Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a correction system and a control method, in particular to an intelligent scoliosis correction system and a control method. Background Art

[0002] Scoliosis is a disease that seriously harms young people. Its clinical manifestation is the lateral curvature of the spine in the coronal plane, often accompanied by sagittal plane abnormalities and axial rotation deformities. Its incidence rate is reported to be between 2% and 3% abroad, and 1% to 2% in China. It is estimated that there are 12 million patients worldwide, including about 3 million in my country. This disease is very harmful. If it is not treated in time, it will progress seriously, causing trunk deformity, affecting the patient's cardiopulmonary function, and causing the patient to bear a serious psychological burden, which will bring a serious economic burden to the family and society.

[0003] At present, the common means of treating adolescent scoliosis include orthosis treatment and surgical treatment. The degree of scoliosis deformity is generally measured by the Cobb angle. Since surgical treatment is traumatic, expensive, and has certain risks and complications, for patients with mild to moderate scoliosis with a Cobb angle of less than 45 degrees, orthosis can be used for correction. However, studies have shown that 28% of patients with adolescent scoliosis who undergo orthosis treatment fail to correct the disease and need to undergo surgery again. An important reason for the failure of orthosis correction is that some patients do not wear orthosis for a long enough time or wear orthosis too loosely, resulting in the orthosis not providing sufficient corrective force. Patients usually do not adjust the tightness of orthosis after wearing it, so the tightness of orthosis varies greatly due to daily activities. If patients wear orthosis loosely during treatment, the orthosis cannot provide the best treatment benefits. Although some orthosis have also developed intelligent modules for measuring and adjusting the corrective force provided by orthosis. These smart orthoses can measure the time the patient actually uses the orthosis and the amount of orthotic force, and can also adjust the amount of orthotic force or the tightness of the orthosis. However, when these orthoses adjust the amount of orthotic force or the tightness of the orthosis, the selected adjustment values ​​still rely on the orthotist's personal experience and setting, and lack quantitative evaluation.

[0004] The etiology of scoliosis is complex, but no matter what the etiology is, once the scoliotic deformity is formed, biomechanical factors play a leading role in the development and outcome of scoliosis. The progression of scoliosis is closely related to the longitudinal growth of the spine, which progresses rapidly during adolescence and slows down or stops after maturity. The longitudinal growth of the vertebrae is similar to that of long bones. The increase in its height is the result of endochondral ossification of the growth plates at the upper and lower ends, following the Hueter-Volkmann principle, that is, increasing the pressure on the growth plate will inhibit longitudinal growth, while reducing the pressure or applying traction can promote longitudinal growth. In patients with scoliosis, gravity will produce asymmetric compressive loads on the vertebral growth plates. These compressive forces are greater on the concave side of the scoliotic curve than on the convex side, and the intensity of this phenomenon reaches a maximum at the apex of the curve. Studies have shown that the asymmetry of stress on both sides of the scoliotic curve will cause an imbalance in the longitudinal growth of the vertebrae on both sides, thereby triggering a "vicious cycle" of scoliosis progression, that is, scoliosis → asymmetric stress → unbalanced growth → vertebral wedge deformation → scoliosis progression. Once the load asymmetry is reversed, the "vicious cycle" is reversed, thereby achieving the correction of the spinal curve. In theory, in order to prevent the development of scoliosis deformity, the orthosis should eliminate the asymmetric stress on the vertebral growth plate. However, it is clinically impossible to measure the asymmetric stress distribution on the vertebral growth plate, and there is currently no intelligent scoliosis correction system with quantitative adjustment function based on the evaluation of scoliotic vertebral asymmetric stress correction. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent scoliosis correction system and control method. It has a quantitative adjustment function based on the evaluation of scoliosis vertebral asymmetric stress correction, which can realize real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment of the tightness and correction force of the intelligent scoliosis correction system, improve the objectivity and accuracy of spinal correction, and ultimately improve the treatment effect.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: an intelligent scoliosis correction system, including an intelligent scoliosis orthosis and a remote intelligent analysis platform, wherein the intelligent scoliosis orthosis includes an orthosis body, a pressure regulating device is provided on the outside of the orthosis body, a pressure monitoring device is provided on the inside of the orthosis body, and the pressure monitoring device is connected to a central control device by wireless communication; the pressure monitoring device includes a data acquisition system and a film pressure sensor connected by a data acquisition line; the film pressure sensor is used to collect the correction force at the top vertebra of the scoliotic spine, and the film pressure sensor is placed on the inside of the pressure loading area of ​​the inside of the intelligent scoliosis orthosis body to provide the correction force at the top vertebra; the data acquisition system controls the sampling frequency of the pressure, and transmits the detected pressure to the central control device by wireless communication.

