Abstract

[0002] Ankle pump exercises refer to active or passive flexion, extension, and rotation of the ankle joint, including plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, and rotation. The ankle movement drives contraction of the lower limb, acting like a pump, promoting blood circulation and preventing deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Traditionally, ankle pump exercises are performed by medical staff, who monitor and assist patients. This approach consumes significant human resources and hinders patient mastery of the exercise, hindering recovery.
[0003] Existing ankle pump monitoring methods based on posture sensors can only detect the angle of the ankle pump movement, not the magnitude of the ankle pump's force. The posture sensor can also be affected by external magnetic fields, resulting in inaccurate measurement data. Ankle pump monitoring methods based on pressure detection units can only detect the presence of a pressure signal, not the specific force of the ankle pump movement, resulting in inaccurate output data.

[0048] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0049] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 According to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, a method for monitoring and evaluating ankle pump movement based on a pressure sensor comprises the following steps:
[0050] S100, fixing the pressure sensor, one end of the spring is connected to the pressure sensor, and the other end of the spring is worn on the patient's toe, wherein the pressure sensor is a resistive strain gauge pressure sensor.
[0051] In this embodiment, the pressure sensor 100 is fixed in a fixed position and does not move. The spring 200 is connected to the pressure sensor 100 and is worn on the patient's toe, binding the patient's toe and the spring 200 together. When the patient performs ankle pump exercises, the toe causes the spring 200 to deform, causing the pressure sensor 100 connected to the spring 200 to sense the force and generate an electrical signal.
[0052] In the present invention, the pressure sensor 100 used is a resistance strain type pressure sensor 100 .
[0053] S200 , the pressure sensor obtains a first pressure value of the patient performing ankle pump exercise through spring deformation, performs temperature compensation on the output sensitivity of the pressure sensor, and calibrates the first pressure value to obtain a second pressure value.
[0054] In this embodiment, by attaching spring 200 to the patient's toe in S100, the patient's ankle pump exercise causes spring 200 to deform, enabling pressure sensor 100 to collect a first pressure value generated by the ankle pump exercise. Since resistive strain gauge sensors are susceptible to ambient temperature interference, the output first pressure value may be inaccurate. Therefore, temperature compensation is required for pressure sensor 100 to calibrate the first pressure value and obtain a second pressure value.
[0055] That is, the output sensitivity of the resistive strain gauge force sensor is temperature compensated, and the force generated by the ankle pump movement is precisely calibrated using the temperature compensation method to obtain a second pressure value.
[0056] S300: Confirm the motion state of the ankle pump exercise according to the second pressure value, obtain the motion time corresponding to the motion state, and determine whether the motion state is valid according to the motion time and the second pressure value.
[0057] In this embodiment, the patient's current ankle pump exercise state is determined based on the second pressure value calibrated in S200. Based on the confirmed exercise state, the exercise time in that exercise state is obtained. Using the exercise time in that exercise state and the second pressure value in that exercise state, it is determined whether the exercise state is a valid exercise.
[0058] The ankle pump movement is monitored by the pressure sensor 100 and the spring 200, and the output sensitivity of the pressure sensor 100 is temperature compensated to achieve precision calibration of the first pressure value measured by the pressure sensor 100 to obtain a second pressure value. The movement state is then confirmed by the second pressure value, and whether the ankle pump movement is effective at this time is determined based on the movement time of the movement state and the second pressure value of the movement state, thereby achieving accurate measurement of the pressure value of the ankle pump movement at a low cost and real-time detection of the effectiveness of the patient's ankle pump movement. This overcomes the disadvantage of the existing technology that monitoring ankle pump movement cannot measure the strength value of the ankle pump movement.
[0059] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, in S200, temperature compensation specifically includes the following steps:
[0060] S210 , confirming the elastic body strain area in the pressure sensor, on which a resistance strain gauge is attached, and calculating using the resistance change of the resistance strain gauge and the resistance value of the resistance strain gauge to obtain a ratio between the two.
