Real-time muscular tension measuring device

Abstract

The invention relates to a muscular tension real-time measuring device which comprises an auxiliary measuring brace and a measuring assembly. The auxiliary measuring brace is connected with the measuring assembly through measuring assembly sliding rails arranged on the five finger portions respectively. And the measuring assembly is fixed on the measuring assembly sliding rail of the auxiliary measuring brace through a locking nut. The auxiliary measuring brace has various general models, so that the measuring requirements of most patients are met; the position of the measuring assembly can befreely adjusted along a sliding rail of a finger part on the measuring brace, and the fingertip muscle tension of patients with different finger lengths can be accurately measured. The muscular tension real-time measuring device can detect the change rule of the muscular tension of a patient in real time, provides a reliable clinical diagnosis basis for clinicians, and reasonably plans rehabilitation training tasks for the patient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a real-time measurement device for muscle tension, which belongs to the field of rehabilitation aids. Background technique [0002] Increased muscle tone is a common complication of central nervous system diseases. Among them, 50%-80% of stroke patients will have increased muscle tone, and some patients will even have increased muscle tone for life. The increase of muscle tension is mainly manifested in limb spasm, which seriously affects the daily activities of patients and rehabilitation treatment. People with high muscle tone exhibit abnormal posture both in motion and at rest, and over time, the patient's motor function is impaired. Therefore, in the spasticity period, with the abnormal increase of the patient's muscle tension, it is very necessary to carry out early rehabilitation training for the patient. The commonly used rehabilitation methods include anti-spasmodic limbs, joint range of motion training, slow stretchin...

Problems solved by technology

At present, the modified Ashworth Rating Scale is the most commonly used clinically for the assessment of abnormally increased muscle tone at various stages of the disease after stroke. This scale has been used for many years and has good validity and reliability. It is highly subjective, and different therapists often have different inspection results according to their own experience and proficiency. Therefore, the scale cannot accurately and objectively evaluate the patient's muscle spasticity

[0003] In view of the lack of quantitative muscle tension devices at home and abroad, it is urgent to develop a device that can quantitatively measure muscle tension. This can greatly reduce manpower and material resources to a certain extent, and improve the level of rehabilitation treatment. The technology means a lot and is a huge boon for the recovery of hemiplegic patients
