Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of voice and speech rehabilitation technology, and in particular to an intelligent rehabilitation system for voice quality disorders based on the ICF-RFT framework. Background Technology

[0002] Normal voice production requires a sudden inhalation of a large amount of air followed by a steady exhalation to maintain sufficient subglottic pressure, enabling the vocal cords to vibrate. The resulting sound energy pulse signal passes through the vocal tract, where it is modulated by the resonance cavities formed by the various organs within the tract, and finally propagates into the air to form sound waves. Voice therapy must consider the process of voice production; dysfunction at any stage of this process can lead to abnormal voices, such as breathy sounds, hoarseness, or abnormal resonance quality.

[0003] b3101 sound quality, also known as voice quality function, refers to the function that produces sound characteristics, including pitch, resonance and other features, including high and low pitch function, excessive nasality (hypernasal function), insufficient nasality (hyponasal function), difficulty in vocalization, hoarseness or harshness; it can be measured by 6 parameters, including fundamental frequency perturbation, glottal noise, amplitude perturbation, second formant frequencies F2 / i / and F2 / u / , and nasal flow.

[0004] For voice quality issues related to b3101, the most common and well-known method in voice therapy is facilitation therapy, which can be divided into three main categories based on breathing, vocalization, and resonance functions. Each category contains more than ten targeted treatment methods. Therapists can select the corresponding method based on the patient's vocal function impairment and combine it with modern voice therapy techniques. Real-time monitoring tracks the effectiveness of each treatment, helping therapists and patients to clearly understand the progress after each treatment and obtain feedback on efficacy from objective data. However, for some patients who are limited by geographical location, economic conditions, transportation, or other factors and cannot easily access in-person rehabilitation, current technology has not yet developed intelligent online rehabilitation technologies.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention is proposed to provide an intelligent rehabilitation system for voice quality disorders based on the ICF-RFT framework, which can perform real-time measurement and assessment and audiovisual and tactile feedback rehabilitation therapy. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an intelligent rehabilitation system for voice quality disorders based on the ICF-RFT framework.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] The intelligent rehabilitation system for voice quality disorders based on the ICF-RFT framework includes the following system structure: a real-time voice quality signal detection and processing unit, a main control unit, a real-time audiovisual and tactile feedback unit, a rehabilitation cloud platform, a mobile rehabilitation learning machine, and a mobile intelligent screening instrument. The real-time voice quality signal detection and processing unit is used to detect and process the user's voice quality signal data in real time.

[0009] The main control unit is connected to the real-time voice quality signal detection and processing unit, and is used for the precise assessment and rehabilitation training of eight related modules, including fundamental frequency perturbation, amplitude perturbation, glottal noise energy, formant frequency F2 / i / , formant frequency F2 / u / , formant frequency perturbation, nasal flow, and nasooral resonance ratio, throughout the entire process of functional assessment, plan formulation, treatment implementation, and efficacy evaluation.

[0010] The real-time audiovisual tactile feedback unit is connected to the main control unit and uses real-time audiovisual tactile feedback technology to display and provide feedback on voice quality rehabilitation results and related information in real time. The rehabilitation cloud platform is connected to the main control unit via the Internet for data sharing. The mobile rehabilitation learning machine is connected to the rehabilitation cloud platform for assigning rehabilitation tasks and popularizing rehabilitation training. The mobile intelligent screening instrument is connected to the real-time voice quality signal detection and processing unit for comprehensive examination. It obtains the average value of ICF functional impairment through the Internet connection to the rehabilitation cloud platform, providing a diversion for the accurate voice quality assessment and real-time monitoring unit.

[0011] Preferably, the main control unit includes a voice quality accurate assessment and real-time monitoring unit, a rehabilitation mode and rehabilitation step execution unit, an ICF conversion unit, and a voice quality four-stage rehabilitation content push unit. The voice quality accurate assessment and real-time monitoring unit performs accurate assessment and real-time monitoring of data to determine the existence and type of voice quality disorder. The rehabilitation mode and rehabilitation step execution unit sets the rehabilitation mode and executes the rehabilitation steps. The ICF conversion unit performs ICF conversion on the accurate assessment and real-time monitoring data. The voice quality four-stage rehabilitation content push unit selects and pushes rehabilitation content for each of the four stages.

[0012] Preferably, the real-time voice quality signal detection and processing unit is used to acquire user voice quality signal data in real time. The voice quality data is obtained by connecting a microphone and / or an electroglot diagram to a single-channel low-pass filter or a dual-channel low-pass filter.

