Der Gegenstand der Erfindung ist auch geeignet zur Prophylaxe von Hypotonien der obgenannten Muskelgruppen sowie diverser Erkrankungen im Hals-, Nasen- Ohren-Bereich, des Atemapparates sowie des Halte- und Stützapparates.The object of the invention is also suitable for Prophylaxis of hypotension of the above muscle groups as well various diseases in the ear, nose and throat area, des Respiratory system and the holding and supporting apparatus.

Es ist bekannt, daß funktionelle oder organische Sprach-, Sprech- und/oder Stimmstörungen von Kindern und Erwachsenen, sowie Tonusdysregulationen bei Kindern und Erwachsenen betreffend die Muskulatur im orofacialen Bereich, im Atemapparat sowie im Halte- und Stützapparat des gesamten Körpers sowohl mit Hilfe von verhaltenstherapeutischen Massnahmen als auch mit apparativen Hilfsmitteln mindestens teilweise behoben, bez. der Status quo verbessert werden können.It is known that functional or organic language, Speech and / or voice disorders in children and adults, as well as tone dysregulation in children and adults the muscles in the orofacial area, in the respiratory system as well as in the holding and supporting apparatus of the whole body both with the help of behavioral therapy measures at least partially remedied with apparatus aids, bez. the status quo can be improved.

Bei der Entwicklung von neuen apparativen Hilfsmitteln für die Logopädie wurde nun überraschend festgestellt, dass sich aufblasbare Gummiballone mit unterschiedlicher Materialstärke und verschiedenen Ventilmundstücken ausserordentlich gut als medizinisch-therapeutische Hilfsmittel zur Therapie der Muskelgruppen im orofacialen Bereich, des Atemapparates sowie des Halte- und Stützapparates im gesamten Körper eignen. Es wurde daher ein neuartiges Hilfsmittel bestehend aus mindestens einem Gummiballon und mehreren verschiedenartigen Ventilmundstücken entwickelt, mit welchen man zum Beispiel mindestens sechs verschiedene Schwierigkeitsgrade während des Aufblasens des Ballons erreichen kann.When developing new equipment for speech therapy it has now surprisingly been found that inflatable rubber balloons with different material thickness and various valve mouthpieces extraordinary good as a medical-therapeutic aid for therapy the muscle groups in the orofacial area, the respiratory system as well as the holding and supporting apparatus in the whole body. It was therefore a new tool consisting of at least one rubber balloon and several different types Valve mouthpieces developed, for example at least six different levels of difficulty during the Inflating the balloon.

Gegenstand der hier vorliegenden Erfindung ist daher ein medizinisch-therapeutisches Hilfsmittel mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.The subject of the present invention is therefore a medical-therapeutic aid with the characteristics of Claim 1.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist Gegenstand des Anspruches 2.An advantageous embodiment of the invention is Subject matter of claim 2.

Das medizinisch-therapeutische Hilfsmittel besitzt mindestens einen aufblasbaren Gummiballon sowie mehrere, je ein Rückschlagventil aufweisende Mundstücke zum Aufblasen des Ballons. Mit einem solchen, nachfolgend auch als Set bezeichneten Hilfsmittel lassen sich die verschiedenen, vorstehend genannten Schwierigkeitsgrade trainieren.The medical-therapeutic aid has at least an inflatable rubber balloon and several, each one Non-return valve mouthpieces for inflating the Balloons. With one, also referred to below as a set Aids can be the various, above train the levels of difficulty mentioned.

Nachfolgend wird nun anhand der Zeichnung die Erfindung näher erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigen:

  • die Figur 1, eine Ansicht eines als medizinisch-therapeutisches Hilfsmittel eingesetzten Gummiballons,
  • die Figuren 2 und 3 je ein erstes und zweites Mundstück,
  • die Figuren 3 und 4 je ein drittes und viertes Mundstück, und
  • die Figur 6 ein fünftes Mundstück.
    • The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing. The drawing shows:
  • 1 shows a view of a rubber balloon used as a medical-therapeutic aid,
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 each have a first and a second mouthpiece,
  • Figures 3 and 4 each have a third and fourth mouthpiece, and
  • 6 shows a fifth mouthpiece.

