Therapeutic apparatus for improving oral expression skills of Parkinson's disease patient

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of medical instruments, and discloses a therapeutic apparatus for improving oral expression skills of a Parkinson's disease patient. The therapeutic apparatus comprises a mask module and a host; the mask module comprises a mouth periphery part, side wings, a fixing belt, a lip lifting electrode sheet area, a lip lowering electrode sheet area and mouth corner moving devices. The two side wings are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the mouth periphery part; two ends of the fixing belt are respectively connected with the two side wings; the lip lifting electrode sheet area and the lip lowering electrode sheet area are respectively arranged at the upper end and the lower end of the mouth periphery part and are electrically connected with the host; and the mouth corner moving devices electrically connected with the host are arranged on the two side wings and used for closing the mouth and making mouth corners move towards the two sides. According to the therapeutic apparatus for improving the oral expression skills of the Parkinson's disease patient provided by the invention, through accurate control of low-frequency electrical stimulation and adjustment of the vibration frequency and duration, the oral muscles of the patient are contracted and relaxed; the oral feeling of the patient is improved; and the purposes of relieving muscle stiffness and increasing or improving the oral expression skills are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to a therapeutic instrument for improving the oral expression skills of Parkinson's disease patients. Background technique [0002] Parkinson's disease is a common degenerative disease of the central nervous system in middle-aged and elderly people. Its motor symptoms are manifested as involuntary tremors of the limbs at rest, muscle rigidity, slow movement, and postural balance disorders, etc., especially in terms of pronunciation and speech expression disorders, manifested as low volume, single tone, clumsy tongue, masked face, etc. . Orofacial and facial muscle tension is one of the important factors affecting the oral expression ability of patients with Parkinson's disease. Alleviating orofacial and facial muscle tension and improving voice are new rehabilitation therapies for Parkinson's disease language barriers. Currently, there is no treatment for Parkinson's di...

Orofacial and facial muscle tension is one of the important factors affecting the oral expression ability of patients with Parkinson's disease. Alleviating orofacial and facial muscle tension and improving voice are new rehabilitation therapies for Parkinson's disease language barriers. Currently, there is no treatment for Parkinson's disease. A therapeutic device for oral expression skills of patients, for this reason it is particularly important to develop a therapeutic device that relieves muscle stiffness and improves oral expression skills
