Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of rehabilitation training devices, in particular to a visualized simple tongue pressure measurement and rehabilitation training device. Background Art

[0002] Swallowing disorders can be seen in many diseases such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, myasthenia gravis, and glossopharyngeal cancer after radiotherapy. It can lead to various complications such as lung infection, malnutrition, and dehydration. Patients with swallowing disorders are often accompanied by decreased tongue muscle strength, which can be manifested as insufficient tongue muscle pushing ability, stirring ability, and food bolus retention ability, which seriously affects the patient's eating, drinking, and speech functions. In view of the above situation, the rehabilitation method often used in clinical practice is to use a "tongue suction device" to perform tongue muscle resistance training or ice stimulation training, etc., but the above training is passive training of the tongue muscles and is inconsistent with the movement of the tongue muscles during swallowing. Therefore, in order to further clarify the strength of the tongue muscles and more effectively mobilize the enthusiasm of patients for independent training, a tongue pressure measurement and training device came into being. This device puts an air bag connected to a pressure measuring device into the mouth. The tongue movement compresses the air bag to measure the patient's tongue pressure, and guides the patient to perform tongue muscle resistance training through the change in tongue pressure. At present, there is also a tongue pressure acquisition device with a pressure sensor chip, which can measure tongue pressure more accurately, but the above device can only measure the positive pressure value formed by the tongue lifting, and cannot measure the negative pressure value formed by the tongue descending. Moreover, the cost of each set is as high as hundreds of thousands, and the operation is complicated and requires professional medical staff to guide and judge. It is currently mostly used in clinical experiments, which is not conducive to large-scale application in clinical practice and patients' daily self-practice. In view of this situation, the utility model patent aims to manufacture a tongue pressure measurement and training device that is low-cost, easy to operate, accurate and visual, and to provide more convenient and practical rehabilitation training equipment for patients with swallowing disorders and tongue movement disorders.

Therefore, the following specific implementation modes and drawings are only exemplary descriptions of the technical solution of the utility model, and should not be regarded as the entirety of the utility model or as a limitation or restriction to the technical solution of the utility model.

[0024] Example:

[0025] like Figure 1-3As shown, the right side of the tongue pressure positive pressure airbag 1 is connected to a first connecting tube 2, and the first connecting tube 2 can be detachably mounted on the first suction connector 3. The tongue pressure positive pressure airbag 1, the first connecting tube 2, and the first suction connector 3 are an integrated structure.

[0026] The other side of the first suction joint 3 is detachably mounted on the second connecting tube 4, and the second connecting tube 4 and the tongue pressure measuring tube 5 are an integrated pipe. The first suction joint 3 and the second suction joint 13 can also be understood as a straight-through pipe. The right side of the second connecting tube 4 is connected to the left side of the tongue pressure measuring tube 5, and the tongue pressure measuring tube 5 is a tube body with an opening on the right side. The tongue pressure measuring tube 5 is sealed and slidably connected to the airtight piston plate 6 on the left and right, and the right side of the airtight piston plate 6 is fixedly connected to an elastic member 7. A baffle 10 is provided on the right side of the tongue pressure measuring tube 5, and a round sleeve 9 is fixedly connected to the left side of the baffle 10, and the outer wall of the round sleeve 9 is in the shape of an external thread. An internal thread 8 is provided on the right inner wall of the tongue pressure measuring tube 5, and the round sleeve 9 is threadedly connected to the internal thread 8. The round sleeve 9 and the internal thread 8 cooperate so that the baffle 10 and the round sleeve 9 seal and block the opening of the tongue pressure measuring tube 5.

[0027] The elastic member 7 is fixedly connected to or mutually pressed with the left side of the baffle 10. The elastic member 7 is placed in the circular sleeve 9.

[0028] The baffle 10 is provided with an air outlet 11 connected to the tongue pressure measuring tube 5, and the right side of the baffle 10 is connected to a third connecting tube 12. The circular sleeve 9, the baffle 10, the air outlet 11 and the third connecting tube 12 are integrated pipe fittings.

