◆ "Patterter" that can check the function of your mouth in 10 seconds

Elderly people tend to have poor oral function.

Not only does the number of teeth decrease and it becomes difficult to chew food, but also the movement of the lips and tongue becomes poor, words cannot be spoken well (pronunciation disorder), food spills from the mouth, and it is difficult to swallow (dysphagia). Very many people suffer from symptoms.

This is technically called "oral hypofunction".

There is a method called "pataca measurement (pataca test)" as a simple method to evaluate the function of such a mouth.

◆ What is Pataca measurement?

Pataca measurement is a method of checking the function of the mouth by literally emitting katakana "pa", "ta", and "ka".

You can easily evaluate how well you can move your lips and tongue by pronouncing "pa", "ta", and "ka" continuously for 10 seconds each.

Anyone can easily check the function of the mouth by using the oral function measurement application "Pattucker".

◆ Why "pa", "ta", "ka"

When you hear how to inspect a pataca, you're probably wondering, "Why is pataca?"

In fact, this test is an evaluation method with the official name "Oral Diad Cokinesis", and research papers have been published.

It is highly reliable and is used not only in dentistry but also in the field of long-term care, and each one has an important meaning.

"Pa" is pronounced to measure the ability to open and close the lips.

This is a useful function for holding or chewing food in your mouth.

If you pronounce "ta", you can measure the ability to raise the front part of the tongue.

This is also a useful feature for mastication.

Finally, regarding "mosquitoes", it is possible to measure the function of pulling up the base of the tongue.

This can evaluate the swallowing function of swallowing food.

In other words, you can investigate the behavior from the time you put food in your mouth to the time you swallow it, just by having it pronounced as pataca.

◆ Oral hypofunction

Oral frailty is a word that is often heard, but "oral hypofunction" is the name of a disease in which eating and swallowing, etc., based on tests have declined.

The tests are diverse because of the complex deterioration of oral function.

The name of the disease is hypothyroidism when 3 of the following 7 detailed examinations of oral function are applicable.

(1) Poor oral hygiene condition (2) Dry mouth (wetness of oral mucosa / saliva volume) (3) Decreased occlusal force (occlusal pressure / remaining teeth) (4) Decreased tongue and lip movement function (5) Low tongue pressure ⑥ Masticatory function decline test (masticatory ability test / masticatory efficiency score method) ⑦ Swallowing function decline test (swallowing screening test (EAT-10) / self-administered questionnaire (holy slave swallowing questionnaire))
