Six-minute walk tester and medical six-minute walk test system

Abstract

The invention relates to a six-minute walk tester and a medical six-minute walk test system. The six-minute walk tester comprises a control module, a voice guiding module and a ranging module, whereinthe control module comprises a controller and a memory; the voice guiding module and the ranging module are both connected with the controller; the memory is used for memorizing voice guiding information; the control module is used for timing and controlling the voice guiding module to play voice guiding information at an interval of a certain time; and the ranging module is used for measuring awalking distance of a user within six minutes. The six-minute walk tester and the medical six-minute walk test system provided by the invention have advantages of compact structure, good portability and wide application range, have functions of automatically timing, calculating the walking distance and playing the voice guiding information, and can easily complete the six-minute walk test withoutassistance of medical personnel.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a six-minute walk tester and a medical six-minute walk test system. Background technique [0002] The six minute walk test (six minute walk test, 6MWT) has been gradually used in clinical practice since the 1980s, and became a standard in 2002; the six minute walk test is a simple, safe and convenient exercise test. By walking the subject, test the distance that the subject can walk at the fastest speed within 6 minutes, so as to realize the detection of exercise endurance, reflect the cardiopulmonary function status of the subject, and comprehensively evaluate the subject's physical fitness. Systemic functional status, such as exercise capacity, cardiorespiratory function, and bone and muscle function and nutritional levels, is also an important aspect of quality of life assessment; especially for chronic lung diseases, such as: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (C...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in the prior art, when performing a six-minute walk test, there are usually the following disadvantages: the first is that medical personnel are required to manually time the time and manually calculate the walking distance, which not only wastes manpower, but also causes errors in calculating the distance; During the test, the medical staff need to manually remind and encourage the subjects to go as far as possible, so as to stimulate the potential of the subjects and facilitate evaluation; third, during the test, the medical staff also need to carry blood pressure monitors and oximeters, etc. measuring equipment, so that the measurement can be carried out immediately at the end of the test; Fourth, before the test, the medical staff also need to manually calculate the normal expected walking distance and the normal lower limit walking distance of the subjects, which is very troublesome, and after each test is completed , and manually record the actual walking distance for evaluation as historical data