[0061] In this embodiment, the resistance strain gauge is mostly attached to the elastic body of pressure sensor 100. When the patient performs ankle pump exercises, pressure sensor 100 is stressed via spring 200, generating microstrain within the elastic range of the elastic body. Therefore, the elastic body strain area needs to be identified. The resistance change dR and resistance value R of the resistance strain gauge are obtained, and the ratio dR / R is calculated using the resistance change dR and resistance value R.
[0062] Among them, according to the principle of resistance strain:
[0063]
[0064] , k represents the sensitivity coefficient of the resistance strain gauge, and its value at room temperature is 2.08, and ε represents the strain area of the elastic body.
[0065] S220 , connecting the resistance strain gauges through a bridge method to build a Wheatstone bridge, setting a compensation resistor, electrically connecting the compensation resistor to the Wheatstone bridge to form a sensing circuit, and calculating based on the resistance value of the resistance strain gauge and the resistance value of the compensation resistor to obtain a total input resistance of the sensing circuit.
[0066] In this embodiment, a Wheatstone bridge is constructed by four resistance strain gauges R. Due to random errors or deviations in the size processing of the elastic body strain area, the sensitivity coefficient k of the resistance strain gauge R, and the pasting position of the four resistance strain gauges, the output sensitivity of different resistance strain type pressure sensors 100 may have a large deviation. Therefore, in order to meet the standardization requirements of the output sensitivity, a sensitivity compensation resistor R needs to be connected in series in the circuit. s .
[0067] In the process of obtaining the first pressure value, the resistance strain gauge R is easily heated and affected by the external ambient temperature. When the temperature rises, the elastic modulus of the elastomer material decreases, making the output sensitivity larger, thus affecting the measurement result. Therefore, in order to ensure that the output sensitivity is a constant value in the full temperature range, the circuit needs to be connected in series with a temperature compensation resistor R t .
[0068] That is to say, a Wheatstone bridge is built by four resistance strain gauges R, and the compensation resistors include: sensitivity compensation resistor R s and temperature compensation resistor R t , connect the compensation resistor in series with the Wheatstone bridge, change the compensation resistor, and thus ensure that the output sensitivity of the pressure sensor 100 is a constant value. According to the above resistance, the total input resistance R of the sensing circuit is calculated. input .
[0069] S230 , obtaining the output voltage and the excitation voltage of the sensing circuit in S220 , and performing calculation using the output voltage, the excitation voltage, the total input resistance in S220 , and the ratio in S210 to obtain the output sensitivity.
[0070] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , using the Wheatstone bridge, when the pressure sensor 100 is subjected to force, the change of two resistance strain gauges R is -dR, and the change of the other two resistance strain gauges R is dR. According to the voltage division principle, the output voltage U o And the excitation voltage U i They are:
[0071]
[0072]
[0073] , simplified to:
[0074]
[0075] Among them, R1=R2=R3=R4=R, and U represents the voltage value at both ends of the Whittenbridge bridge.
[0076] The output sensitivity S of the resistance strain gauge pressure sensor 100 is determined by the output voltage U o And the excitation voltage U i The ratio of is obtained:
[0077]
[0078] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, in S210, the ratio calculation process specifically includes the following steps:
[0079] S211, obtaining a width value and a thickness value of the elastic body strain zone, and performing calculation based on the width value and the thickness value to obtain a bending section coefficient of the elastic body strain zone.
[0080] S212 , obtaining the bonding distance between the two sets of resistance strain gauges and the load on the elastic body strain zone, and performing calculation based on the bonding distance and the load to obtain the bending moment on the cross section of the elastic body strain zone.
[0081] S213, obtaining the elastic modulus of the elastomer material, and confirming the strain zone of the elastomer based on the elastic modulus, the bending moment of the cross section obtained in S212, and the bending section coefficient obtained in S211.
[0082] S214, obtaining a sensitivity coefficient of the resistance strain gauge, and calculating a ratio based on the elastic body strain area obtained in S213 and the sensitivity coefficient using the principle of resistance strain.
[0083] In this embodiment, according to Hooke's law, when the pressure sensor 100 is subjected to force through the spring 200, the elastic body strain region will generate micro strain within the linear elastic range. The elastic body strain region ε is expressed as
[0084]
[0085] , where π represents stress in MPa and E represents elastic modulus in MPa.
