The role of advanced swallowing mechanism models

Advanced swallowing mechanism models can truly reproduce the structure of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx and upper segment of the esophagus, as well as the dynamic swallowing process. They are important training devices in rehabilitation medicine, otolaryngology and nursing teaching. Its main function is to help learners intuitively understand the physiological mechanism of swallowing, including key links such as food ball formation, tongue propulsion, pharyngeal contraction, epiglottis closure and esophageal peristalsis, thereby mastering the difference between normal and abnormal swallowing.

In rehabilitation training, models can be used to demonstrate the occurrence mechanism of dysphagia, enabling medical staff to master assessment methods and basic intervention strategies, such as posture adjustment and oropharyngeal training. In clinical teaching, it helps students become familiar with relevant anatomical structures and improve their ability to judge problems such as aspiration and laryngeal function decline.

In addition, this model is often used in health education to help patients and their families understand the importance of swallowing training. Through visual display and operational experience, the advanced swallowing mechanism model effectively enhances teaching quality and clinical practical operation ability.
