Wireless intelligent dysphagia therapeutic apparatus

Abstract

A wireless intelligent dysphagia therapeutic apparatus is disclosed and comprises a tongue pressing handle, wherein the tongue pressing handle comprises a control handle, a sensor assembly and an air bag assembly; one end of the control handle is provided with a flexible tongue pressing head; the sensor assembly and the air bag assembly are assembled together and then embedded into the flexible tongue pressing head; the sensor assembly comprises a PCB and a sensor, the sensor is installed on the PCB; the air bag assembly comprises a connecting plate and an air bag; the connecting plate is connected with the PCB; the opening end of the air bag is connected with the connecting plate in a sealed mode; the air bag, the connecting plate and the PCB are connected together to form a sealed detection cavity; the detection end of the sensor is located in the detection cavity; and inert gas is injected into the detection cavity. The pressure change in the detection cavity can be collected in real time, so that the value of the tongue muscle pressure can be accurately detected, and a reliable basis is provided for subsequent treatment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to medical equipment technology, in particular to a wireless intelligent treatment instrument for dysphagia. Background technique [0002] Tongue pressure refers to the pressure generated by the contact of the tongue with the hard palate and is critical for the transport of food. Tongue muscle pressure will be adjusted according to changes in food size and properties, age, gender, and eating posture. At present, in the treatment of tongue pressure swallowing disorder, there is a traditional balloon dilatation therapy, and the other is the use of auxiliary equipment. The Iowa Oral Behavior Instrument (IOPI), which is widely used in the United States, is also the most representative product. Invented a hand-held tongue pressure measuring instrument by Hayashi et al., the balloon connected to the end of the syringe transmits the pressure to the pressure sensor through the airflow. [0003] With the development of the medical field,...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] With the development of the medical field, the measurement and evaluation of tongue muscle pressure provides an important safety reference index for the treatment of dysphagia. Traditional balloon dilatation therapy requires nasal or laryngeal intubation with a balloon catheter, which has great advantages in treatment and operation. Due to certain limitations, it is easy to cause more complications and the patient’s treatment experience is not good; the hand-held tongue pressure measuring instrument invented by JMS can only do single-site training at a time, focusing on the maximum isometric contraction force of the tongue muscle, the target Strength and endurance training that does not reflect temporal changes in tongue pressure during swallowing

At the same time, JMS products are prone to pressure leakage, resulting in errors in data measurement or zero point drift

And the detection precision of its existing therapeutic instrument is poor at present
