Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to an intelligent pelvic floor muscle training device. Background Art

[0002] The pelvic floor muscles refer to the muscle group that closes the pelvic floor. Due to factors such as pregnancy, abdominal pressure in the elderly, and increased gravity of pelvic organs, the pelvic floor muscles are under continuous pressure and gradually relax. If they are not repaired, corresponding functional disorders will occur, such as incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. There are many types of pelvic floor muscle repair devices available, but they have the following problems: Kegal and biofeedback training require patients to actively contract their muscles for training, and they rely on the guidance of doctors. The vaginal electrodes for pelvic floor electrical stimulation need to invade the human body, which poses a risk of poor privacy and infection.

[0003] Therefore, we use intelligent hip bridge exercises combined with traditional Kegal to reduce patients' fatigue, encourage patients to actively improve their pelvic floor muscle groups, avoid infection and dependent operations, and use intelligent hip bridge exercises instead of tightening the abdomen. Lift the buttocks and make the shoulders, hips, and knees in a straight line. Stay for 3-5 seconds and then return to a lying position. During this period, the kegal action is added to contract the anus and vagina. You can feel the anal and vaginal muscles shrinking. Contract and lift the anus for 10 seconds, and then relax for 10 seconds as a set of actions. Combining the two can achieve better results.

[0004] When the conventional hip bridge exercise is completed, the exerciser can feel the contraction of the pelvic floor muscles. However, patients who have just started to exercise find it difficult to do the hip bridge exercise, and mechanically forcing the patient to enter the hip bridge state cannot allow the patient to get very effective exercise. For this reason, we propose an intelligent pelvic floor muscle training device. Summary of the invention

[0020] When the patient is using the intelligent pelvic floor muscle training instrument, the patient places the buttocks on the supporting cushion 3 and the legs on both sides of the two splints 15, and the whole person is in a lying position. The patient clamps the two splints 15 with his legs to perform leg clamping exercises. When the legs are clamped, the sliding plate 12 squeezes the first spring 4, and at the same time, the sliding plate 12 is squeezed downward through the connecting rod 11. The lifting drive rod 8 moves downward with the sliding plate 12, and the lifting seat 4 is pulled upward by the labor-saving pulley set 7, thereby assisting in supporting the patient's buttocks to perform hip bridge exercises, keeping the shoulders, hips, and knees in a straight line, and returning to the lying position after staying for 3-5 seconds. During this period, kegal movements are added to train the pelvic floor muscles.

[0021] Embodiment 2: The labor-saving pulley set 7 includes a first fixed pulley 71, a second fixed pulley 72 and a movable pulley 73. The first fixed pulley 71 is fixed on the bracket 1 directly above the lifting seat 4, the second fixed pulley 72 is fixed on the bracket 1 between the lifting seat 4 and the lifting drive rod 8, and a steel cable 74 is tied to the first fixed pulley 71. The steel cable 74 passes through the movable pulley 73, the first fixed pulley 71 and the second fixed pulley 72 and is fixedly connected to the lifting drive rod 8. The movable pulley 73 is fixed on the connecting ears 41 on both sides of the lifting seat 4. The lifting drive rod 8 pulls the movable pulley 73 and the lifting seat 4 to move upward synchronously. It should be noted that different labor-saving pulley sets 7 can be replaced according to the intensity of the exercise to help patients perform exercises from easy to difficult step by step. For example, a more labor-saving pulley combination can be selected for the first exercise. The labor-saving pulley set 7 is specifically selected according to the patient's own situation.

[0022] Embodiment 3: The lifting seat 4 includes a bottom plate 42 and a top plate 43, a support block 44 is arranged between the bottom plate 42 and the top plate 43, the support cushion 3 is hinged on the top plate 43, two groups of second springs 45 are arranged above the top plate 43, the two groups of second springs 45 are respectively arranged on both sides of the hinged part of the support cushion 3, and two limit blocks 17 are also arranged on both sides of the hinged part of the support cushion 3. The limit blocks 17 are used to limit the deflection angle of the support cushion 3. When the patient's buttocks are supported by the upwardly rising support cushion 3 to enter the hip bridge state, the support cushion 3 is tilted at a certain angle to keep it in this state and better fit the patient's buttocks, and the auxiliary support effect is better.

[0023] Embodiment 4: A massage component and a pressure sensor are provided on the support cushion 3. The pressure sensor monitors the downward pressure of the patient's buttocks, thereby automatically starting the massage component to massage the buttocks.

[0024] The support 1 is provided with a visual camera 18 for collecting the patient's body posture image. According to the collected body posture image, it can be judged whether the patient's state at this time is standard, so as to further provide guidance for the patient's movement training.

[0025] Embodiment 5: The present invention also provides a control system of an intelligent pelvic floor muscle training device, the control system comprising: The central processing unit is used to control the working process of the entire device; A visual processing module, which processes the body posture image captured by the visual camera 18 and transmits the processed body posture image information to the central processing unit; A data storage module stores standard body posture images, instruction audio and video data. The central processing unit compares the body posture images processed by the visual processing module with the standard body posture images, and outputs the instruction audio and video; The audio output unit and the video output unit are used to output the guidance audio and video respectively; The power supply module supplies power to the entire device.

[0026] The control system also includes a pressure monitor, which is connected to the pressure sensor, monitors the pressure signal of the pressure sensor and transmits it to the central processor, thereby controlling the operation of the massage component.

[0029] The control system of the present invention sends action instructions to the patient through video and audio. When the patient starts exercising, the patient is notified to lie flat on the bed board. The pressure sensor set on the support cushion 3 and the visual camera 18 can be used to understand whether the patient has completed the lying action; when the patient has completed lying flat, the patient is notified to perform the leg clamping action, and the visual camera 18 is used to check the degree to which the patient has reached the standard hip bridge state (shoulder, hip, and knee are in a straight line) at this time, and the patient is notified to maintain this posture for 3-5 seconds to perform the kegal action, and guide the patient to perform the anal lifting exercise, contract and lift the anus for 10 seconds, and then relax for 10 seconds as a set of actions. If you need to massage the buttocks, you can also start the massage component to massage the buttocks, and the massage component can also continue to maintain the massage action after the pressure sensor detects the pressure signal. The system can collect and record the patient's exercise times, time, and effective action groups, and store them in the data storage module. It has a built-in digital pelvic floor muscle training tutorial, which guides patients to follow the commands of the trainer to perform scientific and systematic exercises through audio and video output. The touch screen is used as the input device, making the operation more intuitive, simple and easy to use.
