Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a dysphagia rehabilitation device. Background Art
[0002] Dysphagia refers to the process in which food cannot be safely and effectively transported to the stomach due to damage to the structure and / or function of organs such as the mouth, throat, and esophagus. In a broad sense, dysphagia should include swallowing and eating problems caused by abnormal behavior due to cognitive and psychological problems, that is, dysphagia in food intake. Dysphagia is a common clinical symptom, and many diseases can cause dysphagia, including central nervous system diseases, peripheral neuropathy, oral lesions, etc. According to the anatomical level at which dysphagia occurs, it is divided into oropharyngeal dysphagia and esophageal dysphagia. Patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia often cough or have airway obstruction, hoarseness or drooling when eating thin liquids. Esophageal dysphagia is defined as a decrease in the ability of food to pass through the esophagus. Some esophageal diseases such as esophageal stenosis, spasm, and achalasia affect the passage of food from the esophagus to the stomach. Damage or weakness of the esophageal sphincter can cause swallowed food to reflux into the throat. Reflux refers to the phenomenon that food or liquid returns to the nasal cavity after passing through the mouth or pharynx. In reflux, food moves back into the mouth or pharynx without any force.
[0003] The general posture to promote safe swallowing should be eating in the correct posture, with the patient sitting with the torso upright and the neck upright or with the head down. This posture can also help prevent early food spillage and the possibility of tracheal opening, and reduce the chance of nasal reflux. However, some elderly patients are currently unable to eat in the required posture during rehabilitation training, which can easily lead to food reflux.
[0004] Therefore, a dysphagia rehabilitation device that is convenient for rehabilitation and easy to operate is needed. Utility Model Content
