Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of joint rehabilitation, and more particularly, to a joint rehabilitation bicycle and a joint rehabilitation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common multifactorial chronic degenerative joint disease, characterized by joint stiffness, pain and decreased knee function. As the disease progresses to the late stage, patients will have severe pain, dysfunction and significant structural joint damage. KOA has a great impact on the activities of daily living (ADL) and quality of life of the elderly.

[0003] At present, Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is the only effective surgical intervention for the treatment of end-stage KOA, which can effectively relieve severe knee pain and limited activity, and replace the damaged knee joint surface with an implant to restore normal joint function, so as to achieve functional knee range of motion, which will significantly improve the patient's quality of life. Although TKA is an effective and relatively mature and safe surgery, some early postoperative complications and lack of effective functional rehabilitation exercises may hinder the achievement of these goals, including surgical site infection and postoperative knee flexion range of motion limitation, which can lead to poor prognosis and dissatisfaction of patients, and may also cause postoperative joint stiffness or prosthesis loosening and the need for revision TKA. One important aspect of receiving total knee arthroplasty is postoperative rehabilitation. In general, the purpose of rehabilitation is to restore knee function as much as possible. The recovery of postoperative knee function will affect the health and medical expenditure of patients, and for patients who have difficulty in recovering knee function, they must be discovered as soon as possible and given more rehabilitation treatment and help.

[0004] TKA can effectively relieve pain, correct deformity and improve joint function, so that some patients can participate in sports activities. Due to the different lifestyles of patients, the goals and expectations of patients receiving TKA surgery after surgery are also different. Regular exercise also has a positive effect on the rehabilitation after total joint replacement, such as improving bone density and increasing the stability of the implant. Therefore, most studies suggest that low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, cycling, bowling, sailing, diving and golf should be performed after total joint replacement, and high-impact exercises such as running, basketball, football and squash are not recommended. High-impact exercises may increase the risk of prosthesis wear, dislocation and periprosthetic fractures.

[0005] Rehabilitation exercises after TKA have an important influence on the outcome of the surgery, and standardized, scientific, and long-term rehabilitation exercises are the key to reducing postoperative complications, improving knee stability, and restoring knee function. Stationary cycling is another low-impact exercise, and the knee moments induced by cycling are small compared with other exercises or normal activities such as walking and stair climbing. Studies have shown that by quantifying the lower extremity joint and muscle loads induced by cycling on a cycle ergometer, it was found that the load moments acting on the bilateral hip, knee, and ankle axes were generally lower than those during normal walking. The hip and knee flexion were greater than during walking, while the ankle movement pattern was similar to that during walking. The varus and valgus moments acting on the anterior and posterior axes of the knee were approximately the same as those during walking. The degree of activity of the lower extremity muscles during cycling was similar to that during walking, with three major exceptions: the activity of the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis was greater during cycling than during walking, while the activation of the tibialis anterior was lower. Increasing the pedaling rate increased the activity of most muscles, but generally did not change joint loading. It is worth noting that lower extremity kinematics are significantly affected by saddle height. For example, by adjusting the saddle height, the range of motion of the hip, knee, and ankle can be increased. Increasing the saddle height allows for greater plantar flexion, thereby enhancing the training effect of specific muscle groups. Cycling can restore most of the range of motion (ROM) of the knee joint.

[0006] Stationary cycling pedals provide resistance to exercise the lower extremity muscle strength, and a complete cycling motion at an appropriate saddle height requires at least 100° of knee flexion. According to gait analysis and biomechanical studies, patients need at least 83° of flexion to go up stairs, 90°-100° to go down stairs, 93°-105° to stand up from a standard or short chair, and more than 115° to squat or kneel. Therefore, after exercising with a stationary bicycle, the knee function can basically meet the ADL of the knee function. Many studies have reported the relationship between knee kinematics and joint moments during stationary cycling in healthy volunteers and rehabilitation applications, but few studies have reported the knee loads during cycling in TKA patients. Studies have found that increasing the power of the bicycle increases the knee extension moment (KEM) and the knee abduction moment (KAbM), which has been used as a surrogate variable for the medial compartment knee load during walking and cycling.

[0007] In clinical practice, for patients after TKA, due to the replacement of the prosthesis, the joint nerve control is faced with obstacles, and the postoperative exudation, swelling, pain, muscle stiffness, low muscle strength, and narrow joint range of motion all need to be recovered and improved through certain training means. For example, pressing a certain weight (rice bag), manually assisting the patient to move the knee joint, continuous passive motion (CPM), and walking slowly on the ground, etc. The knee joint range of motion is gradually increased in the case of tolerable pain to achieve the purpose of rehabilitation. However, the method of pressing the weight has strong pain; manually assisting the patient to move the joint needs manpower and is low in efficiency; CPM can only set a fixed angle, and the movement mode is quite different from the real life scene.

