Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular relates to a pelvic floor muscle treatment device and method. Background Art

[0002] Throughout a woman's life, her pelvic floor muscles are often subjected to stress and trauma. These injuries, such as pregnancy, childbirth, difficult labor, pelvic tumors, uterine and vaginal surgery, loss of ovarian function after menopause, and sex hormone deficiency, can damage the pelvic floor muscles or nerves, leading to pelvic floor dysfunction. Pelvic floor disorders are one of the most common conditions affecting women.

[0003] Electromyography biofeedback training and neuromuscular electrical stimulation are physical therapy methods and are the preferred treatment methods for pelvic floor dysfunction. Specifically, vaginal electrodes are placed in the patient's vagina. The treatment equipment collects the patient's pelvic floor surface electromyography signals or emits pulsed electrical stimulation through the vaginal electrodes to perform pelvic floor electromyography biofeedback training and neuromuscular electrical stimulation treatment.

[0004] Existing pelvic floor electromyography biofeedback training involves users contracting their pelvic floor muscles themselves, creating a conditioned reflex to strengthen them. However, during actual contractions, most users don't correctly contract their pelvic floor muscles, instead contracting their abdominal muscles. Studies have shown that even with one-on-one instruction, half of trainees are unable to correctly contract their pelvic floor muscles. Conventional treatment equipment cannot identify the muscles being contracted during this process, and incorrectly guided contraction training can exacerbate pelvic floor dysfunction. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a pelvic floor muscle treatment device and method that can identify whether the user has correctly contracted the pelvic floor muscles during electromyographic biofeedback training, thereby correcting and guiding the user to perform correct pelvic floor muscle contraction training so that the user can receive effective treatment.

[0006] To achieve the above and other purposes, an embodiment of the present application provides a pelvic floor muscle treatment device, comprising:

[0007] Electrodes, used to collect myoelectricity;

[0008] The myoelectric acquisition module is used to generate human myoelectric signals based on the myoelectricity acquired by the electrodes;

[0031] When the number of consecutive errors reaches a preset second error threshold, and / or the total number of errors reaches a preset third error threshold, a contraction guidance training prompt signal is generated to prompt the user to perform contraction guidance training again.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the pelvic floor muscle treatment device further comprises:

[0071] Please refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present application, a pelvic floor muscle treatment device is provided, comprising an electrode 10, an electromyography acquisition module 20, an inertial sensor module 30, and a control module 40. The electrode 10 is used to acquire electromyography; the electromyography acquisition module 20 is used to generate a human electromyography signal based on the electromyography acquired by the electrode; the inertial sensor module 30 is used to detect and obtain posture data information of the electrode; and the control module 40 is connected to the electromyography acquisition module 20 and the inertial sensor module 30, respectively. The control module 40 is configured to:

[0072] Based on the received myoelectric acquisition trigger signal, the myoelectric acquisition module is controlled to acquire human myoelectric signals and generate guidance information to guide the user to perform autonomous relaxation and autonomous contraction of the pelvic floor muscles;

[0073] receiving first electrode posture data information acquired by the inertial sensor module during a user's pelvic floor muscle autonomous relaxation, and second electrode posture data information acquired by the inertial sensor module during a user's pelvic floor muscle autonomous contraction;

[0074] Whether the force exerted by the user during the autonomous contraction of the pelvic floor muscles is correct is determined based on the first posture data information, the second posture data information and the human electromyographic signal.

