Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medical technology, and in particular relates to an osteoarthritis rehabilitation assisting device and system. Background Art

[0002] Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common, chronic, degenerative joint disease characterized by degeneration of articular cartilage, synovial inflammation, and bone hyperplasia, leading to joint pain, stiffness, and dysfunction. Traditional treatments include medications (NSAIDs, steroid injections, etc.). Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can relieve pain and inflammation, but long-term use may cause side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding and liver and kidney damage. Intra-articular glucocorticoid injections can provide short-term symptom relief but may accelerate articular cartilage degeneration. Physical therapy (thermal therapy, ultrasound, low-frequency electrical stimulation, etc.) Traditional thermal therapy (such as hot compresses and infrared light) only provides temporary pain relief and does not significantly improve joint function. Low-frequency electrical stimulation (EMS / TENS) can relieve muscle tension but does not directly improve cartilage metabolism. Surgical treatments (arthroscopy, joint replacement) are suitable for patients with severe arthritis, but they are expensive, carry significant risks, and are associated with postoperative infection and prosthetic wear.

[0003] Through the above analysis, the problems and defects of the existing technology are as follows:

[0004] (1) Drug treatment (NSAIDs, hormone injections, etc.) Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can relieve pain and inflammation, but long-term use may cause side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding and liver and kidney damage. Intra-articular injection of glucocorticoids can relieve symptoms in the short term, but may accelerate articular cartilage degeneration.

[0005] (2) Physical therapy (heat therapy, ultrasound, low-frequency electrical stimulation, etc.) Traditional heat therapy (such as hot compresses and infrared rays) can only temporarily relieve pain and cannot deeply improve joint function. Although low-frequency electrical stimulation (EMS / TENS) can relieve muscle tension, it cannot directly improve cartilage metabolism.

[0006] (3) Surgical treatment (arthroscopy, joint replacement) is suitable for patients with severe arthritis, but it is expensive, has high surgical risks, and is prone to problems such as postoperative infection and prosthetic wear. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Intelligent vibration therapy module, pressure sensor and biofeedback module, intelligent control and APP remote management module, pressure sensor, accelerometer, electromyography sensor;

[0010] The intelligent vibration therapy module is connected to the pressure sensor and biofeedback module, and the intelligent control and APP remote management module. It uses mechanical vibration at a specific frequency of 10100Hz to promote cartilage cell metabolism and stimulate joint fluid secretion. It combines longitudinal and transverse dual-mode vibration to improve the uniformity of stimulation of the tissues around the joints.

[0011] The pressure sensor and biofeedback module are connected to the intelligent vibration therapy module and the intelligent control and APP remote management module for pressure detection and biofeedback;

[0012] The intelligent control and APP remote management module is connected to the intelligent vibration therapy module, pressure sensor and biofeedback module, and is used for Bluetooth / WiFi connection to the mobile phone APP. Patients can independently control the vibration intensity, mode, and treatment duration; AI algorithm personalization adjustment optimizes the treatment plan based on real-time feedback from patients.

[0013] Furthermore, the pressure sensor and biofeedback module includes: a pressure sensor, an accelerometer, and an electromyography sensor.

[0014] Furthermore, the pressure sensor detects the joint load status and intelligently adjusts the vibration frequency and intensity.

[0015] Furthermore, the accelerometer analyzes the patient's movement patterns and provides personalized treatment plans.

[0016] Furthermore, the electromyographic sensor detects muscle activity around joints and optimizes treatment parameters.

[0017] Another object of the present invention is to provide an osteoarthritis rehabilitation auxiliary method comprising:

[0018] Step 1: The intelligent vibration therapy module uses mechanical vibrations at a specific frequency of 10100Hz to promote cartilage cell metabolism and stimulate joint fluid secretion. It also combines longitudinal and transverse dual-mode vibrations to improve the uniformity of stimulation to the tissues surrounding the joints.

[0019] Step 2: pressure detection and biofeedback by the pressure sensor and biofeedback module;

[0020] Step 3: The intelligent control and APP remote management module uses Bluetooth / WiFi to connect to the mobile phone APP, allowing patients to independently control the vibration intensity, mode, and treatment duration; the AI algorithm is adjusted individually and optimizes the treatment plan based on the patient's real-time feedback.

[0021] Another object of the present invention is to provide a computer device, comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by the processor, the processor performs the steps of the osteoarthritis rehabilitation assistance method.

[0022] Another object of the present invention is to provide a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform the steps of the osteoarthritis rehabilitation assisting method.

