Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical supplies, in particular to a finger sleeve type swallowing training tool. Background Art

[0002] Clinically, there are more and more infants and young children with swallowing disorders and children with swallowing disorders and articulation organ dysfunction due to various reasons. However, the swallowing training aids on the market cannot meet the needs of rehabilitation training to some extent or are too cumbersome and require more types of tools.

[0003] Swallowing disorder is a clinical manifestation that is caused by damage to the structure or function of organs such as the mandible, lips, tongue, soft palate, pharynx and esophagus, which makes it impossible to safely and effectively deliver food from the mouth to the stomach.

[0004] Dysarthria refers to abnormalities in phonation, pronunciation, resonance, rhythm, and unclear articulation caused by organic neuromuscular lesions, which result in muscle weakness and paralysis of the vocal organs, or abnormal muscle tension and uncoordinated movements. The degree of speech impairment caused by dysarthria is consistent with the degree of neuromuscular damage. The speed, strength, range, direction, and coordination of the speech muscle group affect the clarity of speech.

[0005] In response to the problems shown by children in clinical practice, rehabilitation therapists generally perform oral sensory training and oral motor function training according to the corresponding problems; they routinely use sterile gloves to perform proprioceptive stimulation with bare hands to passively assist infants and young children in doing corresponding motor function exercises. Utility Model Content

The training tool realizes the possibility of single-finger operation training.

[0010] Furthermore, the functional area includes a smooth area, and a smooth material surface is arranged in the smooth area.

[0011] Furthermore, the functional area includes a corrugated area, and a corrugated concave-convex stripe structure is arranged in the corrugated area.

[0012] Furthermore, the functional area includes a convex point area, in which a plurality of small convex structures are arranged, and the convex structures are in the shape of dots.

[0013] Furthermore, the finger sleeve is sequentially arranged along the longitudinal direction to form a touch range, an anti-bite range and a closing range; and the functional area is arranged in the touch range.

[0014] Furthermore, a soft material is provided in the anti-bite range, and the soft material is integrally arranged along the circumferential direction of the finger sleeve.

[0015] Furthermore, a connecting piece is arranged at the periphery of the closing range, a binding rope is extended from the connecting piece, and one end of the binding rope is connected to a wrist strap.

[0016] Furthermore, the finger sleeve is adapted to the size of a thumb, index finger or middle finger of a human body.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0018] Through the setting of the swallowing training tool, comprehensive training items can be effectively realized through various functional areas on the finger sleeve, and the suction cup structure set based on the suction cup area can effectively assist the functional movement training of the tongue.

[0027] In order to make the technical solution, purpose and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] As attached Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a swallowing training tool of the utility model is used to be assembled on a single finger of a staff member, and includes a finger sleeve 1 adapted to be connected to a human finger sleeve 1, and functional areas are arranged at the outer peripheral side of the finger sleeve 1. Finger sleeves 1 with different functional areas are selected for application according to actual needs.

[0029] Alternatively, the finger sleeve 1 is provided with two or more functional areas at the outer circumference thereof, so that a single finger sleeve 1 can be adapted to different training items through each of the functional areas.

[0030] Specifically, the functional areas are preferably set to be four, including a suction cup area 11, a smooth area 12, a corrugated area 13 and a convex area 14; the suction cup area 11 is provided with a micro suction cup 111, the smooth area 12 is provided with a smooth material surface, the corrugated area 13 is provided with a corrugated concave-convex stripe 131 structure, and the convex area 14 is provided with a plurality of small protrusions 141 structures, and the protrusions 141 structures are in the shape of dots.

[0031] The finger sleeve 1 itself is made of food-grade silica gel, and the thickness of the material layer is 1 mm.

[0032] In the application of the suction cup area 11, based on the setting of the micro suction cup 111, negative pressure suction can be provided to the tongue, and the negative pressure suction can pull the tongue for passive stretching and training of various movements such as left and right and up and down. The micro suction cup 111 is set to two, and the diameter of the suction cup structure is set to 8mm. The suction cup edge of the micro suction cup 111 is rounded to prevent abrasion of the oral mucosa.

[0033] The setting of the smooth material surface is based on the smooth surface of the material layer of the finger sleeve 1 itself. The smooth material surface formed by the material of the outer periphery of the finger sleeve 1 can make the operator feel the muscle contraction of the child well.

[0034] The different regional distribution of the corrugated concave-convex stripe 131 structure and the multiple protrusions 141 structure can provide different sensory stimulations in the oral cavity of infants and young children. During its application, it is only necessary to rotate the finger sleeve 1. The concave-convex stripe 131 structure is a continuous corrugated structure composed of multiple semicircular arc-shaped protruding stripes 131 with a diameter of 0.5 mm. The dot protrusions 141 in the protrusion 141 structure have a diameter of 0.6 mm and a height of 1 mm; the gap between each dot is 0.5 mm.

[0035] The above-mentioned functional areas are preferably arranged to occupy 1 / 4 of the outer circumference of the finger sleeve 1 .

[0036] In order to avoid being bitten during the operation of the swallowing training tool, as a preferred embodiment, the finger sleeve 1 is sequentially arranged along the longitudinal direction to form a touch range 2, an anti-bite range 3 and a closing range 4; the functional area is arranged in the touch range 2.

[0037] A soft material is provided in the anti-bite range 3, and the soft material is arranged as a whole along the circumferential direction of the finger sleeve 1, so that the outer diameter of the anti-bite range 3 is overall raised 141 relative to the finger sleeve 1, which plays a buffering role when being bitten. The anti-bite range 3 is made of thickened silicone material, and its thickness is set to 5mm.

[0038] A 3mm thick anti-skid silicone strip is arranged on the periphery of the closing range 4 to play an anti-skid and tightening role, so that the finger sleeve 1 can be stably sleeved on the operator's finger; based on actual usage, the finger sleeve 1 is adapted to the size setting of the thumb, index finger or middle finger of the human body.

[0039] In order to prevent the finger cuff 1 from falling off and falling into the patient's mouth, a connecting piece 5 is arranged on the periphery of the closing range 4, and a binding rope 6 is extended from the connecting piece 5, and one end of the binding rope 6 is connected to a wrist strap 7; the operator binds the swallowing training tool to his wrist with the wrist strap 7, which effectively prevents the finger cuff 1 from falling off.

[0040] The above is only a preferred implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can still modify the embodiments without departing from the implementation principle of the present invention, and the corresponding modifications should also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
