Wearable device, system and method for gait training and monitoring and evaluation of Parkinson patients

Abstract

The invention discloses a wearable device, system and method for gait training and monitoring and evaluation of Parkinson patients. Gait rehabilitation training of Parkinson patients is assisted by generating suggestive guide light rays or sounds with beats while Parkinson patients walk, so as to improve the freezing gait of patients and guide patients to walk better; different training modes can be provided for patients with different disease severity levels, light or sound prompt is sent out only when the freezing gait appears for patients with mild symptoms, and light or sound prompt is sent out all the time for patients with severe symptoms. Furthermore, the device can monitor the motion state information of patients in real time, and analyze the improvement condition of the freezing gait of patients according to the motion state information of patients for reference of doctors in judging the rehabilitation condition of patients. The device is light, small, simple in structure and convenient to wear, patients can conduct rehabilitation at home, and environment adaptability and practicality are high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention discloses a wearable device, in particular a wearable device, system and method for gait training and monitoring and evaluation of Parkinson's patients, belonging to the technical field of auxiliary medical rehabilitation. Background technique [0002] Parkinson's disease (PD for short) is a common neurodegenerative disease among middle-aged and elderly people. The average age of onset is about 60 years old, and it is rare for young people under the age of 40 to develop Parkinson's disease. According to statistics, there are currently about 5 million Parkinson's patients in the world, and Chinese people account for 47%. As China's aging problem continues to intensify, it is estimated that by 2030, the number of Parkinson's patients in China will account for 57% of the world's total. At the same time, the current prevalence of Parkinson's in urban population over 65 years old is close to 2%, and 65% of patients are misdiagnosed or missed. ...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] Aiming at the above-mentioned shortcomings of the single function of the wearable device for Parkinson's patients in the prior art, the present invention provides a wearable device, system and method for gait training and monitoring and evaluation of Parkinson's patients, which can be used in When Parkinson's patients walk, they can generate prompt guiding lights or rhythmic sounds to assist patients in gait rehabilitation training, thereby helping to improve patients' frozen gait, guiding patients to walk better, and providing treatment for patients with different degrees of severity. Patients are provided with different training modes, for patients with mild symptoms, can choose to automatically turn on the light or sound cue only when the freezing gait occurs, and for patients with more serious symptoms, the light or sound cue is always on