[0042] The working principle of the present invention is as follows Figure 7 As shown, biplane orthogonal X-ray films and raster scanning data of scoliosis patients are collected. In the personalized scoliosis 3D geometric modeling module 3 of the remote intelligent analysis platform 2, a personalized spine 3D geometric model is established based on the collected biplane orthogonal X-ray films of the spine, and a personalized body soft tissue 3D geometric model is established based on the collected raster scanning data. Since the conditions of patients vary, establishing personalized spine 3D geometric models and personalized body soft tissue 3D geometric models is conducive to targeted treatment. In the vertebral growth plate asymmetric stress correction assessment module 4, a spine and body soft tissue 3D geometric model is established. A finite element model of scoliosis of the body soft tissue is established, and pressure is applied to the body surface at the apical vertebra on the convex side of the scoliotic spine as a loading load. The stress distribution on both sides of the convex and concave of the scoliotic growth plate of the apical vertebra is calculated by finite element analysis. The asymmetric stress on the growth plate is evaluated by taking the (concave side stress - convex side stress) / convex side stress on the growth plate as an evaluation index; different asymmetric stress distributions are obtained by applying different pressures, and a regression model of the asymmetric stress and the applied pressure is established. Based on the regression model, the pressure value where the asymmetric stress is zero is found as the pressure reference value, and transmitted to the central control device to establish a pressure reference value. Figure 3-4 The three-dimensional geometric model of the spine and the personalized three-dimensional geometric model of the body soft tissue are shown as Figure 5 The stress distribution diagram on the growth plate of the apical vertebra is shown in Figure 6 The regression model of asymmetric stress versus applied pressure is shown, Figure 3-6 Personalized data obtained by testing patients, such as Figure 6As shown, the pressure applied on the body surface at the convex side of the scoliotic spine is used as the loading load, and the pressures of 10N, 15N, 20N, 25N, 30N, 35N, 40N, 45N and 50N are applied respectively, and the percentage values ​​of (concave stress-convex stress) / convex stress on the growth plate are 120%, 79%, 52%, 25%, 10%, -7%, -32%, -50% and -95% respectively. The regression model of the obtained asymmetric stress and the applied pressure is y=-0.0481x+1.557, where x is the applied pressure and y is the percentage value of (concave stress-convex stress) / convex stress on the growth plate of the apical vertebra. Based on the regression model, the pressure value for zero asymmetric stress is found to be 32.4N, and it is transmitted to the central control device 14 as the pressure reference value. After receiving the pressure reference value, the central control device 14 sends a signal to the pressure regulating device 13, and adjusts the tightness of the orthosis body 11 by contracting the strap 24 through the micro servo motor 28, and then adjusts the magnitude of the orthosis force until the pressure value collected in real time by the pressure monitoring device 12 reaches the pressure reference value. The sampling frequency is controlled by the data acquisition system 25, and the pressure is collected at the set sampling frequency and the detected pressure is transmitted to the central control device 14 by wireless communication.

During real-time pressure monitoring, the pressure collection frequency can be set to once every 30 minutes, the pressure reference value is 32.4N, and the threshold is set to 15% of the pressure reference value, that is, 4.86N. When the difference between the monitored pressure and the pressure reference value 32.4N is greater than 4.86N, that is, when the difference exceeds 15%, the central control device 14 sends a signal to the pressure regulating device 13, and drives the strap 24 to move through the micro servo motor 28 until the pressure value returns to 32.4N. The present invention realizes real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment of the tightness and correction force of the intelligent scoliosis correction system, which can improve the objectivity and accuracy of spinal correction and ultimately improve the treatment effect.