[0023] Another object of the present invention is to provide an information data processing terminal, which is used to implement the osteoarthritis rehabilitation auxiliary device.

[0024] In combination with the above technical solutions and the technical problems solved, the advantages and positive effects of the technical solutions to be protected by the present invention are as follows:

[0025] The intelligent vibration therapy system proposed in this paper uses mechanical vibrations at a specific frequency (10-100Hz) to act on the soft tissue, cartilage, and bone around joints, leveraging their biomechanical effects to achieve precise treatment for osteoarthritis (OA) and other joint diseases. Combined with an intelligent biofeedback system, it provides personalized, remotely managed, non-invasive treatment options.

[0026] This invention uses vibration to stimulate sensory nerve endings, reducing pain signal transmission while also inhibiting inflammatory factors (IL1β and TNFα), reducing joint inflammation. Experimental data showed that after four weeks of treatment, patients' VAS pain scores decreased by approximately 50%, significantly improving pain tolerance.

[0027] Vibration stimulates joint fluid secretion, improves cartilage lubrication, and reduces friction between cartilages, thereby improving joint mobility. Data show that after six weeks of treatment, joint range of motion (ROM) increases by approximately 30%, enhancing patients' ability to perform daily activities.

[0028] Low-frequency vibration (1030Hz) stimulates chondrocyte activity, increases the secretion of type II collagen and hyaluronic acid, strengthens the cartilage matrix, and slows the rate of cartilage degeneration. The experimental group saw an increase in cartilage thickness of approximately 15%, and the progression of the disease was slowed.

[0029] The biofeedback system of the present invention monitors key parameters such as electromyography, pressure distribution, and joint angles in real time, and combines AI intelligent control to automatically adjust vibration frequency and intensity to ensure personalized treatment effects and prevent over-treatment or under-treatment.

[0030] Unlike drug treatments that may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, liver and kidney burden, and the high cost of physical therapy, this system provides non-invasive vibration therapy that is non-invasive, safe, and has no side effects, and can be used by patients for a long time.

[0031] The system supports Bluetooth / WiFi connectivity with a smart app, allowing patients to receive treatment at home without frequent trips to the hospital.

[0039] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, an osteoarthritis rehabilitation assisting device and system provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0041] Intelligent vibration therapy module 1, pressure sensor and biofeedback module 2, intelligent control and APP remote management module 3, pressure sensor 4, accelerometer 5, electromyography sensor 6;

[0042] The intelligent vibration therapy module 1 is connected to the pressure sensor and biofeedback module 2 and the intelligent control and app remote management module 3. It uses mechanical vibration at a specific frequency of 10100Hz to promote cartilage cell metabolism and stimulate joint fluid secretion. It also combines longitudinal and transverse dual-mode vibration to improve the uniformity of stimulation of the tissues around the joints.

[0043] The pressure sensor and biofeedback module 2 is connected to the intelligent vibration therapy module 1 and the intelligent control and APP remote management module 3 for pressure detection and biofeedback;

[0044] The intelligent control and APP remote management module 3 is connected to the intelligent vibration therapy module 1 and the pressure sensor and biofeedback module 2, and is used for Bluetooth / WiFi connection to the mobile phone APP. Patients can independently control the vibration intensity, mode, and treatment duration; the AI algorithm is personalized and optimized based on the patient's real-time feedback.

[0045] The pressure sensor and biofeedback module 2 provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes: a pressure sensor 4 , an accelerometer 5 , and an electromyographic sensor 6 .

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the pressure sensor 4 provided by the embodiment of the present invention:

[0047] S101 detects joint load status and intelligently adjusts vibration frequency and intensity.

[0048] The accelerometer 5 provided in the embodiment of the present invention analyzes the patient's movement pattern and provides a personalized treatment plan.

[0049] The myoelectric sensor 6 provided in the embodiment of the present invention detects muscle activity around joints and optimizes treatment parameters.

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, an osteoarthritis rehabilitation auxiliary method provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0051] The S201 uses a 10100Hz specific frequency mechanical vibration through the intelligent vibration therapy module to promote cartilage cell metabolism and stimulate joint fluid secretion. It also combines longitudinal and transverse dual-mode vibration to improve the uniformity of stimulation of the tissues around the joints.

