Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of detection instruments, in particular to an eye mask type intelligent measuring device for human neck proprioception. Background Art

[0002] Cervical dizziness is a common clinical condition. Surveys show that 20% to 30% of the general population over the age of 14 have experienced dizziness, instability, or visual rotation. It is generally believed that its occurrence is related to spatial orientation and balance disorders caused by cervical spine dysfunction. Clinically, cervical dizziness is defined as a sense of disorientation or impaired spatial orientation, without false or distorted motion sensations, as measured using a visual analog scale (VAS). Cervical dizziness is often accompanied by chronic neck pain, often occurring after cervical rotation (without nystagmus), and is often associated with cervical osteoarthritis or degenerative disc changes. Dizziness episodes typically last from minutes to hours and have varying frequency. During these episodes, patients are often extremely distressed, unable to work or live normally, and left in a semi-disabled state. However, after the episodes subside, it is often neglected and lacks effective treatment, becoming a chronic, recurring condition.

[0003] Since there are a large number of proprioceptors around the small joints of the cervical spine, in the cervical muscle spindles and in the degenerative cervical intervertebral discs, the proprioceptive information generated by these receptors can maintain the normal head position, direction and stability of the cervical joints. However, under the stimulation of certain factors such as inflammation or other specific conditions, the information may be sensitized and mismatched, thereby causing symptoms of dizziness. Therefore, studying the changes in cervical proprioceptive information can help diagnose and predict the occurrence and development trend of cervical dizziness, and provide an accurate basis for treatment.

[0004] Among current testing methods, the cervical joint position error test (JPE) is generally considered the most important test for assessing cervical proprioception. Its purpose is to measure the positional sense of the cervical joints. The patient is blindfolded and a laser pointer is placed above their head. When the laser pointer is centered on the target, the patient is instructed to move their head away from the target. After the head returns to the center, the error between the starting and final positions is calculated. A positive result is considered a joint position error exceeding 4.5°. However, this current testing method is relatively crude and difficult to quantify. It is highly dependent on the examiner's technique and subjective judgment, is significantly affected by patient compliance, has poor reproducibility, and can be invasive, making it unsuitable for widespread dissemination and home use. Therefore, there is an urgent need for breakthroughs and advancements in testing methods to make previously complex tests more intelligent, simpler, and reproducible. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the said features. In the description of the present invention, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined. In addition, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be a communication between the two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the eye mask type human neck proprioception intelligent measurement device according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a light-shielding eye mask 1, a fixing box 2, a display screen 3, an operating handle 4 and an adjustable fixing belt.

[0035] The eye mask 1 is mounted on the inner side of a mounting box 2. The mounting box 2 houses a gyroscope 6, a signal converter, and a main control chip. The main control chip is electrically connected to the signal converter, which in turn is electrically connected to the gyroscope 6. The gyroscope 6 detects the angle of the device's current state, and the signal converter converts the information detected by the gyroscope 6 and transmits it to the main control chip for storage.

[0036] Display screen 3 is located on the outer panel of fixed box 2. Control buttons are also provided on the outer panel of fixed box 2. Display screen 3 and control buttons are electrically connected to the main control chip. Display screen 3 can display not only the real-time detection value of gyroscope 6 but also the final measurement result.

[0037] The operating handle 4 is connected to the fixed box 2 via a data line 5. An operating button 401 is provided on the operating handle 4. The operating button 401 is electrically connected to the main control chip. By pressing the operating button 401, the detection angle of the device in the current state can be determined.

[0038] Among them, the adjustable fixing belts are installed at both ends of the fixing box 2, which are convenient for the patient to wear and shield the patient's eyes through the light-shielding eye mask 1.

[0039] During use, the patient can wear the measuring device on the patient's head by himself or with the assistance of others through the adjustable fixing belt, so that the light-shielding eye mask 1 just covers the patient's eyes, and the patient holds the operating handle 4, and then the operator manually adjusts the patient's head to the initial neutral position, and asks the patient to remember this position. At this time, the gyroscope 6 is zeroed through the control button, and then the operator manually adjusts the patient's head to the left (or right) by 45° and then lets go, and then allows the patient's head to rotate back to the initial neutral position by itself. After the patient confirms that it has been rotated to the initial neutral position, the current detection angle of the gyroscope 6 is determined by pressing the operation button 401 on the operating handle 4, and the error angle between the initial neutral position and the neutral position after rotation is obtained, and the detection angle is stored in the main control chip, and then the main control chip sends the detection value to the display screen for display. The detection value can be used as a diagnostic reference value to determine whether there is a possibility of cervical dizziness.

[0040] Therefore, the eye mask type intelligent measurement device for human neck proprioception of the embodiment of the present invention can conveniently and quickly detect cervical dizziness. The detection process is highly intelligent and can be repeated. It is not only suitable for routine examinations in hospitals, but also suitable for large-scale surveys and home use.

[0041] Specifically, the control buttons include a switch button 7, a display button 8 and a gyroscope zeroing button 9, wherein the switch button 7 is used to control the opening and closing operations of the measuring device, the display button 8 is used to facilitate viewing the detection results through the display screen 3, and the gyroscope zeroing button 9 is used to zero the gyroscope 6.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, a voice prompt module and a speaker 10 are further provided within the fixed box 2. The speaker 10 is electrically connected to the voice prompt module, which is in turn electrically connected to the main control chip. A sound outlet 11 is provided on the outer panel of the fixed box 2 at a position corresponding to the speaker 10. In other words, by providing the voice prompt module and speaker 10, both measurement results and the testing process can be announced, making the measurement device of this embodiment more convenient to use.

