[0035] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0036] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes a vibrating wristband for treating tremor, its control method, storage medium, and product, according to embodiments of this application. Addressing the problems mentioned in the background section, this application provides a vibrating wristband for treating tremor. By monitoring the hand's movement state in real time, the wristband transmits the movement state signals collected by the acquisition unit to the control unit. The control unit adjusts the stimulation parameters according to the movement state and transmits the new stimulation parameters to the execution unit to stimulate the target location, thereby better treating tremor. Simultaneously, utilizing the principle of neural plasticity, regular and targeted stimulation can encourage the nervous system to establish new feedback pathways or improve existing feedback signals, thus achieving long-term symptom improvement. This solves the problems of poor efficacy of drug treatment, high risks and significant side effects of deep brain stimulation surgery, and poor comfort and ergonomics of vibrating gloves in related technologies.

[0037] Specifically, Figure 1 is a block diagram of a vibration wristband for treating tremors according to an embodiment of this application.

[0038] As shown in Figure 1, the wearable device 10 for treating tremor includes: a wristband body, an execution unit 101, a data acquisition unit 102, and a control unit 103.

[0039] The execution unit 101 is used to apply a therapeutic vibration action to the target position corresponding to the vibration bracelet; the acquisition unit 102 is used to acquire the motion state signal of the target position and the motor cortex electroencephalogram of the human body; the control unit 103 generates target vibration parameters based on the motion state signal and the motor cortex electroencephalogram of the human body, and adjusts the therapeutic vibration action applied by the execution unit 101 according to the target vibration parameters.

[0040] In this embodiment, the acquisition unit 102 may include at least one of an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and an inertial measurement unit. The execution unit 101 may include a vibration unit, wherein the vibration unit is connected to the control unit 103. The target vibration parameters include the vibration frequency and vibration amplitude of a single vibration unit, and the time sequence interval and spatial position distribution of multiple vibration units.

[0041] Understandably, the cerebellum is a key component of the brain, primarily responsible for coordinating and regulating body movement, as well as learning and optimizing movement. Different parts of the cerebellum contain both the forward transmission of motor commands in the motor control system and information in the feedback loop. Sensory input is transmitted to the cerebellum for the implementation and control of fine motor skills. The hand, as the end point of motor output and the beginning point of sensory input, transmits sensory signals step by step to brain regions such as the cerebellum, acting as a feedback loop to regulate motor control.

[0042] The target location for the therapeutic tremor applied by the actuator 101 can be the tendons of the wrist or hand, as shown in Figure 2. The pathway is highlighted in bold in the figure. The vibrating bracelet stimulates the tendons of the wrist or hand, generating sensory input. This input is transmitted step-by-step along the muscle spindles and sensory neurons to the spinal cord, from which the spinal cord transmits the proprioceptive signal to the cerebellum. The wrist tendons, as the primary source of proprioceptive feedback, can serve as target stimulation points for regulating feedback motor control. There are twenty-four wrist tendons, nine of which and the median nerve reside within the carpal tunnel. The index, middle, ring, and little fingers each have two superficial flexor tendons and two deep flexor tendons. These tendons converge at the wrist from the fingertips to the palm, connecting to the forearm muscles. Vibration stimulation of the wrist tendons can alter the proprioceptive feedback input, modulating the cerebellum's feedback loop in fine motor control.

[0043] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3, the execution unit 101 in this embodiment outputs specific vibration parameters, which act on the wearer's hand skin in the form of mechanical waves. These waves are transmitted to the tendons and muscle spindles, generating proprioceptive signals that are transmitted to sensory neurons. The sensory neurons then transmit these signals to the spinal cord, which in turn transmits them to the cerebellum. Based on the proprioceptive signals and motor commands, the cerebellum outputs motor correction signals, which are then transmitted to the muscles via the spinal cord and motor neurons. Secondly, the EEG (Electroencephalogram) in this embodiment records the brain's electrical activity. By placing multiple electrodes on the scalp to measure the potential changes generated by neurons in the cerebral cortex, the functional state of the brain's internal neural networks is reflected, thereby generating an EEG. This EEG is used to monitor changes in the patient's brain electrical activity before and after stimulation therapy. Based on the EEG and the collected motor state signals, the intensity or mode of stimulation output by the treatment device is adjusted to achieve the best therapeutic effect.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the application, the acquisition unit 102 can acquire motion state signals (including at least one of the acceleration, velocity, position and frequency of the body part) and the motor cortex electroencephalogram (EEG) of the human body at the target position corresponding to the vibration bracelet, and output them to the control unit 103 to generate target vibration parameters. The target vibration parameters are then sent to the execution unit 101 to output to the human body, thereby realizing a closed-loop vibration therapy tremor scheme based on proprioceptive feedback control.

[0045] Therefore, sensory input from the hands can regulate motor control, bringing the systemic instability of tremor back to a stable state. At the same time, neurons have plasticity, and the changes to the brain network after wearing the bracelet for a long time (more than two weeks) are long-term. Therefore, stopping the use of the bracelet after wearing it for a long time (more than two weeks) will not cause a rebound in the relief of tremor symptoms, thus achieving a therapeutic effect.