[0086] The stress π is determined by the ratio of the bending moment M to the bending section modulus W:
[0087]
[0088] , where the bending moment M of the cross section can be obtained by measuring the load F obtained by the double flat "S" beam structure stainless steel force sensor and the relationship between the two sets of resistance strain gauges R:
[0089]
[0090] The bending section coefficient W is determined by the width b and thickness h of the elastic body strain zone:
[0091]
[0092] Using the sensitivity coefficient k of the resistance strain gauge and the elastic body strain area ε obtained in S213, it can be known from the principle of resistance strain that:
[0093]
[0094] , and thus the ratio of the resistance change dR to the resistance R is calculated.
[0095] According to the formula for the elastic body strain range ε, the output sensitivity S of the resistance strain type pressure sensor 100 is calculated as:
[0096]
[0097]
[0098] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, in S200, the calculation process of the second pressure value specifically includes the following steps:
[0099] S240, detect the output sensitivity S(t2) of the pressure sensor at the calibration temperature and the output sensitivity S(t1) of the pressure sensor at room temperature, and assume that the temperature change of the output sensitivity of the pressure sensor is ΔS, ΔS = S(t2)-S(t1).
[0100] S250, obtain the full-scale output Y(FS) of the pressure sensor, detect the calibration temperature T2 and the room temperature T1, and calculate the expected sensitivity coefficient α based on the full-scale output Y(FS), the calibration temperature T2, the room temperature T1, and the temperature change ΔS obtained in S240.
[0101] S260, at the calibration temperature T2, obtain the rated range output sensitivity y1 and the zero output value y0, according to the expected sensitivity coefficient α, the quantitative range output sensitivity y1 and the zero output value y0 obtained in S250, using the calibration formula
[0102]
[0103] , calibrate the first pressure value to obtain the second pressure value
[0104] In this embodiment, as the temperature changes, the output sensitivity of the pressure sensor 100 also changes with the temperature. Assuming that the change in the output sensitivity of the pressure sensor 100 with the temperature is ΔS, ΔS is expressed as:
[0105] ΔS=S(t2)-S(t1)
[0106] , where S(t2) represents the output sensitivity of the pressure sensor 100 at the calibration temperature, and S(t1) represents the output sensitivity of the pressure sensor 100 at room temperature.
[0107] The expected sensitivity coefficient α is expressed as:
[0108]
[0109] , where ΔT represents the operating temperature range of pressure sensor 100, T2 represents the calibration temperature, and T1 represents room temperature. Y(FS) represents the full-scale output of pressure sensor 100. Full-scale output Y(FS) of pressure sensor 100 is obtained by calibrating the rated range at a typical temperature.
[0110] By using the calculated expected sensitivity coefficient α and the calibration formula, the output sensitivity of the pressure sensor 100 is temperature compensated and calibrated to achieve the first pressure value and obtain the second pressure value. The calibration formula is:
[0111]
[0112] ,in, It represents the final expected output force value, that is, the second pressure value, y1 represents the rated range output sensitivity at the calibration temperature, and y0 represents the zero position output at the calibration temperature.
[0113] By calculating the desired sensitivity coefficient α based on the inherent parameters of the elastic strain zone and the resistance strain gauge in pressure sensor 100, the output first pressure value is calibrated using this desired sensitivity coefficient α, thereby obtaining a highly accurate second pressure value. This reduces the influence of the external environment. Compared with the large amount of data processing required in the prior art, the present invention reduces the amount of computation required and is faster, resulting in more real-time data. Furthermore, the second pressure value allows for intuitive monitoring of the specific force of the ankle pump movement, facilitating real-time monitoring by medical personnel.
[0114] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, in S300, the process of determining whether the motion state is valid specifically includes the following steps:
[0115] S310: If the calibrated second pressure value is a positive value, the current movement state is plantar flexion movement.
[0116] S320: Obtain the movement time of the plantar flexion movement, and determine whether the second pressure value is greater than a set pressure threshold and whether the movement time exceeds a set time threshold.
[0117] S321, if yes, then the plantar flexion exercise is considered effective.
