Welcom to OCF Seema.

There is tons of info on here about trismus and the therabite. You can use the main site and do a search or also search thru the forum posts.

How far can your mother open her mouth? Does she see a physical therapist or speech therapist for help? I saw one of yor other posts said she was in pain. Has she done any hyperbaric treatments? Where are you in PA and where is she being treated?

Sorry for all the questions, it makes it easier to help you if we know more info.