[0046] The vibration wristband of this application embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the wristband example diagrams shown in Figures 4-6. Figure 4 shows the front view of the wristband, Figure 5 shows the side view of the wristband, and Figure 6 shows the cross-sectional view of the wristband. Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, the acquisition unit 102 and the control unit 103 are integrated into one unit, collectively referred to as the control and sensing unit 1 on the wristband. The execution unit 101 is represented as the execution unit 3 on the wristband. The wristband 2 contains vibration units embedded in the wristband 2, as shown in the inner circle of the wristband in Figure 4. The specific arrangement of these vibration units is determined based on the patient's symptoms and diagnostic results. In addition, the wristband also includes the following parts: wristband shell, circuit board, and vibration units. The circuit board may contain a Bluetooth transmission chip, an accelerometer, a power management chip, a small lithium battery, a USB charging port, a clock, buttons, an OLED screen, and a switch. Among them, the Bluetooth transmission chip has both logic operation control and Bluetooth remote control functions, and the model can be ESP32; the accelerometer model can be LIS3DHTR; the power management chip model can be TP4057; the small lithium battery can be a rechargeable button battery, such as the MS621FE-FL11E model, with a voltage of 3V; the vibration unit can be a flat cylinder with an outer diameter of 8mm and a thickness of 2.7mm.

[0047] The components are as follows: the circuit board is encapsulated inside the wristband shell; the vibration unit wires are connected to the circuit board, and the vibration unit is located on the surface of the wristband so as to act on the skin; a small lithium battery is installed on the circuit board to power the device; the circuit board controls the vibration unit to output different vibration modes, and the accelerometer detects the amplitude, velocity, acceleration, and frequency of the patient's tremor.

[0048] Figure 6 shows a cross-sectional view of the wristband. In Figure 6, DD, FF, GG, and II are the planes representing the cross-sections. DD and FF are the longitudinal cross-sections of the wristband, and GG and II are the transverse cross-sections of the wristband. The arrows indicate the direction in which the cross-sections are drawn. The letters marked above each cross-section indicate the corresponding cross-section. It can be seen that the wristband of this embodiment is detachable, including a first connecting part and a second connecting part. The first connecting part and the second connecting part are both detachably connected to the integrated part of the execution unit 101, the acquisition unit 102, and the control unit 103. The first connecting part can be the control and sensing unit 1, and the second connecting part can be the wristband 2.

[0049] Furthermore, the vibration bracelet for treating tremors according to this embodiment of the application also includes: a wireless communication unit disposed on the bracelet body and a display unit disposed on the bracelet body. The wireless communication unit is used to send motion state information collected by the sensing unit to a mobile terminal, and to receive target vibration parameters calculated based on the motion state information sent by the mobile terminal. The display unit is connected to the control unit 103 and is used to provide an interactive interface for interaction with the user, such as prompting the user to start or end treatment, or reminding the user to start treatment.

[0050] In some embodiments, the execution unit 101 in this application embodiment is used to apply therapeutic tremors to the hand or wrist position corresponding to the vibration bracelet. The hand tremors include at least one of thumb tremor, index finger tremor, middle finger tremor, ring finger tremor, and little finger tremor, and the wrist tremors include at least one tremor perpendicular to the palm and one parallel to the palm. Specifically, the vibration unit in this application embodiment can apply vibration stimulation to the wrist skin, which can be an initial vibration mode. The acquisition unit 102 acquires the amplitude, acceleration, and frequency of the hand tremors, and adjusts the vibration mode according to the acquired tremor amplitude. Target vibration parameters can also be generated based on the motion state signal. A schematic diagram of the target vibration parameters is shown in Figure 7, including: the stimulation frequency and amplitude of each vibration unit, and the temporal stimulation composed of multiple vibration units.

[0051] In some embodiments, for patients with finger tremors and wrist tremors, based on the location of the tremor and the tremor status of different parts of the hand, and based on the different muscles innervating the fingers or wrists, and based on the tendons corresponding to the muscles, different types of hand tremors are classified, as shown in Table 1. Different types of hand tremors stimulate the wrist location of the corresponding tendon or tendon combination.

[0052] Table 1

[0053] It should be noted that the treatment device in this application, from a cybernetics perspective, treats the human body as a system. Applying certain stimuli to an unstable or oscillating system can bring it back to a stable state. Due to the plasticity of the nervous system, the influence of long-term sensory input on the system persists even after the sensory input ceases. The wristband alters proprioceptive feedback by providing specific vibrational stimulation to the hand, enabling the cerebellum and other related brain regions to reassess and adjust motor control strategies. With increased use, the nervous system gradually changes the abnormal neural discharges in the pathological state, maintaining stable motor control even without vibrational stimulation, thereby reducing the occurrence of tremors. Compared to traditional drug treatment, which is ineffective and has significant side effects, and long-term use leads to drug resistance, this application offers long-term therapeutic effects without observed side effects. Compared to invasive brain pacemaker treatment, it eliminates surgical risks while achieving therapeutic effects. Compared to other non-invasive neuromodulation devices, it provides a more comfortable treatment process while achieving therapeutic effects.

[0054] The vibration bracelet for treating tremors proposed in this application can monitor hand movements in real time. Signals collected by the acquisition unit are transmitted to the control unit, which adjusts stimulation parameters based on the collected signals and transmits the new parameters to the execution unit to stimulate the target location, thus better treating tremors. Simultaneously, utilizing the principle of neural plasticity, regular, targeted stimulation can encourage the nervous system to establish new feedback pathways or alter existing cerebellar pathological abnormal neural oscillations, thereby achieving long-term symptom improvement. This solves the problems of poor efficacy of drug treatment, high risks and significant side effects of deep brain stimulation surgery, and poor comfort and ergonomics of vibration gloves in treatment.

[0055] Next, referring to the accompanying drawings, a vibration system for treating tremors according to an embodiment of this application is described. As shown in FIG8, it includes a human body part and a device part, wherein the device part is the vibration wristband for treating tremors according to the above embodiment, and the human body part includes a sensor, an actuator, and a controller. The sensor includes a muscle spindle tendon unit, the actuator includes a spinal cord unit and a muscle unit, and the controller includes a lateral cuneus nucleus unit, a brainstem unit, a cerebellum unit, and a cerebral cortex unit.

[0056] Furthermore, the stimulation process by which the vibrating bracelet stimulates the human body to treat tremors includes:

[0057] The muscle spindle and tendon unit sends sensory input to the lateral cuneus nucleus unit to generate sensory feedback signals; the lateral cuneus nucleus sends the sensory feedback signals to the cerebellum unit; the cerebral cortex unit sends motor command signals to the cerebellum unit; the cerebellum unit generates motor correction signals based on the motor command signals and sensory feedback signals, and sends the motor correction signals to the brainstem unit; the brainstem unit sends the motor correction signals to the spinal cord unit; the cerebral cortex unit sends the motor command signals to the spinal cord unit; the spinal cord unit generates corrected motor command signals based on the motor correction signals and motor command signals, and sends them to the muscle unit; the muscle unit generates motor state signals based on the corrected motor command signals.

[0058] The vibration system for treating tremors described in this application modulates cerebellar function through sensory input to treat tremor symptoms caused by essential tremor and Parkinson's disease. The cerebellum is an important component of brain tissue, responsible for coordinating and regulating muscle movement, including fine motor control and motor learning. The cerebellum receives instruction signals from the motor cortex and sensory signals transmitted by sensory neurons, performs complex calculations to generate appropriate motor correction signals, and sends them to the spinal cord, thereby regulating and correcting movement in real time.

[0059] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 8, with the cerebellum as the core, the cerebellum in this embodiment is located in the feedback loop of motor control, receiving motor command signals from the motor cortex and sensory signals transmitted by sensory neurons. Calculations are performed in the cerebellum, and motor correction signals are output to the spinal cord, thereby influencing the motor control of the spinal cord and ultimately correcting the abnormal tremor. The sensory input is mainly proprioception, and the motor state signals include: acceleration, velocity, position, frequency, etc., of body parts.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, the controller of the human body is mainly the brain, the actuators are the spinal cord and muscles, and the controlled object is the actual movement state, which is represented by a movement state signal. The motor cortex transmits movement commands to the spinal cord, which in turn transmits them to the muscles, generating the actual movement state. Simultaneously, the motor cortex also transmits movement commands to the cerebellum. The movement commands are compared and calculated in the cerebellar cortex with sensory feedback signals. These sensory feedback signals originate from proprioceptive signals generated by muscle spindles and tendons and transmitted to the lateral cuneus nucleus. The cerebellum obtains the difference between the actual and desired movement states through the sensory feedback signals, calculates the difference, and outputs a movement correction signal to the brainstem. This correction signal is compared and calculated in the spinal cord with the movement commands directly transmitted from the motor cortex, and the corrected movement commands are then output to the muscles to generate the corrected actual movement state.

[0061] Furthermore, according to embodiments of this application, a method for controlling a vibration bracelet for treating tremor is also proposed, which is used to control the vibration bracelet for treating tremor described in the above embodiments.

[0062] Figure 9 is a schematic flowchart of a vibration wristband control method for treating tremors provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0063] As shown in Figure 9, the vibration wristband control method for treating tremor includes the following steps:

[0064] In step S101, motion state signals at the target location corresponding to the vibration bracelet and electroencephalograms of the human body's motor cortex are collected.

[0065] In step S102, target vibration parameters are generated based on motion state signals and the motor cortex electroencephalogram of the human body, and the target vibration action for treating tremor applied by the actuator is adjusted according to the target vibration parameters.

[0066] It should be noted that the foregoing explanations of some embodiments of the wearable device for treating tremor also apply to the control method of the wearable device for treating tremor in this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0067] The wearable device control method for treating tremor proposed in this application can monitor the hand's motion state signal in real time, adjust the target vibration parameters based on the motion state signal, and adjust the target vibration action applied by the actuator to treat tremor based on the target vibration parameters, so as to better treat tremor. This solves the problems of poor drug treatment effects, high risks and significant side effects of deep brain stimulation surgery, and poor comfort and humanization of vibration glove treatment in related technologies.
