Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of rehabilitation medicine technology, specifically relating to a multimodal closed-loop rehabilitation method and system for fractures oriented towards neural remodeling. Background Technology

[0002] Fractures and postoperative functional impairments are among the most common and prevalent types of motor function injuries in clinical rehabilitation medicine, especially in patients with lower limb fractures, often accompanied by gait abnormalities, muscle weakness, and neurological control imbalances. Numerous studies have shown that post-fracture motor function recovery depends not only on the bone healing process but also heavily on the plastic remodeling of motor control pathways by the central nervous system, i.e., neural remodeling. The degree of neural remodeling directly affects the quality of gait reconstruction, rehabilitation efficiency, and long-term functional prognosis.

[0003] Existing fracture rehabilitation methods mainly include passive joint mobility training, walking aids or exoskeleton-assisted training, and experience-based electrical stimulation therapy. For example, the invention patent application with publication number CN113905781A discloses a digital twin neurorehabilitation system. These methods can improve patients' motor abilities to a certain extent, but they still have certain defects: (1) The system as a whole is still mainly driven by mechanical or fixed parameters, making it difficult to achieve a continuous closed-loop operation of "assessment-decision-intervention-reassessment" in real rehabilitation training. It lacks a synchronous perception and dynamic adjustment mechanism for the patient's central nervous system status, motor intention, and peripheral execution, making it difficult to conduct refined intervention for the neural remodeling process. (2) In terms of rehabilitation control strategies, existing systems mostly adopt uniform stimulation parameters or simple staged stimulation methods. The stimulation points and intensity lack a precise correspondence with specific gait stages and key muscle group functions, making it difficult to achieve phase-specific neuromuscular regulation. This coarse-grained stimulation method is prone to introducing unnecessary muscle synergy interference in complex gait rehabilitation scenarios, affecting the pertinence and safety of rehabilitation training. (3) Existing technologies are mostly focused on parallel acquisition of single-modality or simple multimodality. However, there are many differences in patient information. For example, patients need to concentrate more when performing actions. Therefore, changes in near-infrared blood oxygenation signals are strongly correlated with muscle movements. At present, there is a lack of in-depth fusion analysis of multimodal information such as EEG, near-infrared blood oxygenation signals, electromyography, joint kinematics and plantar pressure in a unified spatiotemporal framework. It is difficult to fully depict the coupling relationship between central intention, neural compensation mechanism and peripheral motor execution. Therefore, the robustness of the system is poor.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a closed-loop rehabilitation method and system that can simultaneously collect and integrate multimodal physiological and motor information during fracture rehabilitation training, accurately identify gait movements through electromyography, pressure, and accelerometers, accurately identify changes in neural state through electroencephalography and near-infrared spectroscopy, and on this basis, realize on-demand assistance and phase-specific electrical stimulation, so as to more effectively promote the neural remodeling process and improve the quality of motor function recovery in fracture patients. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above, the purpose of this invention is to provide a multimodal fracture closed-loop rehabilitation method and system for neural remodeling. Based on the analysis of multimodal data from real-time brain-computer interaction and the real-time feedback closed-loop electrical stimulation modulation with different weights, the invention achieves synchronization of central motor commands and peripheral dynamic responses at the physical level, thereby promoting functional recovery based on the Hebbian plasticity principle.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, an embodiment provides a multimodal closed-loop rehabilitation system for fractures oriented towards neural remodeling, comprising: A multimodal closed-loop rehabilitation equipment system is used to collect multimodal data when performing rehabilitation gait movements under phase-specific electrical stimulation, including at least electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, near-infrared blood oxygenation signals, electromyography (EMG) signals, joint angular velocity signals, and foot pressure signals.

[0009] in, The score indicates the assessment of movement intention and focus. The maximum current is 1.5au, where au is the threshold value ranging from 0.1 mA to 30 mA. γ determines the smoothness and steepness of the electrical stimulation, ranging from 0.5 to 2.5. This is the first component current.