[0052] S202, pressure detection and biofeedback by pressure sensor and biofeedback module;

[0053] S203, the intelligent control and APP remote management module uses Bluetooth / WiFi to connect to the mobile phone APP, allowing patients to independently control the vibration intensity, mode, and treatment duration; the AI algorithm is adjusted individually and optimizes the treatment plan based on the patient's real-time feedback.

[0054] Articular cartilage is a typical low-metabolism hyaline cartilage. Faced with the limitation that conventional physical therapy equipment only provides single-directional low-frequency kneading or heat conduction, its extracellular matrix renewal rate and synovial fluid viscoelasticity cannot be continuously improved. In addition, the shear stress distribution is uneven, and it often falls into a decline cycle after a short period of pain relief. The present invention accurately locks the narrowband excitation range within the 10-100Hz mechanical resonance window through systematic regression analysis of the knee joint load-spectrum coupling characteristics, and then outputs a programmable quasi-sine wave in a piezoelectric direct drive mode. By maintaining a 10Hz micro-resolution through synchronous resonance tracking, the Piezo1-Ca 2+ The mechanical transduction pathway can also be fully activated at the osteophyte boundary, significantly enhancing the transcription efficiency of type II collagen and chondroitin sulfate.

[0055] To avoid the imbalance of stress gradients in deep and shallow layers caused by traditional unidirectional vibration, the device incorporates longitudinal compressive and transverse tangential actuation units at 90° to each other. Real-time phase compensation is achieved, allowing the two vectors to be evenly superimposed around the entire circumference in the time domain. This design not only creates more uniform contact stress on the joint capsule and ligament surfaces but also circumferentially enhances soft tissue microcirculation, successfully avoiding secondary inflammatory reactions induced by focal shear peaks and laying a stable mechanical foundation for a closed-loop rehabilitation system.

[0056] The pressure-biofeedback system utilizes a 64×64 flexible MEMS piezoresistive array in conjunction with a fiber-optic Bragg sensor to capture ligament surface contact pressure, microdisplacement, and subcutaneous microcirculatory perfusion surrogate signals in real time at a 1kHz sampling frequency. After wavelet-domain threshold denoising, high-dimensional features such as peak-to-valley load, alternating spectrum, and perfusion index are extracted to form a multimodal input for the back-end decision model. This signal not only ensures soft tissue safety limiting but also provides precise state variables for adaptive control.

[0057] The algorithm layer is centered on a sequential decision network, mapping the vibration amplitude, duty cycle, and the patient's subjective NRS pain score into Markov states. The strategy gradient is combined with iterative optimization of the safety constraint function to enable the system to approach the "maximum synovial fluid production-minimum pain" solution domain in the steady state. At the same time, the EMG-MMG mixed signal is used to distinguish muscle fatigue and inflammatory response, and the model weights are dynamically corrected during joint range of motion training to ensure that the stimulus-load ratio is always within the patient's individual tolerance threshold throughout the entire treatment course.

[0058] Data and control links are established via BLE 5.3 and dual-band Wi-Fi 6 low-latency protocols. The edge MCU pushes unencrypted, high-sampled data streams to the mobile app and a FHIR-compliant cloud database. Patients can adjust treatment curves based on their scenarios in the app, while physicians can instantly view outcome indicators and issue parameter templates through the web console. TLS 1.3 + OAuth 2.0 encryption is used throughout the end-to-cloud process to meet the dual compliance requirements of HIPAA and the Personal Information Protection Act.

[0059] The system hardware is based on a RISC-V SoC, integrating 4MB of SRAM and 16GB of eMMC. Upon power-up, the bootloader loads the vibration-feedback-control program stored in computer-readable storage media. The MCU drives the actuators, collects sensor data, and executes policy updates according to a pre-set real-time task schedule. All of this logic is ultimately packaged within an integrated wearable brace, addressing the technical bottlenecks of existing devices, such as uneven stimulation distribution, lack of real-time monitoring, and inability to adjust individualized controls. This creates a novel hardware-software-coupled osteoarthritis rehabilitation solution.

[0060] The present invention uses low-frequency mechanical vibrations of 1030Hz to significantly stimulate chondrocytes, enhancing their ability to secrete type II collagen and hyaluronic acid. These components are key substances for maintaining joint lubrication and cartilage elasticity, reducing joint stiffness and improving mobility.

[0061] Experimental data: After 4 weeks of low-frequency vibration therapy in 50 patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), cartilage metabolism markers (type II collagen synthesis rate) increased by approximately 28% compared with the control group, the hyaluronic acid concentration in the synovial fluid increased by approximately 35%, and the patients' joint flexibility improved by more than 20%.

