from the logopedic angles, taking account of different ways of how each method affects neuromuscular regulation. The use of these methods has an impact on the facial muscle tone regulation, improvement of the functioning of the articulators, mandibular mechanics, respiration quality, thereby contributing to diminishing the dysfunctions in the respiratory-phonatory-articulatory apparatus.