[0010] Preferably, the step of estimating the movement category and completion score based on electromyographic signals, joint angular velocity signals, and foot pressure signals includes: ω=K EMG ×X EMG +K IMU2 ×X IMU2 +K PRESSURE ×X PRESSURE Among them, K EMG K IMU2 K PRESSURE These are the weights of each feature, X. EMG X IMU2 X PRESSURE These are the normalized features of electromyography (EMG), joint angular velocity (JV), and foot pressure signals, respectively, ranging from 0 to 1. ω represents the action category and completion score, with a value between 0 and 1.

[0011] Preferably, the second current output based on the specific site scheme includes: The rehabilitation gait movements are cyclical movements, including the propulsion phase, the swing phase, and the weight-bearing support phase. The propulsion phase includes the pre-push-off phase and the push-off phase, while the weight-bearing support phase includes double support and single-leg support. The system implements on-demand auxiliary logic, and the stimulation current exhibits a phase-specific distribution. After determining the gait classification, the gastrocnemius channel is given priority for explosive stimulation during the propulsion phase, with a current intensity I2 ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 au; the tibialis anterior channel is mainly stimulated during the swing phase, with a current intensity I2 ranging from 0.6 to 0.8 au; and the quadriceps channel is mainly stimulated during the weight-bearing support phase, with a current intensity I2 ranging from 0.5 to 1.2 au, where au is a preset threshold ranging from 0.1 mA to 30 mA.

[0012] Preferably, the total current is set by using the action category and completion score as weights, combined with the first and second sub-currents, including: I = (1-ω)×I1 + ω×I2 Where ω represents the action category and completion score, I1 represents the first current component, I2 represents the second current component, and I represents the total current.

[0014] Preferably, the multimodal physiological parameter data are preprocessed, including: Multimodal data is segmented according to a preset time window, and noise removal and filtering preprocessing operations are performed on the segmented data.

[0015] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, embodiments of the present invention also provide a multimodal closed-loop rehabilitation method for fractures oriented towards neural remodeling. The method employs the aforementioned system and includes the following steps: Step 1: Collect multimodal data of the patient performing rehabilitation gait movements under phase-specific electrical stimulation through the multimodal closed-loop rehabilitation equipment system and transmit it to the software algorithm module. The multimodal data includes at least EEG signals, near-infrared blood oxygenation signals, electromyography signals, joint angular velocity signals, and foot pressure signals. Step 2: The software algorithm module preprocesses the multimodal physiological parameter data and then performs fusion analysis. Specifically, it estimates the motor intention and attention state assessment scores based on EEG signals, near-infrared blood oxygenation signals, and joint angular velocity signals. It estimates the first component current based on the motor intention and attention state assessment scores, and estimates the movement category and completion score based on EMG signals, joint angular velocity signals, and foot pressure signals. It outputs the second component current based on the phase-specific site scheme. The total current is set by using the movement category and completion score as weights and combining the first and second component currents. The system then outputs the specific treatment electrode sites and electrical stimulation treatment parameters corresponding to the current rehabilitation gait movement and feeds them back to the multimodal closed-loop rehabilitation equipment system. Step 3: The multimodal closed-loop rehabilitation equipment system applies phase-specific electrical stimulation to the corresponding electrodes at the corresponding gait stage based on the specific treatment electrode sites and electrical stimulation treatment parameters. Repeat steps 1-3 to form a closed-loop rehabilitation training process.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include at least the following: This invention achieves a synergistic assessment of a patient's central motor intention, attention state, peripheral muscle activation, and gait execution by simultaneously collecting and fusing electroencephalogram (EEG), near-infrared blood oxygenation, electromyography (EMG), joint angular velocity, and plantar pressure signals within a unified spatiotemporal framework. This comprehensively characterizes the central-peripheral neural control state during fracture rehabilitation, overcoming the problem in existing technologies where single physiological signals or mechanical parameters are insufficient to reflect the neural remodeling process.

