Tongue muscle active exercise training apparatus

Abstract

The invention discloses a tongue muscle active exercise training apparatus. According to the training apparatus, templates, which are made from a hard material and are provided with holes, are arranged inside and outside an oral cavity; a tongue is guided to actively explore and extend out of holes in different positions of the templates, and the tongue does a resisting motion of resisting elastic thin films on the positions of the holes of the templates; the invention provides a technology that the motion strength, motion range and motion accuracy of the tongue are exercised as a key, so that the efficiency of existing swallowing rehabilitation language rehabilitation training is improved; and in addition, the technology of the invention also has the characteristics of being simple to operate, safe to use and easy for medical and home rehabilitation popularization in the clinical field.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a rehabilitation device, in particular to a tongue muscle active rehabilitation training device, which belongs to the oral cavity training device in the field of rehabilitation training for swallowing disorder and speech disorder. Background technique [0002] Normal swallowing is completed under the close coordination of the muscles and nerves of the lips, tongue, jaw, pharynx, larynx, esophagus and other organs that constitute the swallowing channel. Dysphagia refers to movement disorders or delays in the passage of solids or liquids from the mouth to the stomach. This problem can cause complications such as aspiration, pneumonia, malnutrition, and dehydration, and can independently affect mortality. [0003] According to the point of view of oral movement therapy, the mandible, lips, and tongue are the three most basic oral movement organs. Their independent movement and coordinated movement activity, agility, and stability ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0009] As can be seen from the above-mentioned existing rehabilitation techniques, the current traditional tongue muscle rehabilitation training is only passive training of the tongue muscle. This traditional method has low recovery efficiency and slow recovery effect. The disclosed tongue muscle rehabilitation device is very practical for patients with tongue muscle weakness, but for patients with relatively strong tongue muscles who need active tongue muscle exercise training, tongue muscle strength training and precise exercise at the same time, it is more effective. There is a need for a method of guiding the active movement of the tongue and rapidly increasing the training effect described above
