Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of scoliosis, and in particular to an active reminder wearable device for scoliosis correction. Background Art

[0002] Scoliosis is a very common problem among adolescents, and poor sitting and standing postures are common. The market demand for spinal orthotics is continuing to expand. Medical institutions, rehabilitation centers, and individual consumers all have an urgent need for high-quality spinal orthotics. At the same time, with the continuous advancement of medical technology and the increasing attention consumers pay to spinal health, the application prospects of scoliosis orthotics wearable products will be broader. The principle of commonly used spinal orthotics wearable devices is basically through the adjustment of the mechanical system (such as the three-point force system, pressure dispersion and support, muscle guidance and restoration of balance), which is basically a passive restrictive adjustment. Wearing equipment requires a long time to wear, restricts trunk activity, and is bulky and uncomfortable. Of course, modern spinal orthotics technology is also constantly innovating. The prior art CN109907864A discloses a 3D printed scoliosis orthosis, which uses 3D printing technology to accurately produce orthotics that meet the needs of patients according to the specific condition and body shape characteristics of patients, so that they can better fit the human body surface and improve the personalization and rationality of treatment, but the cost is high, and the body shape of children changes greatly during their growth period, and they need to be repeatedly remade. Currently, there are wearable devices that can sense human posture and stimulate the convex side muscles through electrodes, but most of them lack portability. Others, such as three-dimensional space devices that intelligently monitor posture and movement, have high requirements for the venue and are expensive.

[0003] In summary, existing scoliosis wearable devices generally have many deficiencies in terms of comfort and compliance: 1. Passive correction, lack of initiative: Existing orthotics mostly adopt passive shaping correction methods, and patients need to wear the equipment for a long time to limit spinal movement through external force constraints. However, this method often ignores the patient's ability to actively adjust the body position. Long-term dependence on orthotics may lead to weakened muscle strength and decreased behavioral compliance, especially limiting the child's ability to move, and also has a negative impact on the development of physical strength.

[0004] 2. Poor wearing comfort and insufficient compliance: Some spinal orthopedic wearable devices may be too bulky or inconvenient to wear in design. Long-term wearing may cause discomfort or even tenderness to patients, affecting normal activities and comfort. Especially for pediatric patients, their compliance is low, further weakening the treatment effect.

[0005] 3. Lack of personalized design: Existing technologies are often designed based on general spinal correction principles, which makes it difficult to perform personalized corrections based on the specific conditions of different patients (such as the location of the curvature, severity, and body shape), affecting the accuracy and effectiveness of treatment.

[0006] 4. Dynamic correction cannot be achieved: Most existing correctors only work in a static state, and cannot monitor and adjust the patient's posture changes during exercise in a timely manner. However, correction during exercise has a stronger correction effect, so the mechanical balance and posture correction of the spine in exercise are particularly important for improving scoliosis. Summary of the invention

[0007] The present invention provides a wearable device with an active reminder function, which induces the wearer to actively adjust the body position by means of vibration, low-frequency stimulation, etc., overcomes the deficiency of passive correction in existing spinal correction equipment, and enhances the correction effect; at the same time, the wearing comfort and compliance of the device are improved, the personalized correction needs of different patients are met, and static and dynamic correction functions are taken into account, so as to realize real-time monitoring and adjustment of the patient in motion state.

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an active reminder wearable device for scoliosis correction, including a monitoring controller and a plurality of reminders covering the whole body; The monitoring controller includes an angle sensing module, a horizontal detection module and a logic processing module. The angle sensing module is used to detect the angle change of the shoulder and back detection line and the iliac crest detection line. The horizontal detection module is used to determine the position of the horizontal reference line and compare the angle change with the target angle range through the logic processing module. When it is detected that the angle of the shoulder and back line or the iliac crest detection line deviates from the target range, the logic processing module sends a signal to the corresponding reminder through the communication module. The reminder provides feedback to the wearer through vibration, low-frequency stimulation or other local stimulation methods according to the received control signal, inducing the wearer to actively adjust the body position to approach the target body position.

