ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an oral lip and chin muscle rehabilitating device, and more particularly to a rehabilitating device which is able to stretch and train the muscle around the mouth of a user. The oral lip and chin muscle rehabilitating device is applicable to those patients suffering disturbance in chewing, swallowing and speaking caused by injury or stroke. The oral lip and chin muscle rehabilitating device is able to recover the normal functions of the muscle of oral cavity, lips and chins.
A cerebral disease patient often suffers monoplegia. Such patient will unconsciously drivel, drop food during chewing, swallow hard and speak unclearly. Therefore, such patient must be treated by rehabilitation of the muscle around the oral cavity. However, there has been no suitable auxiliary rehabilitation implement long since so that the muscle around the oral cavity can be hardly effectively rehabilitated.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide oral lip and chin muscle rehabilitating device for rehabilitating the muscle around the oral cavity. The device includes an upper lip rest section, a lower lip rest section and a resilient connecting section connected therebetween. The resilient force of the connecting section is able to properly increase the load on the muscle of the lips and chins so as to easily effectively rehabilitate the muscle around the oral cavity.
The present invention can be best understood through the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:
