Abstract

A functional muscle group detection device and method are disclosed. Using a chair, base, handles, and sensors mounted on a base, subjects can perform functional movements such as squats, chest presses, and deadlifts, with real-time measurement of the movement parameters generated by the applied force. The parameters received by the sensors are processed electronically and converted into standardized values ​​based on identity parameters (such as gender, age, weight, and height), thereby generating a muscle strength assessment report. This report helps analyze whether the upper and lower limb muscle groups are sufficient to support daily living needs and predicts disability and fall risks. The device is easy to operate, provides real-time image display results, and has historical data comparison capabilities, offering a comprehensive assessment of muscle group function.

Claims

1. A functional muscle group detection device, comprising a base, above which are: a chair having a non-parallel seat cushion and a backrest, the seat cushion being spaced apart from the base, and shoulder pads being provided on both sides of the backrest; at least one base plate disposed between the base and the seat cushion; at least two handlebars disposed in front of the backrest, each handlebar including a base connected to the base and an operating part connected to the base; and at least two sensors respectively connected to the at least one base plate and the at least two handlebars.

2. The functional muscle group detection device as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the operating parts is rotatably connected to the base.

3. The functional muscle group detection device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the number of the at least two handles is four, and each pair of handles is arranged as a group and correspondingly disposed on both sides of the at least two base plates, wherein each of the operating parts of one group extends from one end of each base in a direction away from the base, and each of the operating parts of the other group extends from one end of each base in a direction perpendicular to the base.

4. The functional muscle group detection device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least two sensors are connected to a processing module of an electronic device, the electronic device further comprising an operating display interface and a storage module interconnected thereto, and the processing module being connected to the operating display interface and the storage module.

5.