[0009] Preferably, the monitoring controller is arranged at the center of the lumbar spine, and a shoulder detection line is arranged at the upper end of the monitoring controller. The upper end of the shoulder detection line extends to the shoulder through the acromion line. The shoulder is provided with a shoulder fixing belt, and a shoulder positioning point is arranged at the overlapping connection between the acromion line and the shoulder fixing belt. By arranging the monitoring controller at the center of the lumbar spine and extending the shoulder detection line at the upper end, the posture changes of the shoulder and back can be accurately monitored. At the same time, the iliac crest line is extended at the lower end to monitor the inclination angle of the pelvis, effectively covering the key areas of the spine and improving the monitoring accuracy of the correction device on the overall state of the spine. The design of the shoulder fixing belt and the hip fixing belt is combined to enhance the fixation and functional stability of the device, while maintaining flexibility and wearing comfort.

[0010] Preferably, the lower end of the monitoring and regulating device extends to the hip through the iliac crest line, the hip is provided with a hip fixing belt, and an iliac crest positioning point is provided at the intersection of the iliac crest line and the hip fixing belt.

[0011] Preferably, the reminder includes a wireless reminder housing, the wireless reminder housing is provided with a built-in battery to provide power supply for internal components, a Bluetooth signal receiver receives the Bluetooth signal released by the monitoring controller, identifies and responds to the signal instruction, controls the vibrator to issue a vibration reminder in accordance with the signal instruction, or turns on the low-frequency signal generator to output low-frequency stimulation according to the instruction requirement, and the low-frequency signal generator is connected to the electrode sheet through the low-frequency output port, and the electrode sheet is used to stimulate the target muscle group. The reminder provides local stimulation through the vibrator and the low-frequency signal generator, and can flexibly adjust the stimulation mode and intensity, so that patients can easily obtain posture correction feedback in daily activities. The built-in battery and Bluetooth signal receiver of the wireless reminder housing ensure the portability and efficient signal transmission of the device, thereby improving the applicability and durability of the device.

[0012] Preferably, the monitoring controller is configured as a flat structure, which can fit the lumbar flexion of the wearer's back. The flat structure enables the monitoring controller to fit the lumbar flexion of the wearer's back, which is highly concealed and does not affect the aesthetics of daily wear, significantly improving the patient's compliance. The angle sensor, level detection module and logic processing module are all arranged in the housing of the monitoring controller to protect the internal components and hide the wear. The integrated design of the internal components ensures the functional stability and durability of the device, while reducing the bulkiness and improving the wearing comfort.

[0013] Preferably, the angle sensing module includes a built-in angle sensor 1 and an angle sensor 2, which monitor the shoulder and back deviation angle and the iliac crest deviation angle respectively. The horizontal detection module includes a built-in level sensor module and a horizontal position constructed by a gyroscope. The horizontal reference line is measured by the level sensor module, and cooperates with the gyroscope to define the horizontal line position sensed in the motion state, so that the horizontal reference line can be stably obtained under dynamic monitoring. When the posture is corrected to the neutral position, the target iliac crest baseline is parallel to the horizontal position line, the target back alignment is perpendicular to the horizontal position line, and the overcorrection position is the target line that exceeds the neutral position reference. The angle sensing module and the horizontal detection module work together to realize real-time monitoring of the shoulder and back deviation angle and the iliac crest deviation angle, dynamically obtain posture data, and ensure accurate correction in static and dynamic modes. The level sensor module and the gyroscope can stabilize the reference line in a dynamic state, thereby improving the reliability of posture monitoring during exercise.

[0014] Preferably, the logic processing module has a static correction mode and a dynamic correction mode. The static mode compares the measured angle with the target angle in real time and triggers a reminder signal according to the deviation value; the dynamic correction mode calculates the target posture adjustment signal by the average angle change value of the angle deviation in a short period of time. In the static mode, the target angle and the measured angle are compared in real time to provide accurate feedback correction, effectively improving the efficiency of static posture correction. The dynamic mode calculates the target posture adjustment signal by the average angle change in a short period of time, which can adapt to the posture changes of the patient in motion in a timely manner, making up for the shortcomings of the existing technology in dynamic correction.