[0029] The third connecting pipe 12 is detachably mounted on the second suction joint 13, the right side of the second suction joint 13 is connected with the fourth connecting pipe 14, the end of the fourth connecting pipe 14 away from the second suction joint 13 is connected with the tongue pressure negative pressure suction pipe 15, and the side of the tongue pressure negative pressure suction pipe 15 away from the fourth connecting pipe 14 is installed with a hollow net 16. The second suction joint 13, the fourth connecting pipe 14, and the tongue pressure negative pressure suction pipe 15 are an integrated structure.

[0030] The tongue pressure positive pressure balloon 1 is a soft balloon with a volume of 5 ml. Its outer wall is easy to be squeezed and deformed and has a certain toughness. When not squeezed by external force, the outer wall can be kept from collapsing.

[0031] The tongue pressure negative pressure suction tube 15 is a hose with a second suction joint 13. The suction head of the tongue pressure negative pressure suction tube 15 is provided with a supporting hollow net 16 to prevent the pipe opening from adhering to the mucosa during suction.

[0032] The tongue pressure measuring tube 5 is a group of cylindrical pipes whose bottom can be screwed and disassembled. Any one of the three colors of red, yellow and blue airtight piston plates 6 is installed inside the tongue pressure measuring tube 5, which is close to the inner wall of the pipe. A compressible elastic part 7 consistent with the inner diameter of the pipe is connected below the airtight piston plate 6. The red airtight piston plate 6 has a spring with the largest elastic force, the yellow airtight piston plate 6 has a spring with moderate elastic force, and the blue airtight piston plate 6 has a spring with the smallest elastic force. The elastic part 7 and the airtight piston plate 6 inside the tongue pressure measuring tube 5 can be replaced and cleaned through the detachable interface at the bottom of the tongue pressure measuring tube 5. The two ends of the tongue pressure measuring tube 5 are connected to the tongue pressure positive pressure airbag 1 and the tongue pressure negative pressure straw 15. The outer wall of the tongue pressure measuring tube 5 is marked with red, yellow and blue fonts that are consistent with the color of the airtight piston plate 6, which correspond to the gas pressure values ​​Kpa measured by different elastic parts 7 respectively.

[0033] When using the tongue pressure positive pressure measurement function, connect the interface of the tongue pressure positive pressure airbag 1 to the upper end interface of the tongue pressure measurement tube 5, and then place the tongue pressure positive pressure airbag 1 on the tongue surface of the subject, and ask the subject to close his lips and push the tongue upward to compress the tongue pressure positive pressure airbag 1. The pressure in the tongue pressure positive pressure airbag 1 pushes the airtight piston plate 6 to shorten the elastic part 7. The pressure value corresponding to the position where the airtight piston plate 6 finally stops sliding is the measured tongue pressure value. Similarly, when using the tongue pressure negative pressure measurement function, connect the interface of the tongue pressure negative pressure straw 15 to the lower end interface of the pipe, and then place the head of the tongue pressure negative pressure straw 15 on the tongue surface of the subject, and ask the subject to close his lips and move the tongue downward to generate negative pressure in the oral cavity. The negative pressure produces a suction effect on the airtight piston plate 6 to compress the elastic part 7 to shorten. The pressure value marked by the position where the airtight piston plate 6 finally stops sliding is the measured negative pressure value. The above two function settings can simultaneously realize the measurement of the positive pressure and negative pressure generated by the patient's tongue movement.

[0034] The process of repeating the above-mentioned tongue pressure measurement is the process of tongue muscle resistance training. During this period, the patient can judge the training effect in real time through the changes in the tongue pressure value fed back by the airtight piston plate 6. This training process is completely consistent with the tongue movement pattern during normal swallowing, and can visually and accurately evaluate the training results, fully mobilize the patient's enthusiasm and interest in independent training, and is conducive to the early rehabilitation of patients with dysphagia.

[0035] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents described above. Those skilled in the art can make various deformations and modifications to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of the present invention, and these deformations and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