[0017] Based on the results of multimodal fusion, a closed-loop rehabilitation control mechanism is constructed, which combines motor intention assessment, motor completion score and adaptive adjustment of electrical stimulation parameters. This allows electrical stimulation to intervene only when central motor commands are detected but peripheral execution is insufficient, achieving real-time closed-loop operation of "assessment-decision-intervention-reassessment". This effectively avoids over-assistance and promotes neural plasticity remodeling and functional recovery.

[0018] By introducing a phase-specific electrical stimulation strategy oriented towards the gait cycle, precise timing and intensity matching stimulation control is implemented for key muscle groups at different gait stages. This highly couples neural stimulation with actual motor function needs, improving the pertinence, safety, and efficiency of rehabilitation training, and is beneficial for improving the quality of gait reconstruction and long-term motor function prognosis in fracture patients.

[0024] The EEG-Near-Infrared Oxygen Signal Acquisition Module is a headband consisting of a near-infrared emitting area 201, EEG electrodes 202, and a near-infrared receiving area 203, which the patient wears on the frontal lobe. The EEG electrodes 202 are made of one of the following metals: stainless steel, copper, gold, silver, aluminum, and titanium, or an alloy of at least two metals, preferably stainless steel. The near-infrared emitting area 201 is a light-emitting diode, and the near-infrared receiving area 203 is a photodiode. The number of EEG signals is 2 to 10 channels, for example, 2 channels, and the number of near-infrared signals is 2 to 10 channels, for example, 8 channels.

[0025] The electromyography (EMG) acquisition module corresponds to an array of paired small electrodes, numbering 8 to 200; the electrical stimulation module corresponds to an array of large electrodes surrounding the EMG acquisition sites, numbering 4 to 100. These electrical stimulation points target key muscle groups from the quadriceps and hamstrings on the thigh side to the tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius on the calf side.

[0026] The electrode array is structurally designed to include a first insulating layer, a first conductive layer disposed on the first insulating layer, a second insulating layer disposed above the first conductive layer, and a second conductive layer disposed above the second insulating layer. The second insulating layer does not cover the electrode disk area, and the second conductive layer is directly connected to the first conductive layer, covering only the disk area. The first and second insulating layers are made of non-stretchable polymer materials with a thickness of 1 μm to 1 mm.

Figure 5 As shown, it includes at least five categories: electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, near-infrared blood oxygenation signals, electromyography (EMG) signals, joint angular velocity signals, and foot pressure signals. The number of sub-parameters for each category ranges from 10 to 200. Specifically, each category has 10 sub-parameters: EEG_PSD; near-infrared: ΔHbO, ΔHbT; EMG: RMS, MDF, MPF; accelerometer: ACC_X, ACC_Y, ACC_Z; and pressure. The sub-parameters are input into the software algorithm module 208 after segmentation. The software algorithm module 208 outputs the completion score of each movement in real time based on the multimodal data of the healthy side and adjusts the electrical stimulation treatment parameters according to the score.

[0030] In this embodiment, the patient alternates between wearing the multimodal closed-loop rehabilitation equipment system to perform rehabilitation gait movements. These gait movements are periodic, including a propulsion phase, a swing phase, and a weight-bearing support phase. The propulsion phase includes the pre-push-off phase and the push-off phase, while the weight-bearing support phase includes double support and single-leg support. Figure 4 As shown.

[0031] In this embodiment, the software algorithm module 208 is used to preprocess the multimodal physiological parameter data. Specifically, the received multimodal data is segmented according to a preset time window, and preprocessing operations such as noise removal and filtering are performed on the segmented data. Then, the preprocessed data is fused and analyzed, specifically including: (1) Estimate the motor intention and attention state assessment score based on EEG signal, near-infrared blood oxygen signal and joint angular velocity signal, and estimate the first current based on the motor intention and attention state assessment score.

[0032] In this embodiment, the assessment score for motor intention and attention state is estimated based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, near-infrared blood oxygenation signals, and joint angular velocity signals, including: S attn =K IMU ×(1-X IMU )+K EEG ×X EEG +K fNIRS ×X fNIRS Among them, K IMU =0.5, K EEG =0.25, K fNIRS =0.25 is the weight of each feature, X IMU X EEG and X fNIRS These are the normalized characteristics of joint angular velocity signals, electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, and near-infrared blood oxygenation signals, respectively, ranging from 0 to 1; S attn The assessment scores the participants’ intention to move and their level of focus, ranging from 0 to 1.