[0015] Preferably, the monitoring controller and the reminder realize signal transmission through a Bluetooth module or other wireless communication methods, and the reminder includes a shoulder reminder and a waist reminder, which triggers stimulation of a specific area according to the signal.

[0016] Preferably, in static mode, the internal logic module repeatedly checks the measured angle against the target angle, and gives corresponding stimulation for different deviations until the resulting angle is within the expected angle range; in dynamic mode, the internal logic module repeatedly monitors the shoulder and back deviation angle and the iliac crest deviation angle at a high frequency, obtains the average shoulder and back deviation angle and the average iliac crest deviation angle in a short period of time, and makes logical judgments based on the target angle range, gives reminder signals as needed, and controls the four reminder points through the Bluetooth module.

[0017] Preferably, the monitoring and controller also includes a data storage module and a power supply module, which are used to record the wearer's posture data and synchronize or analyze the data with external devices through the communication module. It can record the patient's posture data and support synchronization and analysis with external devices, providing strong data support for the doctor's follow-up visit and improving the accuracy of the treatment plan; it also supports big data statistical analysis, which is convenient for patients or doctors to obtain data at any time through mobile phones or computers, and can also optimize correction plans through big data analysis to promote the development of personalized treatment.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects: The present invention, through the coordinated work of the monitoring controller and the reminder, uses reminders such as vibration and low-frequency stimulation to induce the wearer to actively adjust his body position, thereby overcoming the shortcomings of passive shaping in the prior art, enhancing the correction effect and the patient's ability to actively participate in treatment, and avoiding the problems of muscle weakness and decreased behavioral compliance caused by long-term dependence on the equipment.

[0019] The present invention has a static mode and a dynamic mode, and can monitor the spinal posture in real time when the patient is sitting, standing, and moving, and perform effective reminder-style correction after calculating the angle deviation through a logic processing module, thus making up for the deficiencies of existing technical equipment in dynamic correction capabilities and achieving comprehensive coverage of correction effects.

[0020] The present invention is lightweight and uses a flattened monitoring and control device that fits the wearer's back lumbar flexion and is hidden in clothing without affecting the appearance. The reminder is controlled by wireless connection, and is easy and flexible to install, reducing the patient's sense of restraint. Compared with the bulky or inconvenient devices in the prior art, the present invention significantly improves wearing comfort, thereby improving patient compliance.

[0021] The monitoring and controller of the present invention is equipped with an angle sensing module, a horizontal detection module and a logic processing module, which can realize accurate monitoring and adjustment according to the angle changes of the patient's shoulder and back detection line and the iliac crest detection line, support personalized correction plans, meet the specific needs of different patients, and significantly improve the accuracy and effectiveness of treatment. Compared with existing 3D printed spinal orthoses, the present invention does not require frequent replacement of equipment, and can adapt to the patient's growth and development changes by adjusting the target angle range of the monitoring and controller, thereby reducing treatment costs. At the same time, the present invention is suitable for a wide range of diseases such as different types of mild scoliosis and poor posture, and is easy to promote and popularize.

[0022] The present invention is provided with a correction mode and an over-correction mode, and the correction intensity is adjustable, which not only ensures wearing comfort but also takes into account the demand for treatment effect, and is particularly suitable for children with poor compliance but high behavioral plasticity.

[0023] Different from restrictive body shaping, the present invention induces patients to actively adjust their body position through active reminders and stimulation, thus avoiding restrictions on their mobility and even promoting the training of the muscles around the spine and the improvement of their athletic ability, which has a positive effect on the overall improvement of the patient's body shape.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The present invention will be further explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the active reminder wearable device for scoliosis correction of the present invention includes a monitoring controller 1 and multiple reminders 2.

