Temporal joint training device

Abstract

The invention relates to a temporal joint training device, which comprises a first mouth biting sheet, a second mouth biting sheet, a rope driving device and a main machine device, wherein one end ofthe rope driving device is connected with at least one of the first mouth biting sheet and the second mouth biting sheet to regulate an interval between the first mouth biting sheet and the second mouth biting sheet; a fixing part and a driving element are arranged in the main machine device; the fixing part is connected with the other end of the rope driving device; and in addition, the fixing part and the driving element are connected to drive the fixing part to move through the driving element so as to draw the rope driving device to regulate the interval between the first mouth biting sheet and the second mouth biting sheet. A regulator is arranged in the main machine device so as to be used for the fine tuning correction of mechanical tension during assembling, and due to the arrangement of a force sensor, a moment of force when the mouth biting sheets move or rotate can be detected. Due to design that the fixing part is provided with a groove, a steel wire rope can be guided to move in a constant direction so as to prevent the steel wire rope from moving between left and right, the temporal joint training device provided by the invention can be guaranteed to normally operateunder a severe environment, and the steel wire rope is unlikely to fall.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a mouthpiece and a temporomandibular joint trainer including the mouthpiece. Background technique [0002] Temporomandibular joint dysfunction is one of the common clinical diseases, and is listed as the fourth oral epidemic disease affecting human health by WHO (World Health Organization). Temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome refers to pain, elasticity in the temporomandibular joint It is a syndrome of a series of symptoms such as noise, muscle soreness, fatigue, limited mouth opening, and temporomandibular joint dysfunction. The causes of the above-mentioned diseases are complicated, and it is currently believed that it is related to factors such as emotional instability, physical weakness, disordered occlusal relationship of the teeth, and trauma. The above factors affect the normal structure of the mandibular joint or cause obstacles to the coordinated moveme...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] (1) When the traditional temporomandibular passive training equipment is used, the head needs to maintain a posture and cannot move, so it needs to be held by a person. Whether it is assisted by medical staff or used by the patient, long-term use will cause muscle and cervical pain.

And the above-mentioned training apparatus is easy to move or tremble during operation, which is not conducive to physical health, and is even more unfavorable for the rehabilitation of patients. Therefore, there are many disadvantages in the above-mentioned training apparatus.

[0007] (2) The traditional temporomandibular passive training equipment requires a person to manually adjust the mouth opening distance. After the adjustment, the mechanical device needs to be manually operated to lock the limit, which is not smart enough

[0008] (3) During the use of traditional temporomandibular passive training equipment, the mouth opening is usually measured by the gear scale, which does not have an effective value that can measure the mouth opening distance, so that patients have no data collection during the training process

[0009] (4) During the use of traditional temporomandibular passive training equipment, there is no accurate bite force feedback, and only rely on medical staff to communicate with patients, and vaguely judge the size of bite force

[0010] (5) Traditional temporomandibular passive training equipment is purely used to assist in the treatment of limited openings, and cannot assist doctors in patient assessment and diagnosis and personalized treatment plans