[0008] Suitable bicycle settings, such as the combination setting of parameters such as seat height, crank length, handlebar height, etc., need to be adjusted according to the specific situation of the patient to enable the patient to complete the specified cycling rehabilitation training with the least pain. At the same time, the bicycle settings are gradually adjusted to enable the patient to break through the original range of motion and achieve new rehabilitation effects while tolerating a certain amount of pain. The existing power bicycle has the following problems: 1. The hardware does not support simultaneous adjustment of these bicycle setting parameters, and even if it supports the corresponding function, it leads to a complex and large device that is difficult to use frequently; 2. The corresponding setting logic is relatively professional, and ordinary doctors or patients themselves do not know how to set it. At the same time, the user's pain sensation cannot be fed back to the training device, so the gradual training process is often disconnected from the device and relies heavily on the guidance of professional personnel.

[0027] Embodiment one A joint rehabilitation bicycle, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , comprising: frame 1; handlebar 2, which is adjustably installed on frame 1, is used to provide arm support for patients; A seat 3 is adjustably mounted on the frame 1 for supporting the patient; Two sets of crank assemblies 4 are adjustably and rotatably mounted on the frame 1 for connecting the pedals 5; A touch screen 6 is mounted on the frame 1 for inputting the anthropometric data of the patient, the assessment data of the affected limb, setting and detecting the training parameters; Further comprising a control system, a power device 7 and an active feedback system mounted on the frame 1; The active feedback system is used for collecting and marking the pain data of the patient; The output end of the power device 7 is connected with the crank assemblies 4; The control system comprises a data acquisition system, a cloud platform and a controller, the data acquisition system is used for collecting the pressure applied to the seat 3, the pressure applied to the pedals 5, the knee flexion angle, the heart rate and the bicycle setting parameters; the cloud platform is provided with a database for storing the data for statistics, which associates the anthropometric data of the patient with the power device 7 parameters and the bicycle setting parameters, for recommending the rehabilitation training prescription to the patient; The touch screen 6, the power device 7, the active feedback system, the data acquisition system, the cloud platform, the crank assemblies 4 and the seat 3 are respectively in communication connection with the controller.

[0028] The above-mentioned joint rehabilitation bicycle, the bicycle setting parameters include the seat 3 position, the crank assembly 4 length, the handlebar 2 position, the training duration, the training intensity and the like; in use, the corresponding bicycle setting parameters can be obtained from the database according to the input of the anthropometric data of the patient and the assessment data of the affected limb through the touch screen 6, the rehabilitation training prescription is recommended to the patient, the height of the handlebar 2 is adjusted according to the prescription, and the position of the seat 3, the length of the crank assembly 4 and the power device 7 parameters are automatically adjusted, and in the training process, the pain data of the patient can be collected and marked by the active feedback system, the power device 7 parameters and the bicycle setting parameters are gradually adjusted, which can follow the principle of gradual progress, reduce the operation difficulty of the bicycle and the dependence on medical personnel, and enable the patient to bear the pain but obtain higher rehabilitation effect.

[0029] Specifically, the anthropometric data includes the knee joint activity, the thigh length, the calf length and the inseam length and the like of the patient, and through the kinematics or inverse kinematics method, the appropriate bicycle setting parameters can be calculated, so that the patient can cover the knee joint activity in the way of pedaling a whole circle on the bicycle, and the patient can train the joint activity in the range as large as possible with the least pain.

[0030] The active feedback system includes a facial pain expression recognition device, a pain cry recognition device, or a pain button selectable by the patient, all mounted on the frame 1 and communicating with the controller. The active feedback system can collect feedback information through one or more of these methods, including but not limited to the facial pain expression recognition device, pain cry recognition device, or pain button selectable by the patient, all mounted on the frame 1. If the active feedback system fails to collect and label the patient's pain data, and the patient can pedal a full lap without pain, then during the next training session or time period, the bicycle settings, such as the seat height 3 and crank assembly length 4, will be adjusted to increase the patient's joint mobility; or the relevant parameters of the power unit 7 will be adjusted to reduce assist or increase resistance, increasing the training difficulty and improving the patient's knee joint mobility. When a patient experiences persistent pain and marks pain points, necessitating a narrowing of joint range of motion, the active feedback system collects and marks the patient's pain data. In the next training session or time period, the system adjusts bicycle settings, such as seat height (3) and crank assembly length (4), to reduce knee joint range of motion and alleviate pain. If a full rotation is not possible, the power unit (7) parameters can be adjusted to gradually decelerate the crank assembly (4) until it stops and then reverses, preventing further pain and reducing the patient's discomfort. Patients can also actively cancel pain markings and, through their own effort, overcome pain and actively pedal to break through pain point marks and achieve a new knee joint range of motion. During resistance training, if the monitored patient's heart rate exceeds a preset threshold, the control system automatically stops power output and ends the current training to avoid cardiac risks. The heart rate threshold can be determined based on the patient's cardiac capacity, such as taking the patient's maximum heart rate (<220 - age> beats / min) and multiplying it by a certain percentage (e.g., 80%) as the preset heart rate threshold.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, wheel hubs 8 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the frame 1.
