[0050] The technical effect of the above technical solution is that it highlights the technical feature of the slow expansion force generated by viscous liquid acting on the larynx during the rehabilitation process of patients with swallowing dysfunction, and introduces its application in the technical field of rehabilitation treatment methods for patients with swallowing dysfunction.

[0051] This invention comprises the following steps: When the screw rotates in the threaded holes of the upper and lower rods respectively, the seat moves in the receiving groove I, thereby adjusting the position of the seat on the beam. The positions of the upper and lower adjusting seats on the vertical beam are adjusted respectively. When rehabilitation treatment is needed for a patient with swallowing dysfunction, the patient's hand grasps the internal rod, the patient's neck is placed in the frame I and frame II, and the patient's neck contacts the receiving groove III. By adjusting the position of the upper adjusting seat on the vertical beam, the height of the blocking block is adjusted so that the lower end face of the block's horizontal part is located above the patient's larynx. Adjust the position of the adjusting seat on the upright beam so that the upper end face of the pouch contacts the larynx of the patient with swallowing dysfunction, thereby placing the patient's larynx between the pouch and the block. Place the patch on the laryngeal muscles and frame I. Place the inner end face of the horizontal part of the pressure plate and the middle of the vertical part of the pressure plate on the outer end face of the patch. Place the lower side of the inner end face of the vertical part of the pressure plate into the receiving groove IV. Place the intermediate bolt located between the pressure plate and the swing frame into the through hole of the pressure plate, allowing the inner end of the intermediate bolt between the pressure plate and the swing frame to rotate in the receiving hole II. This causes the flange of the intermediate bolt between the pressure plate and the swing frame to act on the outer end face of the horizontal part of the pressure plate, thereby installing the patch between the swing frame and the support frame. Position the valve on tube I in the correct position. In the open state, the valve on pipe section II is closed, the fluid pump on pipe section I is activated, and the fluid pump on pipe section II is deactivated. The fluid pump on pipe section I injects the delivery medium into the bladder, causing the bladder to inflate and lift the patient's larynx. The lifted larynx contacts the bladder, causing the horizontal section of frame section I to swing within the receiving tank II on the upper adjusting seat. A damping force is generated at the outer end of the horizontal section of frame section I through a shock absorber, thus achieving laryngeal elevation training for the patient. After completing the laryngeal elevation training, the valve on pipe section I is closed. In the closed state, the valve on tube section II is opened, the fluid pump on tube section I is deactivated, and the fluid pump on tube section II is activated. The fluid pump on tube section II draws the delivery medium from the bladder, causing the bladder to shrink and restoring the patient's larynx to its initial state, thus completing one round of laryngeal rehabilitation treatment for the patient with swallowing dysfunction. The patch massages and stimulates the throat muscles of the patient with swallowing dysfunction. After completing the rehabilitation treatment, the fluid pump is deactivated, the patient's hands are separated from the internal rod, and the patient's neck is separated from frame sections I and II.

[0052] The technical effect of the above solution is that it enables the rehabilitation of patients with swallowing dysfunction by stimulating the larynx with liquid expansion force.

[0053] In this technical solution, the liquid bladder, support frame, upright beam, and fluid pump are basic components and essential technical features of the invention. The upper adjustment seat, lower adjustment seat, stop block, swing frame, shock absorber, valve, housing, patch, and pressure plate are functional components that enable other technical effects of the invention. The design of the beam, upper rod, lower rod, built-in rod, receiving tank I, seat, screw, plate, receiving tank II, block, receiving tank III, receiving hole I, frame I, receiving hole II, receiving hole III, receiving hole IV, frame II, support rod, mounting window, receiving tank IV, bladder, tube I, and tube II are technical features that comply with the Patent Law and its implementing regulations.

[0054] In this technical solution, the slow expansion force generated by the viscous liquid on the larynx during the rehabilitation process of patients with swallowing dysfunction is achieved by a liquid sac and a fluid pump.

[0055] In this technical solution, the key technical features are the liquid sac, support frame, upright beam, and fluid pump that exert a slow expansion force on the larynx through the viscous liquid during the rehabilitation process of patients with swallowing dysfunction.

[0103] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments. These embodiments are intended to illustrate the present invention and not to further limit the present invention.

