Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of human walking dynamic balance testing and training, and in particular to a human walking balance training testing system and a dynamic balance interference method. Background Art

[0002] Bipedal upright walking poses a huge challenge to maintaining human posture balance due to the smaller plantar support area and higher body center of mass. Traumatic brain injury, cerebrovascular accident, limb disability, and the decline in balance perception and multi-limb movement coordination caused by aging are the main causes of balance dysfunction, which puts patients at a very high risk of falling. Supplementation and rehabilitation of bipedal upright walking balance ability is an important means to improve the quality of life of patients with movement balance disorders, reduce the risk of falling, and return to social life. Balance interference training is currently an important balance ability rehabilitation treatment method in clinical practice, and an expert consensus has been formed: by applying external interference to the trunk, upper limbs or legs of the subject while sitting, standing or walking, the body's instability recovery stress action is induced, thereby exercising the body's balance ability.

[0003] At present, the systems used for testing and training human standing balance ability at home and abroad are relatively mature, but there is still a lack of methods and systems for testing and training human walking dynamic balance ability. Since the main causes of human walking instability and falls include external force pushing, slipping and tripping, in order to comprehensively evaluate the human body's ability to maintain dynamic walking balance, there is an urgent need for a walking dynamic balance interference method and balance training system that can simulate various instability situations such as pushing, slipping and tripping. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the problem that the existing methods and systems for testing and training the dynamic balance ability of human walking cannot perform training tests for interference from various situations such as external force pushing, slipping and tripping when the human body loses stability while walking and falls, the present invention provides a human walking balance training test system and a dynamic balance interference method.

[0008] The tension sensor and the pulley mechanism are connected to the wire rope, and the tension sensor measures and controls the magnitude of the interference force;

[0009] The treadmill is installed at the lower inner part of the experimental platform support, and the treadmill is composed of two independently controllable running belts on the left and right sides;

[0010] The motion capture camera is installed at the upper corner of the experimental platform bracket, and the motion capture camera records the limb posture data of the human body when walking.

[0011] Further, the servo motor specifically includes an m1 servo motor, an m2 servo motor, an m3 servo motor, an m4 servo motor, an m5 servo motor and an m6 servo motor;

[0013] Furthermore, the steel wire ropes on the m1 servo motor, the m2 servo motor, the m3 servo motor and the m4 servo motor are connected to the waist belt, mainly randomly applying interference force to the waist of the human body.

[0014] Furthermore, the steel wire ropes on the m5 servo motor and the m6 servo motor are connected to the foot straps, which mainly randomly apply interference force to the ankles of the human body's swinging legs.

[0015] Furthermore, the experimental platform support includes a longitudinal beam, a long cross beam, a short cross beam, a side support beam and a tail support beam;

[0016] The upper and lower ends of the longitudinal beam are respectively vertically connected to the long crossbeam and the short crossbeam to form a rectangular main frame of the experimental platform bracket. The long crossbeam is vertically symmetrically connected to the side support beam, and the short crossbeam is vertically symmetrically connected to the tail support beam.

[0017] Furthermore, the height of the side support beam is higher than that of the tail support beam, and a pulley mechanism is installed above the side support beam and the tail support beam, and the pulley in the pulley mechanism is slidably connected to the steel wire rope.

[0018] Furthermore, the center point of the starting end of the treadmill belt is the origin O of the XYZ coordinate system, the Y-axis direction is the same as the treadmill belt direction, the Z-axis direction is perpendicular to the treadmill belt, and the X-axis direction is determined according to the right-hand rule.

10. A dynamic balance interference method for a human walking balance training and testing system according to any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that: The method comprises the following steps: Step 1: Method to simulate the instability of a human body being pushed down while walking: Step 1: Measure and control the magnitude of the disturbance force; The output shaft of each servo motor (1) is connected to a steel wire rope (3), and a tension sensor (2) is installed between the motor output shaft and the steel wire rope (3) to measure and control the magnitude of the interference force; Step 1 and 2: Assess the body's ability to maintain dynamic balance while walking; Step 121: Calculate the total disturbance force Fp: The m1 servo motor, m2 servo motor, m3 servo motor and m4 servo motor are responsible for randomly applying interference forces F1, F2, F3 and F4 to the waist of the human body. The total interference force Fp received by the waist is calculated by the following formula: Fp=F1+F2+F3+F4; Step 122: By randomly applying Fp of different magnitudes and directions at the initial, middle and final stages of the human walking support phase, the instability of being pushed down while walking is simulated; Steps 1, 2, and 3: The human motion capture camera (6) records the limb posture data of the human body when walking in real time, so as to evaluate the ability of the human body to maintain dynamic balance while walking; Step 2: Method to simulate the instability caused by slipping of the sole of the foot when walking: The treadmill (5) supports the experimental subjects to walk or run at a constant speed, and the treadmill (5) has two independently controllable running belts on the left and right, and the instability of the foot slipping is simulated by controlling the magnitude and direction of the running belt acceleration As. The treadmill can randomly apply acceleration As in different directions at the initial, middle and final stages of the human walking support phase, thereby simulating the instability of the foot slipping when the human body is walking; The human motion capture camera (6) records the limb posture data of the human body when walking in real time, which is used to evaluate the ability of the human body to maintain dynamic balance while walking; At the same time, the treadmill (5) measures and records the plantar pressure information of the human body during walking in real time, so as to evaluate the ability of the human body to maintain dynamic balance during walking; Step 3: Method to simulate the instability of a person being tripped by an obstacle while walking: The m5 servo motor and the m6 servo motor are responsible for applying a random interference force Ft to the ankle of the human swinging leg. By randomly applying an interference force Ft in the opposite direction of the human walking direction in the initial, middle and final stages of the human walking support phase, the instability caused by the human body being tripped by an obstacle while walking is simulated. The human motion capture camera (6) is installed on the experimental platform bracket (7) to record the limb posture data of the human body while walking in real time, which is used to evaluate the human body's ability to maintain dynamic balance while walking.