[0043] For example, by programming the main control chip, when the patient's head is twisted, the gyroscope 6 can detect the real-time angle data of the head twist and send the angle data to the main control chip in real time. When the gyroscope 6 detects that the patient's head is twisted 45 degrees to the left (or right), the main control chip will send a broadcast prompt instruction to the voice prompt module, thereby emitting a specific prompt tone or broadcasting the corresponding angle value through the speaker 10, prompting the operator or patient that the head twist angle requirement has been reached and the patient can rotate back to the neutral position by himself. In this way, it is not only convenient for the operator to use, but also can be used by the patient by himself without an operator, making the use of the device more intelligent and convenient.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, a sound sensor 12 and a voice signal processing module are also provided within the fixed box 2. The probe of the sound sensor 12 extends outside the fixed box 2. The sound sensor 12 is electrically connected to the voice signal processing module, which is in turn electrically connected to the main control chip. In other words, the sound sensor 12 can collect voice information and transmit it to the voice signal processing module for recognition and processing. The voice signal processing module then recognizes and processes the voice information before transmitting it to the main control chip. The main control chip can then control the device according to the corresponding voice commands, thereby achieving voice control of the device, achieving a higher level of intelligence and greater ease of use.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, a battery 13 is further provided within the mounting box 2 and electrically connected to the main control chip. A charging port 14 is provided on a side panel of the mounting box 2 and connected to the battery 13. Specifically, the charging port 14 is used to charge the battery 13, which in turn powers the main control chip, thereby providing electrical energy for the operation of the measurement device of this embodiment.

[0046] A USB interface 15 is also provided on the side panel of the fixing box 2, and the USB interface 15 is electrically connected to the main control chip. That is, by providing the USB interface 15, wired data transmission between the measuring device of this embodiment and external devices can be achieved.

[0047] Among them, a first plug (not shown in the figure) can be detachably installed at the charging interface 14, and a second plug (not shown in the figure) can be detachably installed at the USB interface 15, so that when the charging interface 14 and the USB interface 15 are in a non-use state, the charging interface 14 and the USB interface 15 are respectively blocked by the first plug and the second plug, thereby playing a role in dust protection.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, a circuit board 16 is provided within the fixed housing 2. The circuit board 16 is connected to the inner wall of the fixed housing 2 via connectors. The main control chip, signal converter, voice prompt module, and voice signal processing module are integrated onto the circuit board 16. The gyroscope 6, speaker 10, and sound sensor 12 are also mounted on the circuit board 16. The battery 13 is bonded to the backside of the circuit board 16. In other words, the provision of the circuit board 16 enables the integrated installation of components such as the main control chip, signal converter, voice prompt module, voice signal processing module, gyroscope 6, speaker 10, and sound sensor 12 within the fixed housing 2.

[0049] The circuit board 16 is also provided with a Bluetooth module, which is electrically connected to the main control chip. In other words, by providing the Bluetooth module, wireless data transmission between the measuring device of this embodiment and external devices can be achieved, for example, detection information can be transmitted to external devices such as mobile phones and computers.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, a light-shielding eye mask 1 includes an eye mask body that conforms to the contour of the human eye. A V-shaped groove 101 is formed inwardly from the outside in the middle bottom portion of the eye mask body, designed to fit the bridge of the nose. A concave surface 102 is provided at the top of the arc of the V-shaped groove 101, designed to fit tightly against the bridge of the nose. Specifically, the structure of the eye mask body, the arrangement of the V-shaped groove 101 and the concave surface 102, enable the light-shielding eye mask 1 to better fit the human eye when worn. Furthermore, the positioning of the eye mask body with the bridge of the nose ensures that the measuring device is correctly positioned each time the eye mask is worn, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the measurement results.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, the adjustable fixing strap includes a first connecting strap 17, a second connecting strap 18, and a fixing strap buckle 19. The first end of the first connecting strap 17 is connected to the first end of the fixing box 2, and the two ends of the second connecting strap 18 are respectively connected to the second end of the fixing box 2 and the fixing strap buckle 19. The second end of the first connecting strap 17 can be detachably connected to the second connecting strap 18 via the fixing strap buckle 19. The fixing strap buckle 19 can adopt an existing conventional buckle. This structural form of the adjustable fixing strap facilitates length adjustment, so that it can be adjusted according to the wearer's head size to adapt to the head sizes of different wearers, so that the measuring device of this embodiment is more stable and secure after being worn.

[0052] The first connecting strap 17 and the second connecting strap 18 may be elastic bands, thereby further ensuring the stability and comfort of the measuring device after being worn.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, the eye mask-type intelligent measurement device for human cervical proprioception further includes a headband 20, the ends of which are respectively connected to the upper end of the fixing box 2 and the fixing belt buckle 19. The headband 20 can serve as an auxiliary fixation, allowing the measurement device of this embodiment to be better worn on the patient's head, increasing stability and comfort after wearing.

[0054] Specifically, the fixing box 2 can be made of lightweight plastic, or other lightweight materials, so that the structural strength of the fixing box 2 can not only meet the usage requirements, but also reduce the weight as much as possible, so that the measuring device has the advantage of being lightweight and more comfortable for patients to wear.