[0104] A rehabilitation treatment method for patients with swallowing dysfunction includes the following steps: when the screw portion 22 rotates in the threaded holes of the upper rod portion 12 and the lower rod portion 13 respectively, the seat portion 21 moves in the receiving groove I 15, thereby adjusting the position of the seat portion 21 on the beam portion 11, and adjusting the positions of the upper adjusting seat 2 and the lower adjusting seat 3 on the vertical beam 1 respectively. When rehabilitation treatment is needed for patients with swallowing dysfunction, the patient's hands are positioned to hold the internal rod 14, and the patient's neck is placed in the frame I 51 and frame II 71, with the patient's neck in contact with the receiving trough III 42. By adjusting the position of the upper adjusting seat 2 on the upright beam 1, the height of the abutment block 4 is adjusted so that the lower end face of the horizontal part of the block 41 is located above the patient's larynx. By adjusting the position of the lower adjusting seat 3 on the upright beam 1, the upper end face of the pouch 81 is brought into contact with the patient's larynx, thus placing the patient's larynx between the pouch 81 and the block 41. Place patch 93 onto the throat muscle and frame I 51. Place the inner end face of the horizontal part of pressure plate 94 and the middle of the vertical part of pressure plate 94 onto the outer end face of patch 93. Place the lower side of the inner end face of the vertical part of pressure plate 94 into receiving groove IV 74. Place the intermediate bolt located between pressure plate 94 and swing frame 5 into the through hole of pressure plate 94. Rotate the inner end of the intermediate bolt between pressure plate 94 and swing frame 5 in receiving hole II 52. The flange of the intermediate bolt between pressure plate 94 and swing frame 5 acts on the outer end face of the horizontal part of pressure plate 94, thereby installing patch 93 between swing frame 5 and support frame 7. The valve 9 on pipe section I 82 is opened, and the valve 9 on pipe section II 83 is closed. The fluid pump 91 on pipe section I 82 is activated, and the fluid pump 91 on pipe section II 83 is deactivated. The fluid pump 91 on pipe section I 82 injects the delivery medium into the bladder section 81, causing the bladder section 81 to expand and lift the larynx of the patient with swallowing dysfunction. The lifted larynx contacts the block section 41, causing the horizontal section of frame section I 51 to swing within the receiving groove II 23 on the upper adjusting seat 2. The shock absorber 6 generates a damping force on the outer end of the horizontal section of frame section I 51, thereby achieving the function of supporting swallowing function. The patient with swallowing dysfunction undergoes laryngeal elevation training. After completing the training, valve 9 on tube I 82 is closed, valve 9 on tube II 83 is opened, fluid pump 91 on tube I 82 is deactivated, and fluid pump 91 on tube II 83 is activated. The fluid medium delivered by fluid pump 91 on tube II 83 is drawn from sac 81, causing sac 81 to shrink and restoring the patient's larynx to its initial state. This completes one round of laryngeal rehabilitation treatment for the patient with swallowing dysfunction. The patch 93 massages and stimulates the throat muscles of the patient with swallowing dysfunction. After completing the rehabilitation treatment for the patient with dysphagia, the fluid pump 91 is deactivated, the patient's hands are separated from the built-in rod 14, and the patient's neck is separated from the frame I 51 and frame II 71.

[0105] One hundred patients with swallowing dysfunction were selected as clinical trial cases in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Ruijin Hospital, affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. The device of this invention was used for rehabilitation treatment. After one month of continuous rehabilitation treatment, the swallowing function of 96 patients was significantly improved, with an effectiveness rate of over 95%.

[0106] In verifying this invention, the inventors abandoned the existing technical features that rely on doctors' hands to elevate the patient's throat. Instead, they proposed a technique that utilizes the slow expansion force generated by a viscous liquid during the rehabilitation process of patients with swallowing dysfunction to act on the throat. This resulted in the first unexpected technical effect: generating an active force on the throat of patients with swallowing dysfunction, keeping the throat in an active rehabilitation state and improving the rehabilitation effect. The second unexpected technical effect: driving the patient's throat into an elevated state via the upright beam 1, support frame 7, liquid bladder 8, and fluid pump 91 ensured the consistency of the throat's elevated state and improved the intensity of the rehabilitation activity. The third unexpected technical effect: connecting the valve 9 and housing 92 with the fluid pump 91 and liquid bladder 8 allowed the liquid bladder 8 to be in a cyclical state of expansion and contraction, increasing the frequency of throat elevation movements in patients with swallowing dysfunction. The fourth unexpected technical effect: achieving the effect of adjusting the upper seat... 2. The damping block 4, the swing frame 5, and the shock absorber 6 buffer the upward movement of the larynx in patients with swallowing dysfunction, improving the accuracy of the upward movement and preventing injury to the larynx caused by the upward movement. This results in the fifth unexpected technical effect: It enables massage stimulation of the throat muscles in patients with swallowing dysfunction through the patch 93 and the pressure plate 94, effectively improving the rehabilitation of these patients. This results in the sixth unexpected technical effect: It enables the expansion force generated by the viscous liquid on the sac 81, allowing for... The magnetic ball provides magnetic stimulation to the neck of patients with dysphagia, generating a gentle lifting force on their larynx. This resulted in a seventh unexpected technical effect: the magnetorheological damper generates a damping force on the choking block 4, which adapts to stopping the slow upward movement of the larynx in patients with dysphagia. This resulted in an eighth unexpected technical effect: it eliminates the need for doctors to manually lift the patient's larynx, and provides a rehabilitation treatment device for patients with dysphagia as a rehabilitation sample, providing a dataset for research on the larynx of patients with dysphagia.

[0107] In a second embodiment of the present invention, the liquid bag 8, support frame 7, upright beam 1 and fluid pump 91 are interconnected in such a way that the slow expansion force generated by the viscous liquid acts on the larynx during the rehabilitation process of a patient with swallowing dysfunction.

[0108] In this embodiment, the liquid bag 8 is connected to the support frame 7, the upright beam 1, and the fluid pump 91 in a manner that generates an external interference force on the larynx of a patient with swallowing dysfunction.