[0033] The device mainly monitors the changes in the spinal position of children with scoliosis or poor posture by monitoring the angle changes of the two force lines 4.1 shoulder detection line and 4.2 iliac crest detection line by the monitoring controller 1 and the horizontal position of the horizontal reference line 6 constructed by the built-in level sensor module 1.6 and the gyroscope 1.14. Since various types of scoliosis will cause different angle changes of the two force lines, the spinal position can be judged by monitoring the angle changes. The monitoring controller 1 is mainly responsible for real-time monitoring of the patient's spinal posture, obtaining the angle deviation of the shoulder detection line 4.1 and the iliac crest detection line 4.2 through the angle sensor module and the horizontal detection module, and calculating the degree of deviation from the target angle range through the logic processing module 1.13. After the calculation is completed, the monitoring controller 1 sends a signal to the corresponding reminder 2 through the communication module 1.15. The reminder 2 provides local feedback by vibration, low-frequency stimulation and other methods based on the received signal, inducing the wearer to actively adjust the body position and gradually approach the target body posture.

[0034] In addition, in order to realize data monitoring and correction in dynamic state, such as Figure 6As shown, the average shoulder and back deviation angle [a (avg)] and the average iliac crest deviation angle [b (avg)] during exercise in a preset time period of 10 seconds are preset to collect 1000 instantaneous angle deviation values ​​within 10 seconds. The instantaneous collection values ​​of the shoulder and back deviation angle are: a1, a2, a3, a4...a1000, and the instantaneous collection values ​​of the iliac crest deviation angle are: b1, b2, b3, b4...b1000. At this time, the formula for the average angle deviation value in a 10-second time period is as follows: Average shoulder deviation angle [a (avg)] = (a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 + … + a1000) / 1000 Average iliac crest deviation angle [b(avg)] = (b1 + b2 + b3 + b4 + … + b1000) / 1000 The logic module of the monitoring controller determines whether it deviates from the target range based on the average deviation angle value in this time period. When it deviates from the target range, the reminder is triggered to remind you, and the monitoring time period will be postponed, and the average deviation angle of the subsequent time period will continue to be monitored and judged until the deviation value returns to the target range. This mechanism further improves the correction effect in the dynamic state.

[0035] The monitoring controller uses logic judgment to mobilize the reminder 2 to give stimulation reminders. The reminder method is to give local vibration or slapping stimulation to make the child evade to the opposite side. Repeatedly monitor whether the spinal position has reached the target position domain. If it is not, a corresponding reminder stimulation is given. If it reaches the position domain, the stimulation is stopped. Different from the working principle of traditional orthotics, this solution emphasizes that the active posture of the child tends to the target posture, and repeatedly corrects the posture by reminder stimulation to form a behavior pattern, which is reinforced to achieve the effect of posture correction.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the monitoring controller 1 is set to a flat structure, and the angle sensor, level detection module and logic processing module 1.13 are all set in the monitoring controller housing 1.4 to protect the internal components and hide the wearer. The monitoring controller is set to be flat and can fit in the lumbar flexion gap of the back, so that there is no obvious sense of rest when the child lies on the back of the chair, etc. In addition, it can be better hidden in the clothes when worn, without affecting the appearance. The monitoring controller 1 contains the following modules: Angle sensor module: It is composed of angle sensor 1 1.5 and angle sensor 2 1.12, which monitor the shoulder and back deviation angle 1.3 and the iliac crest deviation angle 1.10 respectively.

[0037] Logic processing module 1.13: It has static correction mode and dynamic correction mode, compares the target angle with the measured angle in real time, calculates the deviation value and generates an adjustment signal.

[0038] Data storage module 1.8: records the patient's body data and supports synchronization with external devices such as mobile phones or computers to facilitate doctors to analyze and optimize treatment plans.

[0039] Power module 1.7: provides power support for internal components of monitoring controller 1.

