tongue muscle exerciser

Abstract

The invention discloses a tongue muscle exerciser. The tongue muscle exerciser is characterized by comprising a tongue clamp, a vibrating device with a vibration transmitting roller, wherein the tongue clamp comprises a fixed chuck with a fixed clamp handle, a movable chuck with a movable clamp head, which is in swinging connection to the fixed chuck; the vibrating device is fixed at the outer side of the fixed clamp head of the fixed chuck; a vibration transmission roller is connected with the fixed chuck. Compared with the prior art, the tongue muscles can be greatly exercised, the small-scale fine tongue muscle exercise can be performed. Moreover, the tongue muscle exercise is convenient to use, suitable for a patient to exercise by himself or herself.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a medical device. Background technique [0002] Neurological patients, such as stroke, motor neuron disease, and hypoglossal nerve damage after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, often suffer from tongue paralysis due to damage to central or peripheral nerve function. When treating tongue paralysis, it is necessary to pull the tongue out of the mouth, move the tongue with external assistance, exercise the tongue muscles, reduce the atrophy of the tongue muscles and promote the recovery of the tongue muscle's autonomous motor function. The existing auxiliary means is to manually clamp the tongue with clips and move up and down from side to side. This kind of movement is only a large-scale movement. Since the normal movement of the human tongue is very sensitive, it is not easy to restore the small and sensitive activities of the tongue muscles only by performing a large-scale movement. Massage the tongue, and then per...

Problems solved by technology

This kind of movement is only a large-scale movement. Since the normal movement of the human tongue is very sensitive, it is not easy to restore the small and sensitive activities of the tongue muscles only by performing a large-scale movement. Massage the tongue, and then perform small and subtle movements (such as patent application 201310614998), in order to pray for the restoration of the small and sensitive activities of the tongue muscles

Even so, in order to achieve the perfect effect, it is necessary to perform large-scale tongue movements at the same time, and to achieve such a satisfactory effect, only two different medical devices can be used at intervals to perform two different types of tongue muscles. This not only increases the complexity of the exercise, but also is inconvenient to use, and increases the difficulty of the patient's self-exercise
