| Research Abstract |
In the rehabilitation hospital in Kagawa Pref., an encounter investigation of the cerebral apoplexy patient was carried out. The research objects were 21 staying home old people who were receiving day service, 10 hospitalized patients with dysphagia and 46 hospitalized patients without dysphagia. The survey item was subjective symptom on oral cavity and eating function, oral cavity (tooth, gums, tongue), oral cavity circumference (lip, cheek, temporomandibular joint), denture, swallow function, saliva, chewing ability. From the research object, the patient (28 hospitalized patients and 14 day service patients) with the occlusal support of posterior teeth by natural teeth or denture were chosen. Between two groups, the following were compared : Saliva quantity, buffering capacity of saliva, number of candida in the saliva, biting force, masticatory efficiency. As the result, saliva quantity and buffering capacity of saliva of the hospitalized patient group tended to be lower than that of day service patient group. The number of candida in the saliva on both groups was also very more abounding than the general old people. The quantity of the saliva tended to correlate with grade of eating ability and meal form. The hospitalized patient group showed the tendency which biting force and masticatory efficiency were lower than that of day service patient group. However, the individual difference was big, and it seemed to be necessary to search the influencial factor. From this investigation, chewing function of the cerebral apoplexy patients in the rehabilitation hospital was grasped and the influencial factor on it was indicated.