[0118] In this embodiment, when the second pressure value is greater than zero, that is, , it is considered that the second pressure value is within the positive range. At this time, the spring 200 is squeezed, deformed and generates pressure, which means that the patient is performing plantar flexion exercise.
[0119] The duration of the plantar flexion movement is obtained. The movement duration is the time during which the second pressure value remains greater than a set pressure threshold during the plantar flexion movement. In other words, the time period during which the second pressure value is less than the set pressure threshold is not counted toward the movement duration of the plantar flexion movement. In this embodiment, the set pressure threshold is the force value that satisfies the plantar flexion movement condition.
[0120] For this plantar flexion movement, when the second pressure value is greater than the set pressure threshold and the movement time exceeds the set time threshold, this plantar flexion movement is considered to be a valid movement.
[0121] S330: Determine whether the second pressure value is less than a set pressure threshold or whether the exercise time is less than a set time threshold based on the obtained exercise time.
[0122] S331, if yes, then the plantar flexion movement is considered invalid.
[0123] In this embodiment, after confirming that the patient is performing plantar flexion exercise through the second pressure value, it is determined whether the calibrated second pressure value is less than the set pressure threshold. If so, the plantar flexion exercise is considered to be ineffective.
[0124] Alternatively, it is determined whether the obtained movement time is less than a set time threshold. If so, the plantar flexion movement is considered to be an invalid movement.
[0125] In this embodiment, it can be confirmed that the plantar flexion movement is invalid through the above two judgment conditions.
[0126] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, in S300, the process of determining whether the motion state is valid further specifically includes the following steps:
[0127] S340: If the calibrated second pressure value is a negative value, the current exercise state is back extension exercise.
[0128] S350: Obtain the exercise time of the back extension exercise, and determine whether the absolute value of the second pressure value is greater than the set pressure threshold and whether the exercise time exceeds the set time threshold.
[0129] S351, if yes, then this back extension exercise is considered effective.
[0130] In this embodiment, when the second pressure value is less than zero, that is, When , it is considered that the second pressure value is within the negative range. At this time, the spring 200 is stretched, deformed and generates tension, which means that the patient is performing back extension exercise.
[0131] The duration of the back extension exercise is obtained. The exercise duration is the time during which the absolute value of the second pressure value remains greater than the set pressure threshold. In other words, the time period during which the absolute value of the second pressure value is less than the set pressure threshold is not counted towards the exercise duration of the back extension exercise. In this embodiment, the set pressure threshold is the force value that satisfies the back extension exercise condition.
[0132] For this back extension exercise, when the absolute value of the second pressure value is greater than the set pressure threshold and the exercise time exceeds the set time threshold, this back extension exercise is considered to be a valid exercise.
[0133] S360: Determine, based on the obtained movement time, whether the absolute value of the second pressure value is less than the set pressure threshold, or whether the movement time is less than the set time threshold.
[0134] S361, if yes, then this back extension exercise is considered invalid.
[0135] In this embodiment, after confirming that the patient is performing back extension exercise through the second pressure value, the calibrated second pressure value is judged to be less than the set pressure threshold. If so, the back extension exercise is considered to be ineffective.
[0136] Alternatively, the obtained exercise time is judged to be less than a set time threshold. If so, the back extension exercise is considered to be an invalid exercise.
[0137] In this embodiment, the above two judgment conditions can be used to confirm that the back extension exercise is invalid.
[0138] The present invention determines whether the ankle pump exercise is effective through the exercise time during the ankle pump exercise and the calibrated second pressure value. The exercise time in the present invention is the time when the second pressure value meets the pressure threshold of the corresponding exercise state, which reduces the interception of invalid time periods and can accurately judge the effectiveness of the exercise state. The second pressure value is a calibrated pressure value. The ankle pump exercise is evaluated through the judgment factors after double calibration, thereby improving the accuracy of the evaluation.
[0139] It should be noted that the embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention also include: recording the exercise time and the corresponding second pressure value corresponding to the exercise state of each ankle pump exercise to form a data group, uploading several groups of data groups to the cloud server, and medical staff can obtain several groups of data groups through the terminal to monitor the patient's rehabilitation exercise in real time.
