Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical appliances, in particular to an eating assistance appliance for patients with dysphagia. Background Art

[0002] Dysphagia is a common symptom, especially prevalent among the elderly, stroke patients, cancer patients, and those with neurological diseases. It may affect the swallowing process in the oral preparatory stage, oral propulsion stage, pharyngeal or esophageal stage, leading to problems such as dehydration, weight loss, aspiration pneumonia, and airway obstruction in patients. Especially in patients with post-stroke dysphagia (PSD), this condition not only reduces the patient's quality of life but also affects the rehabilitation process and even increases the patient's mortality rate. Patients with dysphagia do need to control the temperature of food when eating. First of all, patients with dysphagia may have impaired swallowing function, which makes them face a greater risk of choking when ingesting liquid or semi-solid food. The food needs to be crushed before swallowing, and appropriately adjusting the temperature of the food can help these patients swallow more safely and effectively. Content of the Utility Model