    • Die Figuren 1 - 6 zeigen die Teile eines erfindungsgemässen medizinisch-therapeutischen Hilfsmittels. Dieses besteht im hier vorliegenden Fall aus einem Gummiballon 1, sowie fünf verschiedenen Ventilmundstücken 2, 3, 4, 5, und 6. Figures 1-6 show the parts of an inventive medical-therapeutic aids. This exists in the present case from a rubber balloon 1, as well five different valve mouthpieces 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

    Wie aus der Zeichnung ersichtlich ist, werden die im wesentlichen zylindrischen Mundstücke 2, 3, 4 und 5 aus drei verschiedenen Bauteilen, nämlich einem das Rückschlagventil aufweisenden Basisteil 7, einem Konusvorsatz 8 und einem Aufsatzröhrchen 9 gebildet. So stellt das nur aus dem Basisteil 7 gebildete Ventilmundstück 2 eine erste und das aus dem Basisteil 7 und dem auf diesem lösbar aufgesteckten Konusvorsatz 8 gebildete Ventilmundstück 3 eine zweite Schwierigkeitsstufe dar.As can be seen from the drawing, these are essentially cylindrical mouthpieces 2, 3, 4 and 5 out of three various components, namely a check valve having base part 7, a cone attachment 8 and an attachment tube 9 formed. So that only represents the basic part 7 formed valve mouthpiece 2 a first and that from the Base part 7 and the conical attachment detachably attached to this 8 formed valve mouthpiece 3 a second level of difficulty represents.

    Das Basisteil 7 weist - wie insbesondere in der Figur 2 dargestellt ist - einen in den Ballonhals 1a einsetzbaren Atemluftauslass 7a und einen Atemlufteinlass 7b auf. Der Atemlufteinlass 7b wird bei dem Einsatz der Ventilmundstücke 2 und 3 vom Patienten vor den Zähnen angesetzt, mit den Lippen umschlossen und aufgeblasen, so wie das in der Figur 1 gezeichnet ist.The base part 7 has — as in particular in FIG. 2 is shown - one insertable into the balloon neck 1a Breathing air outlet 7a and a breathing air inlet 7b. The Breathing air inlet 7b is used when using the valve mouthpieces 2 and 3 put on the patient in front of the teeth, with the lips enclosed and inflated, like the one in FIG. 1 is drawn.

    Die Ventilmundstücke 4 und 5 sind Weiterentwicklungen der Ventilmundstücke 2 und 3 und besitzen zur Erhöhung des Schwierigkeitsgrades noch zusätzlich ein den Atemlufteinlass 7b verlängerndes Anschlussröhrchen 9. Dieses ist dabei - wie der Konusvorsatz 8 - auf den Basisteil 7 lösbar aufgesteckt. Die Ventilmundstücke 4 und 5 stellen also je eine weitere Schwierigkeitsstufe dar.The valve mouthpieces 4 and 5 are further developments of the Valve mouthpieces 2 and 3 and have to increase the Difficulty levels in addition to the breathing air intake 7b extension connecting tube 9. This is - how the cone attachment 8 - detachably attached to the base part 7. The valve mouthpieces 4 and 5 each provide one more Difficulty level.

    Die in den Figuren 2 - 5 gezeichneten Ventilmundstücke bestehen vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff. Die einzelnen Bauteile der Ventilmundstücke können dabei verschiedenfarbig ausgebildet sein. Sie können aber auch durchsichtig sein und so bei der Benutzung durch den Patienten dem Therapeuten anzeigen, ob, und wenn ja, wieviel Speichel beim Aufblasen des Ballons abgegeben wird. The valve mouthpieces shown in Figures 2-5 are preferably made of plastic. The individual components the valve mouthpieces can be of different colors his. But they can also be transparent and so on notify the therapist of the patient's use, whether, and if so, how much saliva when inflating the balloon is delivered.

