Problems solved by technology

Instrument measurement is more objective, but like the scale method, it still measures some indirect indicators, and because the equipment is bulky and expensive, it is very difficult to popularize it
In addition, the test of a specific scene in the laboratory is not a true performance of the balance ability in daily walking. Therefore, it does not solve the problem of normalization, convenience, and no interference with the daily activities of the testee, directly testing the balance ability of the human body in real situations.

Embodiment 1

[0097] In the first embodiment of the present invention, the ability to suppress harmonics is an important manifestation of the balance ability, and the harmonic distortion rate h is used as an evaluation index to dynamically monitor and evaluate the walking balance ability. Here, the harmonic distortion rate expresses the amount of harmonic content in the frequency spectrum, and is the ratio of the root mean square value of all harmonic intensities to the fundamental wave intensity.

[0098] Combine below Figure 6 to Figure 8 The first embodiment according to the present invention will be described. In this embodiment, specifically, the forward direction is set as the +x direction, the left direction is set as the +y direction, and the upward direction is set as the +z direction, which are also set in the following description.

[0099] Image 6 It is a schematic flow chart showing the walking balance monitoring method according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. in Imag...

Embodiment 2

[0130] As discovered by the inventors above, when the human body is walking, the acceleration harmonics between the left and right feet and between the left and right feet and the waist have correlation characteristics. The better the walking balance, the correlation between these acceleration harmonics Just higher. Embodiment 2 of the present invention uses the correlation coefficient r as the evaluation index to dynamically monitor and evaluate the walking balance ability. Here, the correlation coefficient r expresses the degree of correlation of the data sequence between the frequency spectra of different axes.

[0131] Combine below Figure 9 to Figure 11 The second embodiment according to the present invention will be described. Compared with the first embodiment, the second embodiment is different in that the correlation coefficient between the acceleration harmonics between the left and right feet and between the left and right feet and the waist is used as the evaluation...

Embodiment 3

[0163] The above-mentioned Example 1 and Example 2 use different evaluation indicators for walking balance evaluation, and the two indicators used are relatively independent indicators of the harmonic distortion rate and the correlation coefficient. It is not difficult to compare the experimental data in Table 1 and Table 2 above. It shows that the trends of the evaluation results of the two are basically the same, indicating that they both better reflect the balance ability of the human body when walking, but there are also slight differences between the two, which shows that the evaluation of the two reflects the human body from different aspects. Walking balance ability. In addition, because these two indicators are professional indicators, they are not easy to understand. Therefore, the inventor conceived a method of comprehensive evaluation by combining these two evaluation indexes. The third embodiment of the present invention uses the harmonic distortion rate h and the ...

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a technology for monitoring the balance ability of the human body and its changes during walking, and particularly relates to a walking balance evaluation method and device, a walking balance monitoring method and system, and a wearable human balance monitor. Background technique [0002] Due to aging, disease, long-term medication and other reasons, the balance function of the elderly is gradually degraded, bad actions during walking often appear, and the risk of falling gradually increases. The degradation process of balance function varies from person to person. There is no one-size-fits-all time point. The elderly often have a poor understanding of their physical condition. When the balance ability degrades to a warning position, they fail to take preventive measures in time, and they will be unable to do well in an emergency. Gait disorder, leading to falling and causing tragedy. If a scientific method can be found to parse ou...