This represents the percentage of HbO2 concentration at the k-th sampling point.

[0034] The first fractional current was also estimated based on the assessment scores of motor intention and focus. ,include:

[0035] in, The score indicates the assessment of movement intention and focus. The maximum current is 1.5au, where au is the threshold value, ranging from 0.1 mA to 30 mA. γ determines the smoothness or steepness of the electrical stimulation, ranging from 0.5 to 2.5.

[0036] (2) Estimate the movement category and completion score based on electromyographic signals, joint angular velocity signals and foot pressure signals, and output the second current based on the phase-specific site scheme.

[0037] The embodiment estimates the movement category and completion score based on electromyographic signals, joint angular velocity signals, and foot pressure signals, including: ω=K EMG ×X EMG +K IMU2 ×X IMU2 +K PRESSURE ×X PRESSURE Among them, K EMG =0.6, K IMU2 =0.2, K PRESSURE =0.2 represents the weights of each feature, X EMG X IMU2 X PRESSURE These are the normalized features of electromyography (EMG), joint angular velocity (JV), and foot pressure signals, respectively, ranging from 0 to 1. ω represents the action category and completion score, with a value between 0 and 1.

[0038] The EMG parameter is the RMS value, X EMG = min (max (X EMG,norm , 0), 1), , , , where N EMG The number of sampling points within a 1-second window, ranging from 500 to 160,000; Gait IMU parameters are for stability, X IMU2 = min (max (X IMU2,norm , 0), 1), , ,in, , ,in, The gait angle value at the k-th sampling point. This is the average value of 200 angle sampling points.

[0040] The embodiment also provides a phase-specific site scheme that combines the actions at different stages, specifically including: the system implements on-demand auxiliary logic, the stimulation current exhibits a phase-specific distribution, after determining the classification of each gait, during the propulsion phase, the gastrocnemius channel is given priority for explosive stimulation, with a current intensity I2 ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 au; during the swing phase, the tibialis anterior channel is mainly stimulated, with a current intensity I2 ranging from 0.6 to 0.8 au; during the weight-bearing support phase, the quadriceps channel is mainly stimulated, with a current intensity I2 ranging from 0.5 to 1.2 au.

[0041] (3) The total current is set by using the action category and completion score as weights and combining the first and second sub-currents. The specific treatment electrode sites and electrical stimulation treatment parameters corresponding to the current rehabilitation gait are fed back to the multimodal closed-loop rehabilitation system equipment to control the corresponding electrodes to apply phase-specific electrical stimulation.

[0042] The embodiment uses the action category and completion score ω as weights to set the total current I, which includes the first component current I1 and the second component current I2. I = (1-ω)×I1 + ω×I2 Then, electrical stimulation therapy parameters are output based on the total current. These parameters include the current amplitude, frequency, and duty cycle. The amplitude is determined by the total current, the frequency is adjustable from 20Hz to 40Hz, and the duty cycle is adjustable from 10% to 60%, set during initialization. It should also be noted that the initial electrical stimulation parameters for the healthy side are adjusted based on the patient's sensory threshold, while the initial electrical stimulation parameters for the affected side are adjusted based on the action trigger threshold. Both thresholds are preset.

[0043] While outputting electrical stimulation treatment parameters, it also outputs specific treatment electrode sites corresponding to the current rehabilitation gait movement. These treatment electrode sites are determined according to the phase-specific site scheme.