    Für den Fall, dass die Ventilmundstücke 2 - 5 in Folge einer verstärkten Hypotonie der Lippen oder aufgrund einer verkürzten Oberlippe oder entsprechend der individuellen Empfindung von Schwierigkeitsgraden seitens des Patienten, bez. wegen organisch bedingter Lippendysfunktionen nicht einsetzbar sind, werden erfindungsgemäss Ventilmundstücke mit einem Entlüftungsstempel verwendet. Ein solches an sich bekanntes Ventilmundstück ist in der Figur 6 dargestellt. Auch dieses Ventilmundstück 6 besitzt einen in den Ballonhals einsetzbaren Atemluft-Auslass 6a sowie einen Atemluft-Einlass 6b und besteht vorzugsweise aus einem farbigen oder durchsichtigen Kunststoff.In the event that the valve mouthpieces 2 - 5 in a row increased lip hypotension or due to shortened upper lip or according to the individual sensation of degrees of difficulty on the part of the patient, cannot be used due to organ-related lip dysfunctions are valve mouthpieces with a Bleed stamp used. Such a known one Valve mouthpiece is shown in Figure 6. This too Valve mouthpiece 6 has an insertable into the balloon neck Breathing air outlet 6a and a breathing air inlet 6b and consists preferably of a colored or transparent Plastic.

    Bei der Anwendung des in den Figuren 1 - 6 dargestellten Sets werden nacheinander die verschiedenen Schwierigkeitsstufen mit dem Ballon 1 durchtrainiert. Die individuelle Variable in der Empfindung der Schwierigkeit seitens des Patienten ist dabei zu beobachten. Anschliessend lassen sich die Ventilmundstücke 2 - 5 und gegebenenfalls auch das Ventilmundstück 6 mit einem zweiten, dickwandigeren Gummiballon, so zum Beispiel mit einem marmorierten Ballon verwenden, wobei auch dann wiederum die gleiche, dem individuellen Schwierigkeitsempfinden des Patienten entsprechende Reihenfolge der von der Art der verwendeten Ventilmundstücke abhängigen Schwierigkeitsstufen eingehalten wird.When using the one shown in FIGS. 1-6 Sets are the different difficulty levels one after the other trained with the balloon 1. The individual Variable in the sensation of difficulty on the part of the Patients should be observed. Then you can the valve mouthpieces 2 - 5 and possibly also the valve mouthpiece 6 with a second, thick-walled rubber balloon, so use it with a marbled balloon, for example then again the same, the individual perception of difficulty corresponding order of the patient depending on the type of valve mouthpieces used Difficulty levels are met.

    Ein erfindungsgemässes Set kann daher nicht nur einen einzigen Gummiballon, sondern auch mehrere solche enthalten, welche sich in ihrer Wandstärke unterscheiden, und so die Anzahl der Schwierigkeitsstufen entsprechend erhöhen.A set according to the invention can therefore not only have one single rubber balloon, but also contain several such which differ in their wall thickness, and so the number increase the level of difficulty accordingly.

    Abschliessend sei noch darauf hingewiesen, dass das anhand der Figuren 1 - 6 beschriebene Set nur eine Auswahl von verschiedenen Ausführungsformen der Erfindung darstellt. Finally, it should be noted that this is based on of the figures 1-6 described only a selection of represents various embodiments of the invention.

    So können zum Beispiel die erfindungsgemäss verwendbaren Ventilmundstücke von den gezeichneten Ventilmundstücken in Form und Grosse verschieden sein und es kann ein erfindungsgemässes Set natürlich nicht nur fünf, sondern auch eine kleinere oder grössere Anzahl Ventilmundstücken enthalten.For example, those which can be used according to the invention can be used Valve mouthpieces from the drawn valve mouthpieces in Shape and size may be different and it can be one according to the invention Set of course not just five, but also one contain smaller or larger number of valve mouthpieces.
