Evaluation and rehabilitation device and evaluation and training method for tongue muscle and mouth and face muscle

Abstract

The invention aims to disclose an evaluation and rehabilitation device and an evaluation and training method for tongue muscles and oral facial muscles. The evaluation and rehabilitation device comprises a flexible surface electromyographic electrode, a control module, a wireless transmitting module and an inertial sensor, the flexible surface electromyographic electrode is electrically connected with the control module, the inertial sensor is electrically connected with the control module, and the wireless transmitting module sends surface electromyographic signals and inertial sensor signals collected by the control module to the display module. In use, the flexible surface myoelectricity electrode is attached to the face muscle or the tongue muscle like a sheet-shaped material, the real-time three-dimensional space position of the face muscle or the tongue muscle can be sensed while the muscle force of the face muscle or the tongue muscle is sensed, the evaluation basis of the face muscle or the tongue muscle can be provided for a doctor, and the accuracy of the face muscle or the tongue muscle can be improved. And the muscle activity range can be evaluated through the change information of the three-dimensional space.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of rehabilitation medical devices, in particular to an evaluation and rehabilitation device, evaluation and training method for tongue and orofacial muscles. Background technique [0002] Stroke patients or patients with other diseases may experience apraxia of the tongue or orofacial muscles or normal activities, which will seriously affect daily life and quality of life. At present, EMG electrodes are usually used to detect the muscle contraction of the orofacial muscles to evaluate the degree of disuse; however, because the EMG electrodes are too large in size and weight, and because the EMG electrodes cannot be fixed on the surface of the tongue, it cannot be detected. The degree of apraxia of the tongue muscle; for the orofacial muscle, the existing EMG electrodes are large in size and weight, and are not easy to fix. When the patient stands normally, the electrodes are easy to fall off, and the electro...

[0002] Stroke patients or patients with other diseases may experience loss of use of tongue muscles or orofacial muscles or inability to move normally, seriously affecting daily life and quality of life

Nowadays, EMG electrodes are usually used to detect the muscle contraction of the orofacial muscles to assess the degree of uselessness; however, due to the large size and weight of the EMG electrodes, and because the EMG electrodes cannot be fixed to the surface of the tongue, it is impossible to detect The degree of tongue muscle ause; for the orofacial muscles, the existing electromyographic electrodes are large in size and weight, and are not easy to fix. When the patient stands normally, first, the electrodes are easy to fall off, and second, because the electrodes are metal electrodes, it is easy to Affected by the patient's sweat, resulting in inaccurate EMG signals