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, the embodiment also provides a multimodal closed-loop rehabilitation method for fractures oriented towards neural remodeling. The method uses the above-described system and includes the following steps: S1, the multimodal data of the patient performing rehabilitation gait movements under phase-specific electrical stimulation is collected by the multimodal closed-loop rehabilitation equipment system and transmitted to the software algorithm module. The multimodal data includes at least electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, near-infrared blood oxygenation signals, electromyography (EMG) signals, joint angular velocity signals, and foot pressure signals. S2, the software algorithm module preprocesses the multimodal physiological parameter data and then performs fusion analysis, comprehensively outputting the specific treatment electrode sites and electrical stimulation treatment parameters corresponding to the current rehabilitation gait movement and feeding them back to the multimodal closed-loop rehabilitation equipment system; S3, the multimodal closed-loop rehabilitation equipment system applies phase-specific electrical stimulation to the corresponding electrodes at the corresponding gait stage based on the specific therapeutic electrode sites and electrical stimulation parameters.

[0045] Under phase-specific electrical stimulation, patients undergo active rehabilitation gait training. During the active rehabilitation training, multimodal physiological and motor data are collected simultaneously. Steps S1-S3 are repeated to form a closed-loop rehabilitation training process.

[0046] In the specific experiment, the result was determined as follows: during the propulsion period, S attn =0.5, γ=1, ω=0.8, au =30mA, I max=45mA, I1=22.5mA, I2=30mA; therefore, for this movement, the electrical stimulation points are targeted at the key muscle groups of the gastrocnemius muscle; the initial electrical stimulation parameters are set as follows: healthy side: amplitude: 5mA, frequency: 15Hz, duty cycle: 50%; affected side: amplitude: 28.5mA, frequency: 15Hz, duty cycle: 60%. Here, the healthy side is the side with the disease, and the affected side is the side with the disease. The initial electrical stimulation parameters of the healthy side are adjusted according to the patient's sensory threshold, and the initial electrical stimulation parameters of the affected side are adjusted according to the movement trigger threshold. Figure 7 The illustration shows a comparison of the thigh circumference difference between the affected and unaffected sides after training with the system provided in the embodiment. Initially (before training), the thigh circumferences of the two patients were similar on both sides. After two months, the patient trained using the method described in the embodiment showed a significant reduction in the thigh circumference difference between the affected and unaffected sides, demonstrating the rehabilitation effect of this method.

[0047] The above method integrates real-time analysis of multimodal brain-computer interface data, sets key stimulation sites based on the real-time status of rehabilitation movements at different stages, and adjusts the intensity of electrical stimulation based on the patient's movement intentions, in order to achieve relevant neural remodeling and improve the rehabilitation effect of patients after fracture.

[0048] The specific embodiments described above illustrate the technical solution and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only the most preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, additions, and equivalent substitutions made within the scope of the principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

9. A multimodal closed-loop rehabilitation method for fractures oriented towards neural remodeling, characterized in that, The method employs the system described in any one of claims 1-8 and includes the following steps: Step 1: Collect multimodal data of the patient performing rehabilitation gait movements under phase-specific electrical stimulation through the multimodal closed-loop rehabilitation equipment system and transmit it to the software algorithm module. The multimodal data includes at least EEG signals, near-infrared blood oxygenation signals, electromyography signals, joint angular velocity signals, and foot pressure signals. Step 2: The software algorithm module preprocesses the multimodal physiological parameter data and then performs fusion analysis. Specifically, it estimates the motor intention and attention state assessment scores based on EEG signals, near-infrared blood oxygenation signals, and joint angular velocity signals. It estimates the first component current based on the motor intention and attention state assessment scores, and estimates the movement category and completion score based on EMG signals, joint angular velocity signals, and foot pressure signals. It outputs the second component current based on the phase-specific site scheme. The total current is set by using the movement category and completion score as weights and combining the first and second component currents. The system then outputs the specific treatment electrode sites and electrical stimulation treatment parameters corresponding to the current rehabilitation gait movement and feeds them back to the multimodal closed-loop rehabilitation equipment system. Step 3: The multimodal closed-loop rehabilitation equipment system applies phase-specific electrical stimulation to the corresponding electrodes at the corresponding gait stage based on the specific treatment electrode sites and electrical stimulation treatment parameters. Repeat steps 1-3 to form a closed-loop rehabilitation training process.
