Body posture adjusting wheelchair used for dysphagia ingestion training

Abstract

The invention relates to a body posture adjusting wheelchair used for dysphagia ingestion training. The body posture adjusting wheelchair comprises a wheelchair frame, a headrest mechanism, a backrest mechanism, a seat mechanism and a foot support mechanism, wherein the headrest mechanism comprises a headrest, an upper bracket, a lower bracket and two clamp plates; the backrest mechanism comprises a backrest frame, safety protection boards on the left and right sides and a backrest inclined air cylinder; the seat mechanism comprises a seat cushion frame and a seat cushion rotation air cylinder; the foot support mechanism comprises a foot support frame, a pedal, left and right leg baffles and a foot support lifting air cylinder. With the body posture adjusting wheelchair, patients can be subjected to multi-part (head flexion and extension rotation, back lateral pitching composite posture and leg inclining posture) and multi-angle body posture adjustment on the wheelchair, so that the patients can adopt the different ingestion postures according to the dysphagia degree in the ingestion training process, then different body postures are adopted, and thus the patients can safely and effectively eat food.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a rehabilitation training device, in particular to a posture adjustment wheelchair for swallowing disorder feeding training. Background technique [0002] Dysphagia Difficulty eating due to impaired function of the jaw, lips, tongue, soft palate, throat, esophageal sphincter, or esophagus that cannot safely and efficiently move food from the mouth to the stomach for adequate nutrition and hydration. Swallowing disorders can easily lead to aspiration, leading to serious consequences such as aspiration pneumonia, suffocation, and malnutrition. At present, there is no specific drug treatment for dysphagia, and rehabilitation training has become the main means of treatment. Therefore, for patients with dysphagia, early basic food intake training can help patients improve their swallowing function and improve their quality of life. [0003] Head posture and body position are particularly critical for safe swallowing during feeding...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] For the position adjustment in feeding training, there is no similar auxiliary device in China. Most of the patient's position adjustment is carried out on the angle-adjustable bed by the patient and the therapist. Generally speaking, there are still the following defects: 1. It is difficult to maintain hygiene when eating in bed, using towels and cushions, low reproducibility, and difficult to quantify body position adjustment; 2. It is difficult to evaluate the position adjustment; 3. Unstable posture, patients are also fatigued and their appetite decreases
