Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of food viscosity measurement, in particular to a spoon for measuring the viscosity of fluid food. Background Art

[0002] Dysphagia refers to difficulty swallowing caused by various reasons and occurring in different parts of the body. Dysphagia can affect food intake and nutrient absorption, and can also cause aspiration pneumonia caused by accidental inhalation of food into the trachea, which can be life-threatening in severe cases. Rehabilitation training is a necessary measure to improve dysphagia. It ensures the safety of dysphagic patients by feeding them foods with a viscosity that matches theirs, and at the same time provides swallowing training for them.

[0003] According to the properties of food, food is divided into two categories: liquid and solid. Solid food is easy to judge. For liquid food, it can be divided into three categories: low viscosity, medium viscosity and high viscosity. Some patients cannot recover to completely eat all kinds of food with daily properties through their mouths. For each patient with swallowing disorder, it is necessary to carry out feeding training with food with a viscosity that is suitable for them. Finally, three meals need to be made into a specific viscosity that is selected for safe consumption. At this time, it is difficult to judge which level of viscosity the liquid food belongs to.

[0004] The devices on the market that are specifically used to test viscosity are generally used in industrial production, and the purpose of the test is different. They are not practical for measuring the viscosity of food and are not convenient for daily use. Utility Model Content
