Problems solved by technology

However, radiation will inevitably cause damage to surrounding normal tissues during the treatment of tumors. The most common is the limited or even inability to open the mouth after facial muscles and buccal-mandibular joint injuries, which will lead to a sharp decline in the quality of life of patients.
In the past, in order to solve this problem, during the treatment process, patients were asked to make their own wedge-shaped wooden stoppers, put them in the mouth for training, and force their mouths to open. Due to the poor compliance ability of many patients, they did not follow the doctor's orders after leaving the hospital. More importantly, The cork is solid, and patients are prone to shortness of breath and even nausea and vomiting when they put it into the mouth for training. After use, the solid wood rubs against the teeth many times again, causing greater wear and tear, which affects the effect of mouth opening training

Embodiment 1

[0019] The present invention includes an opening training part 1 and an operating part used in conjunction with the opening training part 1; it is characterized in that: the shape of the opening training part 1 is a cone with a thick end and a thin end; the operating part is connected by an operating handle 3 and The connecting part 2 is rigidly fixed; the connection mode between the connecting part 2 and the opening training part 3 is to realize relative sliding connection in the axial direction.

[0020] The relative sliding connection is that the opening training part 1 is provided with an internal thread that matches the external thread of the connecting piece 2 . Adopting this linking method allows the patient to move the connecting piece 2 out of the opening training part 1 in the axial direction by rotating the operating handle 3 during use, which is convenient for the patient to hold the operating handle 3 for rehabilitation exercises. When not in use, the carrying vol...

Embodiment 2

[0023] Compared with the embodiment, the difference is: the relative sliding connection is an interference fit between the opening training part 1 and the connecting part 2 . Adopting this linking method can enable the patient to move the connecting piece 2 out of the opening training part 1 in the axial direction by pulling the operating handle 3 outward during use, so that the patient can easily hold the operating handle 3 for rehabilitation exercises. When not in use, the carrying volume of the training device can be reduced by pushing the operating handle 3 inward to move the connecting piece 2 axially from the opening training part 1 .

[0024] Since the connection part 2 and the opening training part 1 adopt an interference fit, a stronger air pressure will be generated in the inner space of the opening training part 1 during use, which makes it more difficult to pull out and push the connection part 2 . In order to solve this problem and better realize the effect of pul...

Abstract

The invention discloses a mouth opening training device for a patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma or limitation in mouth opening after nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy. The device comprises a mouth opening training component (1) and an operation component matched with the mouth opening training component (1), and is characterized in that the mouth opening training component (1) is a cone with a thick end and a thin end; the operation component is formed by rigidly fixing an operation handle (3) and a connecting piece (2); and the connecting piece (2) is connected with the mouth opening training component (1) in such a manner that the connecting piece (2) and the mouth opening training component (1) can move relatively in the axial direction. The technical problem to be solved by the invention is how to provide a simple mouth opening training device for the patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma or limitation in mouth opening after nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy, the mouth opening training device can be carried about and used by a user at any time and is simple to operate and convenient to use and clean, and furthermore, the pollution to the mouth opening training component caused by direct contact with the hands of the patient is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a simple opening device for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, in particular to an opening training device for patients with limited mouth opening during radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Background technique [0002] At present, radiotherapy is mainly used for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However, radiation will inevitably cause damage to surrounding normal tissues while treating tumors. The most common is the limited or even inability to open the mouth after facial muscles and buccal-mandibular joint injuries, which will lead to a sharp decline in the quality of life of patients. In the past, in order to solve this problem, during the treatment process, patients were asked to make their own wedge-shaped wooden stoppers, put them in the mouth for training, and force their mouths to open. Due to the poor compliance ability of many patients, they did not follow the doctor's o...
