Optical instrument for automatically searching myofascitis trigger point

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of health-care equipment and particularly relates to an optical instrument for automatically searching a myofascitis trigger point, which is used for solving the problems that the existing method for searching the myofascitis trigger point has very great limitation and a common patient can not accurately position the myofascitis trigger point. The optical instrument for automatically searching the myofascitis trigger point, provided by the invention, comprises an optical fiber spectrometer, an integrating sphere and control equipment, wherein the optical fiber spectrometer is electrically connected with the integrating sphere; the control equipment is electrically connected with optical fiber spectrometer; and the integrating sphere is provided with a light source and a spectrophotometer. By virtue of the optical instrument for automatically searching the myofascitis trigger point, provided by the invention, the patient can accurately position the myofascitis trigger point; and the optical instrument also has the advantages of being noninvasive, small in volume and convenient to carry.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of health care equipment, in particular to an optical instrument for automatically finding myofascial trigger points. Background technique [0002] Myofascitis, also known as myofascial pain syndrome (Myofascial Pain Syndrome, referred to as MPS), is a clinical common disease, frequently-occurring disease. It refers to one of the common clinical soft tissue injury diseases characterized by localized chronic muscle pain accompanied by one or more trigger points (TriggerPoints, TrPs for short). Diagnostic criteria are tender points, fixed pain, and bands of muscle tension, while referred pain and twitch responses are confirmatory signs of myofascial trigger points. Especially myofasciitis of the shoulder and back is clinically common. Myofasciitis of the shoulder and back is mostly seen in adults and the elderly, but with the development of society, the long use of computers and the acceleration of people's life rhyth...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, the following methods are mainly used to find the trigger point. The first method is to find the trigger point of myofasciitis through an acupuncturist or therapist, which is closely related to their experience; the other is to use a hand-held tenderness meter to measure the trigger point. The disadvantage of this method is that the subject cannot measure it by himself, and the subject easily misunderstands the pain tolerance threshold and the pain threshold, so it is difficult to find the exact pain point; there are also some such as fine needle electrode electromyography, Surface electromyography, ultrasound images and MRI have also been reported and applied to the detection of trigger points in recent years, but because most of them go to hospitals for testing and are mostly used for clinical trials, their promotion is widely limited by time and space, so there are certain limitations sex

[0005] In summary, the existing methods for finding the trigger point of myofasciitis have great limitations, and ordinary patients cannot accurately locate the trigger point of myofasciitis