[0040] Horizontal detection module: including the level sensor module 1.6 and the gyroscope 1.14, which stabilize the horizontal reference line 6 in the dynamic state to ensure the accuracy of the data. The horizontal reference line 6 is measured by the level sensor module 1.6, and cooperates with the gyroscope 1.14 to define the horizontal reference line in the motion state, so that the horizontal reference line can be obtained stably under dynamic monitoring. When the posture is corrected to the neutral position, the target iliac crest baseline 1.9 is parallel to the horizontal line, the target back alignment 1.1 is perpendicular to the horizontal line, and the overcorrection position is the target line that exceeds the neutral position baseline. In the static mode, the internal logic module 1.13 repeatedly checks the measured angle and compares the target angle, and gives corresponding stimulation for different deviations until the result angle is within the expected angle range. In dynamic mode, the internal logic module 1.13 repeatedly monitors the shoulder deviation angle 1.3 and the iliac crest deviation angle 1.10 at a high frequency, obtains the average shoulder deviation angle and the average iliac crest deviation angle in a short period of time, and makes logical judgments based on the target angle range, gives reminder signals as needed, and controls the four reminder points through the Bluetooth module 1.15. The static mode and dynamic mode can be directly unified into the dynamic mode operation logic, eliminating the need for selection, and the principles are the same.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the reminder 2 includes a wireless reminder housing 2.1, a built-in battery 2.2, a Bluetooth signal receiver 2.6, a vibrator 2.7 and a low-frequency signal generator 2.3.

[0042] Bluetooth signal receiver 2.6: receives Bluetooth signals released by monitoring controller 1, identifies and responds to signal instructions, and can control vibrator 2.7 to send vibration reminders according to the corresponding signal instructions, or turn on low-frequency signal generator 2.3 to output low-frequency stimulation according to the instructions.

[0043] Vibrator 2.7: emits a vibration reminder signal to stimulate the patient to perceive posture deviation.

[0044] Low frequency signal generator 2.3: connected to electrode sheet 2.5 via low frequency output port 2.4, applies low frequency stimulation to target muscle groups when necessary, and enhances muscle strength and body posture adjustment ability.

[0045] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the wearer wears the device during daily activities and achieves spinal posture correction through the following steps: Wearing of the device: The monitoring controller 1 is set at the center of the lumbar spine, the shoulder detection line 4.1 extends to the shoulder and connects to the shoulder fixing belt 5.2; the iliac crest detection line 4.2 extends to the hip and connects to the hip fixing belt 5.4. The reminder 2 is fixed at the corresponding position of the shoulder and waist as required.

[0046] Angle monitoring: The monitoring controller 1 uses the angle sensor module and the horizontal detection module to obtain the angle deviation of the shoulder detection line 4.1 and the iliac crest detection line 4.2. The horizontal reference line 6 is constructed by the built-in level sensor module 1.6 and the gyroscope 1.14 to stabilize the reference under dynamic monitoring. The logic processing module 1.13 calculates the monitored angle change and determines the degree of deviation from the target angle range.

[0047] Feedback correction: When it is detected that the angle deviation exceeds the target range, the monitoring controller 1 sends a signal to the corresponding reminder 2 through the communication module 1.15. The reminder 2 provides a feedback signal through the vibrator 2.7 or the low-frequency signal generator 2.3 to induce the wearer to adjust his or her body position so that the wearer gradually approaches the target posture until the deviation value returns to the target range.

[0048] Data recording and analysis: The data storage module 1.8 of the monitoring controller 1 records the body data. The doctor can synchronize the data to an external device through the communication module 1.15 for analysis, providing a basis for subsequent treatment plans.

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, in the first embodiment, the side bending type is 3CH. After the monitoring controller 1 determines the horizontal reference line 6 through the level sensor module 1.6, it combines with the gyroscope 1.14 to stably sense the horizontal line position, such as Figure 4 As shown, this type of scoliosis has pelvic tilt. The monitoring controller 1 senses that the iliac crest detection line 4.2 is tilted to the lower right, and the reminder 2 on the left side of the waist is activated to send out vibration stimulation. The patient avoids the stimulation and adjusts the hip to tilt to the left. The monitoring controller cyclically detects the angle of the iliac crest line. If it is not within the expected angle range and is less than the target angle, the reminder 2 on the left side of the waist is stimulated. If the excessive tilt exceeds the maximum expected angle, the reminder 2 on the right side of the waist is activated to remind the patient to adjust to the right until the iliac crest angle is within the target angle range. Similarly, the shoulder and back detection line 4.1 is monitored. If the angle is biased to the right, the reminder 2 on the right side of the shoulder is activated to remind the patient to avoid the bad posture, and the right shoulder tilts downward, driving the shoulder and back detection line to shift to the left. The monitoring controller repeatedly monitors the shoulder and back detection line angle and reminds correction until the shoulder and back line is within the target range. In the sports mode, the average angle of the iliac crest line and the average angle of the shoulder and back line over a period of time are taken as the detection angle for logical operation. If the stimulation mode is selected to stimulate muscle contraction and adjust spinal deviation, the monitoring controller selects a reminder that is opposite to the stimulation point selected by the original logical judgment to emit electrical stimulation. The reminder needs to be attached to the local area with an electrode sheet.