[0112] In this embodiment, a third accessory device is also included, and the third accessory device is configured to include a patch 93 and a pressing plate 94.

[0113] The second embodiment of the present invention is based on the first embodiment. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the steps are as follows: the support frame 7 and the upright beam 1 provide upper end support for the liquid bladder 8; the fluid pump 91 injects the expansion medium liquid into the liquid bladder 8; the liquid bladder 8 generates an external interference force on the larynx of the patient with swallowing dysfunction; and the slow expansion force generated by the viscous liquid during the rehabilitation process of the patient with swallowing dysfunction is applied to the larynx.

[0114] The second embodiment of the present invention is based on the first embodiment.

[0115] This invention has the following characteristics: 1. By designing a liquid bladder 8, a support frame 7, a vertical beam 1, and a fluid pump 91, the upper end of the liquid bladder 8 is supported by the support frame 7 and the vertical beam 1. The fluid pump 91 injects an expansion medium liquid into the liquid bladder 8. Through the liquid bladder 8, an external interference force is generated on the larynx of patients with swallowing dysfunction. This achieves the effect of slow expansion force generated by the viscous liquid on the larynx during the rehabilitation process of patients with swallowing dysfunction, solving the technical problem of lifting the patient's larynx by the doctor's hand. Therefore, it improves the rehabilitation treatment effect of patients with swallowing dysfunction.

[0119] 5. Due to the design of patch 93 and pressure plate 94, it is possible to massage and stimulate the throat muscles of patients with swallowing dysfunction.

The expansion medium liquid is injected into the liquid sac (8) by the fluid pump (91). The liquid sac (8) generates an external interference force on the larynx of the patient with dysphagia. The slow expansion force generated by the viscous liquid is applied to the larynx during the rehabilitation process of the patient with dysphagia.

10. The rehabilitation treatment method for patients with swallowing dysfunction according to claim 1, characterized in that: the steps are: When the screw part (22) rotates in the threaded hole of the upper rod part (12) and the threaded hole of the lower rod part (13), the seat part (21) moves in the receiving groove I (15), thereby adjusting the position of the seat part (21) on the beam part (11). The positions of the upper adjusting seat (2) and the lower adjusting seat (3) on the upright beam (1) are adjusted respectively. When rehabilitation treatment is needed for patients with swallowing dysfunction, the patient's hands hold the built-in rod part (14), the patient's neck is placed in the frame part I (51) and the frame part II (71), and the patient's neck contacts the receiving groove III (42). The position of the upper adjusting seat (2) on the upright beam (1) is adjusted. Position adjustment: Adjust the height of the blocking block (4) so ​​that the lower end face of the horizontal part of the block (41) is located on the upper side of the larynx of the patient with swallowing dysfunction. Adjust the position of the lower adjustment seat (3) on the upright beam (1) so that the upper end face of the pouch (81) contacts the larynx of the patient with swallowing dysfunction. Place the larynx of the patient with swallowing dysfunction between the pouch (81) and the block (41). Place the patch (93) on the throat muscles and the frame I (51). Place the inner end face of the horizontal part of the pressure plate (94) and the middle of the vertical part of the pressure plate (94) on the outer end face of the patch (93).

Place it into the through hole of the pressure plate (94), and rotate the inner end of the intermediate bolt between the pressure plate (94) and the swing frame (5) in the receiving hole II (52). This causes the flange of the intermediate bolt between the pressure plate (94) and the swing frame (5) to act on the outer end face of the transverse part of the pressure plate (94), thereby installing the patch (93) between the swing frame (5) and the support frame (7). This puts the valve (9) on pipe I (82) in the open state and the valve (9) on pipe II (83) in the closed state. This puts the fluid pump (91) on pipe I (82) in the working state and the fluid pump (91) on pipe II (83) in the non-working state. (91) The fluid pump (91) injects the delivery medium into the bladder (81), causing the bladder (81) to expand and lift the larynx of the patient with dysphagia. The lifted larynx of the patient with dysphagia contacts the block (41), causing the horizontal part of the frame I (51) to swing in the receiving tank II (23) located on the upper adjustment seat (2). The damper (6) generates a damping force on the outer end of the horizontal part of the frame I (51), thereby achieving the lifting training of the larynx of the patient with dysphagia. After the lifting training of the larynx of the patient with dysphagia is completed, the valve (9) located on the tube I (82) is closed, and the valve (9) located on the tube II (83) is open.The fluid pump (91) located on tube I (82) is deactivated, while the fluid pump (91) located on tube II (83) is activated. The fluid medium delivered by the fluid pump (91) on tube II (83) is drawn out of the bladder (81), causing the bladder (81) to shrink, thus restoring the patient's larynx to its initial state. This completes one round of laryngeal rehabilitation treatment for the patient with dysphagia. The throat muscles of the patient with dysphagia are massaged and stimulated using the patch (93). After completing the rehabilitation treatment, the fluid pump (91) is deactivated, the patient's hands are separated from the internal rod (14), and the patient's neck is separated from frame I (51) and frame II (71).