[0075] Specifically, in the pelvic floor muscle treatment device of the above embodiment, the electrode 10 can be placed in the patient's vagina, and the electrode is used to collect myoelectricity. Based on the myoelectricity collected by the electrode 10, the myoelectricity collection module 20 generates a human myoelectric signal. The control module 40 controls the myoelectricity collection module 20 to collect the human myoelectric signal based on the received myoelectricity collection trigger signal, and generates guidance information to guide the user to perform voluntary relaxation and voluntary contraction of the pelvic floor muscles. For example, the user can be prompted to perform voluntary relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles first in the form of sound or pictures. After the user completes the voluntary relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles, the user can be prompted to perform voluntary contraction of the pelvic floor muscles in the form of sound or pictures. The inertial sensor module 30 obtains first posture data information of the electrode 10 during the user's voluntary relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles and obtains second posture data information of the electrode 10 during the user's voluntary contraction of the pelvic floor muscles. The control module 40 determines whether the user's force application during the voluntary contraction of the pelvic floor muscles is correct based on the first posture data information, the second posture data information, and the human myoelectric signal. For example, the user can be prompted to perform voluntary force application in the form of sound or pictures. If the user's force is correct, the user can be prompted to repeat the action and maintain the body posture; otherwise, the user can be asked to change the force, thereby correcting and guiding the user to perform correct pelvic floor muscle contraction training, so that the user can receive effective treatment and avoid the situation where pelvic floor dysfunction diseases are aggravated by incorrect contraction guidance training.

[0076] More specifically, please refer to Figure 2 The electrode 10 includes an electrode sheet 11 at the tail and a handle 12 at the head. The electrode 10 can be placed in the patient's vagina, and the electrode is used to collect myoelectricity. The myoelectricity collection module 20 generates human myoelectric signals based on the myoelectricity collected by the electrode 10.

[0077] For further information, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In a pelvic floor muscle treatment device 100 provided in one embodiment of the present application, the control module 40 is configured to:

[0078] Determining a change trend of an electromyographic value according to the electromyographic signal of the human body;

[0079] Determining a posture change trend of the electrode according to the first posture data information and the second posture data information;

[0080] During the period when the user performs voluntary relaxation and voluntary contraction of the pelvic floor muscles in sequence, when the change trend of the electromyographic value is an upward trend and the change trend of the electrode posture is a counterclockwise rotation of the head relative to the tail, it is judged that the user's force application during the voluntary contraction of the pelvic floor muscles is correct; otherwise, it is judged that the user's force application during the voluntary contraction of the pelvic floor muscles is incorrect.

[0081] Specifically, the user can be guided to spontaneously relax the pelvic floor muscles first, and then prompted to spontaneously contract the pelvic floor muscles after the user has completed the spontaneous relaxation. During the user's spontaneous contraction of the pelvic floor muscles, under normal circumstances, the correct pelvic floor muscle contraction causes the user's body to produce a conditioned reflex, and the myoelectric value collected by the electrode should show a trend of gradually increasing, causing the handle 12 of the electrode head placed in the user's vagina to move counterclockwise relative to the electrode sheet 11 at the tail; if the user contracts the abdominal muscles, the handle 12 of the electrode head placed in the user's vagina will move clockwise relative to the electrode sheet 11 at the tail.

[0082] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present application, the control module is configured to:

[0083] During the user's spontaneous contraction of the pelvic floor muscles, when the trend of the change in the electromyographic value is a constant trend and / or the trend of the change in the electrode posture is a constant trend, an electrical stimulation treatment prompt signal is generated to prompt the user to perform electrical stimulation treatment to improve the pelvic floor muscle strength.

[0084] As an example, at least one of voice prompts, animation prompts, or picture prompts can be used to prompt the user to perform electrical stimulation therapy to improve pelvic floor muscle strength, and then perform pelvic floor muscle contraction training. This avoids the situation where the user's pelvic floor muscle strength is severely insufficient and electrical stimulation treatment is necessary, but the customer is still trying pelvic floor muscle contraction training and misses the best treatment opportunity.

[0085] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present application, the control module is configured to:

[0086] Get and record the correct number of times;

[0087] When the correct number reaches a preset correct threshold, a myoelectric biofeedback training treatment prompt signal is generated to prompt the user to perform myoelectric biofeedback training treatment.

[0088] For example, when the control module determines that the number of times the user performs voluntary pelvic floor muscle contractions, i.e., correct body posture, exceeds a preset threshold, for example, the number of consecutive correct postures exceeds the preset threshold, or the cumulative number of correct postures during multiple voluntary pelvic floor muscle contractions reaches a certain value, the control module generates an electromyographic biofeedback training therapy prompt signal to prompt the user to perform electromyographic biofeedback training therapy. The prompt signal may be in the form of, but not limited to, at least one of a voice prompt, an image prompt, or an animation prompt.

[0089] In an optional embodiment, the control module is configured to:

[0090] Get and record the number of errors;

[0091] When the number of errors reaches a preset first error threshold, controlling the myoelectric acquisition module to regenerate the human body's myoelectric signal; and / or

[0092] Generate an electrical stimulation therapy prompt signal to prompt the user to perform electrical stimulation therapy to improve pelvic floor muscle strength.

[0093] In an optional embodiment, the control module is configured to:

[0094] Obtain and record the number of consecutive errors and / or the total number of errors;

[0095] When the number of consecutive errors reaches a preset second error threshold, and / or the total number of errors reaches a preset third error threshold, a contraction guidance training prompt signal is generated to prompt the user to perform contraction guidance training again.

[0096] Further, in one embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 3 The pelvic floor muscle treatment device 100 further includes an electrical stimulation module 50 and a switching module 60. The electrical stimulation module 50 is connected to the control module 40 and is used to output a pulse current. The myoelectric acquisition module 20 and the electrical stimulation module 50 are both connected to the electrode 10 via the switching module 60. The switching module 60 is configured to: in the myoelectric acquisition working state, connect the signal transmission path between the myoelectric acquisition module and the electrode, so that the myoelectric acquisition module generates a human myoelectric signal based on the myoelectricity collected by the electrode; and

[0097] In the electrical stimulation working state, the signal transmission path between the electrical stimulation module and the electrode is connected so that the electrode outputs a pulse current.

[0098] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present application, the control module is configured to:

[0099] The electrical stimulation module is controlled to output a pulse current of a preset intensity value based on the acquired electrical stimulation intensity control signal.

[0100] As an example, during electrical stimulation therapy, in order to achieve an effective therapeutic effect, stimulation usually requires the muscles to reach a contracted state. By configuring the control module to control the electrical stimulation module to output a pulse current of a preset intensity value based on the acquired electrical stimulation intensity control signal, the user can control the intensity of the pulse current output by the electrical stimulation. For example, the user can control the electrical stimulation module to gradually increase the intensity of the output pulse current from 0 through the control module until the user feels the pelvic floor muscle contraction, and then stop increasing the intensity of the pulse current. After stimulating the muscle contraction for several seconds, the control module controls the electrical stimulation module to stop outputting the pulse current. The user can also actively stop the output so that the user can feel the correct force of the pelvic floor muscle.

[0101] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present application, the control module is configured to:

[0102] In the process of outputting the pulse current of the preset intensity value, real-time attitude data information provided by the inertial sensor module is obtained;

[0103] Determining a posture change trend of the electrode according to the first posture data information and the real-time posture data information;

[0104] When the posture change trend of the electrode is that the head rotates counterclockwise relative to the tail, an intensity setting reaching standard prompt signal is generated to prompt the user that the intensity of the pulse current meets the preset requirements.

[0105] Specifically, during actual use, some users are afraid of electrical stimulation, and the intensity value of the pulse current set by the user usually does not meet the treatment requirements. Therefore, when the user adjusts the intensity value of the electrical stimulation pulse current, the control module can continuously read the real-time posture data information obtained by the inertial sensor module, and compare it with the first posture data information obtained by the inertial sensor module during the user's pelvic floor muscle relaxation. When the control module determines that the posture change trend of the electrode is counterclockwise rotation of the head relative to the tail, it generates an intensity setting compliance prompt signal to prompt the user that the intensity of the pulse current meets the preset requirements and can stop or continue to increase the intensity according to the tolerable level. If the user has completed the setting of the pulse current intensity value by himself, and the control module determines that the posture of the electrode is still changing, it can prompt the user that the pulse current intensity value setting does not meet the standard. The form of the prompt signal includes but is not limited to at least one of a voice prompt, an image prompt or an animation prompt.

[0109] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present application, the pelvic floor muscle treatment device further includes at least one of a display module, a voice module, an input module, a storage module, a communication module and an interface module.