[0062] High-frequency mechanical vibrations can act on the subchondral bone, increasing local blood flow and nutrient supply, thereby enhancing bone cell activity and reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Because cartilage lacks a blood vessel supply, its metabolism relies on the support of the subchondral bone microcirculation. The 50-100 Hz high-frequency vibrations used in this invention can activate osteoblasts and inhibit osteoclasts through the bone cell mechanoreceptor signaling pathway, maintaining joint health.

[0063] Experimental data: The study found that patients who used high-frequency vibration therapy for 6 consecutive weeks had a 15% increase in bone density (BMD) compared with the control group, and a 23% increase in serum bone morphogenetic protein (BMP2) level, effectively preventing articular cartilage degeneration and osteoporosis progression.

[0064] Joint inflammation is the primary pathological process in osteoarthritis and synovitis. Excessive release of inflammatory factors (IL1β, TNFα) can lead to joint swelling and increased pain. The mechanical vibration of the present invention can inhibit the expression of inflammatory factors while promoting the release of anti-inflammatory factors (IL10, TGFβ), reducing the inflammatory response.

[0065] Experimental data: Clinical experiments have shown that patients who received 10Hz vibration therapy had their IL1β and TNFα levels decreased by approximately 40%, while the level of the anti-inflammatory factor IL10 increased by approximately 30%, effectively alleviating synovial inflammation and joint swelling, and reducing patients' dependence on analgesics.

[0066] Mechanical vibration not only acts on cartilage, but also activates the muscles around the joint (such as the quadriceps and hamstrings), improving muscle contraction and thus enhancing joint stability. Stable joint load distribution helps reduce cartilage stress and reduce the risk of wear.

[0067] Experimental data: In a study of patients with knee instability, after 4 weeks of vibration therapy, quadriceps muscle strength increased by approximately 25%, and electromyographic (EMG) activity increased by 18%, effectively reducing the probability of joint dislocation and pain recurrence.

[0068] The present invention uses intelligent monitoring modules such as pressure sensors, electromyography sensors (EMG), and accelerometers to evaluate the patient's joint load and muscle status in real time, and combines AI algorithms to automatically adjust the vibration frequency and intensity to achieve personalized treatment.

[0069] Pressure sensor: monitors the patient's joint load during treatment to ensure that the vibration intensity is within a safe range and avoid overstimulation.

[0070] Electromyography (EMG): Analyzes the activity of muscles around joints to ensure that muscles are fully activated and prevent overstrain.

[0071] AI intelligent control: Based on real-time patient feedback, the vibration frequency and intensity are dynamically adjusted, and personalized treatment plans are combined to optimize the effect.

[0072] Patients can control treatment parameters through a remote management system using a smart app and upload daily treatment data to the cloud. Doctors can remotely monitor patients' progress and make personalized adjustments. This model improves patient compliance, avoids the inconvenience of frequent doctor visits, optimizes treatment plans, and enhances long-term recovery outcomes.

[0073] Experimental data: In the remote rehabilitation management experimental group, the patient compliance rate increased by 40%, compared with traditional rehabilitation methods, the pain score (VAS score) decreased by about 50%, the joint range of motion recovery rate increased by 30%, and medical resource consumption decreased by 25%.

[0074] The intelligent vibration therapy system of the present invention provides a non-invasive, safe and efficient rehabilitation treatment plan for patients with osteoarthritis and joint injuries through mechanical vibration of specific frequency, inflammation regulation, muscle activation and biofeedback intelligent adjustment.

[0075] Improve cartilage health: Low-frequency vibration promotes cartilage repair, improves lubrication, and reduces joint stiffness.

[0076] Enhance bone density: High-frequency vibration improves subchondral bone microcirculation and prevents osteoporosis.

[0077] Reduce inflammatory response: Vibration regulates inflammatory factors, reducing pain and joint swelling.

[0078] Improve joint stability: Vibration activates muscles, increases muscle strength and reduces joint stress.

[0079] Personalized intelligent adjustment: The biofeedback system dynamically adjusts the treatment plan to improve safety and efficacy.

[0080] Remote monitoring to improve compliance: Through APP remote management, doctors can monitor patients' recovery progress in real time and improve long-term treatment effects.

[0081] The present invention can not only be widely used in hospitals and rehabilitation centers, but also as a home rehabilitation device to help patients complete daily treatment at home, improve joint health, and reduce the impact of chronic diseases on quality of life.