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, in the second embodiment, the side bending type is 4C. After the monitoring controller 1 determines the horizontal reference line 6 through the level sensor module 1.6, it combines with the gyroscope 1.14 to stably sense the horizontal line position, such as Figure 5 As shown, this type of scoliosis has pelvic tilt. The monitoring controller senses that the iliac crest detection line 4.2 is tilted to the lower left, and the prompter 2 on the right side of the waist is activated to send out vibration stimulation. The patient avoids the stimulation and adjusts the hip to tilt to the right. The monitoring controller cyclically detects the angle of the iliac crest line. If it is not within the expected angle range and is less than the target angle, the prompter 2 on the right side of the waist is stimulated. If the excessive tilt exceeds the maximum expected angle, the prompter 2 on the left side of the waist is activated to remind the patient to adjust to the left until the iliac crest angle is within the target angle range. Similarly, the shoulder and back detection line is monitored. If the angle tilts to the right, the reminder 2 on the right side of the shoulder is activated to remind the patient to avoid the bad posture, and the right shoulder tilts downward, driving the shoulder and back detection line to shift to the left. The monitoring controller repeatedly monitors the shoulder and back detection line angle and reminds correction until the shoulder and back line is within the target range. In the sports mode, the average angle of the iliac crest line and the average angle of the shoulder and back line over a period of time are taken as the detection angle for logical operation. If the stimulation mode is selected to stimulate muscle contraction and adjust spinal deviation, the monitoring controller selects a reminder that is opposite to the stimulation point selected by the original logical judgment to emit electrical stimulation. The reminder needs to be attached to the local area with an electrode sheet.

[0051] The present invention has improved wearing comfort, without activity restriction and force traction; the structure is simple and easy to disassemble, light and easy to clean (the wearable item can be separated from the monitoring device for cleaning), wearing it does not affect the appearance, does not affect daily activities, and the monitoring data is concise and reliable; the spine can be corrected in both sitting, standing and motion states, and the reminder-type correction in motion state is more meaningful for correcting scoliosis; the wearable device can be adjusted according to the development and growth of the child, and there is no need to repeatedly update the equipment, saving money and effort; different from restrictive shaping, the present invention uses reminder stimulation to induce the child to actively adjust the body position and corrects the child through the idea of ​​forming a daily behavior pattern through repeated stimulation. The behavior pattern correction can become a behavioral memory, so that the child can still adjust himself after leaving the device, changing the dependence on the use of conventional correction devices, and due to the different principles, it can be applied to almost all types of scoliosis. Curvature (not suitable for those with severe scoliosis, mainly suitable for various types of mild scoliosis and poor posture); non-restrictive correction can promote the improvement of athletic ability; it can form monitoring data to facilitate research statistics and improvement, and can be considered to be used in combination with mobile phone software, and big data statistics are more convenient. In addition, since the equipment monitors daily spinal position data, it is helpful for clinical analysis of posture problems, helpful in disease research, and helpful for doctors' follow-up analysis; there are correction mode and over-correction mode settings, and the correction intensity is adjustable, which can take into account both comfort and efficacy requirements; since the applicable group who need to wear spinal correction is mainly children, combined with the characteristics of poor compliance and high behavioral plasticity of this group, this plan has applicable advantages; a muscle stimulation plan is preset, and the stimulation point can be adjusted to stimulate weak muscle parts, so there are more options for treatment plans, which is convenient for clinical selection.
