*Useful for Strengthening Mouth Muscles......Labilin Trainer*
It was reported that a training group held an instructional class on how to use an oral training apparatus developed by dentists for the purpose of oral function rehabilitation on the 12th at Honjo Chuo Community Center in Honjo City.
About 160 people, including healthcare workers, participated in the training where they practiced how to use an eating and swallowing training implement called the 'Labilin Trainer'.
The training group was sponsored by the Kodama Sphere Care Manager Liaison Council.
Mr. Takeshi Kikuya, Assistant Professor from the Nippon Dental University Hospital, together with Dr. Shigeru Inaba, the masterminds behind the Labilin Trainer and former Professor of Gerodontology at Nippon Dental University, served as lecturers.
Mr. Kikuya, who is also the director of the Oral Care Rehabilitation Center, emphasized, 'It is not enough for just our teeth to be in good condition. It is also necessary to prevent function loss of the mouth.'
He taught mouth exercises that can strengthen the mouth and lead to enjoyment of a rich diet.
After this, Mr. Inaba introduced the Labilin Trainer, a product created in cooperation with a number of individuals with connections to Nippon Dental University, starting with Mr. Kikuya.
He taught how to exercise the tongue and lips.
Director Yoshinari Iizuka of the Iizuka Dental Clinic in Honjo City who served as chairperson stated, 'It was an enlightening training group filled with useful information. I believe the importance of oral functions was well-conveyed.'
According to Dr. Inaba, the Labilin Trainer is an implement that strengthens joints in the mouth area. It is characterized by its ease of use, which is comparable to that of a toothbrush, for everyone from infants to seniors.
'Not only can it prevent eating and drinking spillage accidents for seniors, but it also proves useful in recovering from speech impediment and other lost functions due to stroke,' said Dr. Inaba.