[0013] The main technical parameters for analyzing and controlling data error and response rate error of the input voice quality signal are as follows:

[0014] a) Frequency error: ±2%;

[0015] b) Voltage error: ±3%;

[0016] c) Real-time response rate of the base frequency: ≤6ms.

[0017] d) LPC real-time response rate: ≤45ms (LPC: Linear Prediction Spectrum);

[0018] e) Real-time spectrogram resolution:

[0019] Narrowband (60Hz): 12.7ms ± 4%;

[0020] Midband (120Hz): 12.7ms ± 4%;

[0021] Broadband (240Hz): 12.7ms ± 4%.

[0022] The real-time voice quality signal detection and processing unit includes the b3101 comprehensive inspection module: it obtains three measurement values—fundamental frequency perturbation, glottal noise energy, and amplitude perturbation—from the voice quality signal; it then performs ICF damage degree conversion on each objective measurement value to obtain the average voice quality ICF value; (as shown in Table 1).

[0023] Table 1: ICF Comprehensive Examination of Voice Quality and Function

[0024]

[0025] The b3101 intelligent rehabilitation module in the main control unit includes eight modules: fundamental frequency perturbation, amplitude perturbation, glottal noise energy, formant frequency F2 / i / , formant frequency F2 / u / , formant frequency perturbation F2f, nasal flow, and nasooral resonance ratio (NOR). Each module includes: precise assessment, damage level conversion (as shown in Table 2), and its rehabilitation content push and real-time monitoring (e.g., ...). Figure 2 (As shown).

[0069] The intelligent rehabilitation system for voice quality disorders based on the ICF-RFT framework classifies the types of voice quality disorders, including:

[0070] (1) Neurogenic voice disorder: Neurogenic voice disorder usually refers to voice problems caused by neurological diseases, impaired muscle control and nerve innervation of muscles related to the breathing, vocalization, resonance and articulation systems, or voice disorders caused by any damage or disease of the peripheral or central nervous system. Medical diagnoses related to neurogenic voice disorder include: vocal cord paralysis, laryngeal dystonia, essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, progressive supranuclear palsy, multiple system atrophy and acquired brain injury (traumatic brain injury, TBI, CVA), etc.

[0071] (2) Organic voice disorders: voice problems caused by organic lesions of the vocal organs, including congenital abnormalities of the vocal organs, proliferative lesions of the vocal cords, laryngeal tumors, inflammatory lesions of the larynx and other lesions of the vocal cords, such as laryngomalacia, vocal cord nodules, vocal cord polyps, vocal cord cysts, vocal cord scars, laryngeal leukoplakia, vocal cord Reynolds edema, laryngeal papilloma, vocal cord atrophy, etc.

[0072] (3) Functional voice disorder: There is no organic or neurological lesion in the vocal system (respiratory organs, vocal organs and resonating organs), but the voice is abnormal in pitch, loudness and tone quality mainly due to abuse, misuse or disuse of the voice.

[0073] This invention provides a voice therapy instrument with real-time voice quality measurement and audiovisual feedback technology, comprising: a real-time processing unit, a main control unit, and a real-time voice quality audiovisual feedback unit; the real-time processing unit is used to acquire data on fundamental frequency perturbation, amplitude perturbation, glottal noise energy, formant frequencies F2 / i / , F2 / u / , formant frequency disturbance, nasal flow, and nasooral resonance ratio when a user produces speech; the main control unit is connected to the real-time processing unit and is used to measure relevant data of voice production parameters in real time and determine the user's existing voice quality disorder, and select rehabilitation content and steps for speech voice rehabilitation according to the type of voice quality disorder; the real-time voice quality audiovisual feedback unit is connected to the main control unit and is used to display relevant data of voice quality parameters and rehabilitation results of voice quality disorder in real time.

[0074] The voice therapy instrument proposed in this invention, which utilizes real-time voice quality measurement and audiovisual feedback technology, includes a main control unit comprising: a rehabilitation mode and content storage module, a neurogenic voice disorder rehabilitation step and execution module, and a real-time fundamental frequency perturbation, amplitude perturbation, glottal noise energy, formant frequency F2 / i / , formant frequency F2 / u / , and nasal flow measurement and discrimination module. The rehabilitation mode and content storage module stores the rehabilitation content used during the rehabilitation process, including fundamental frequency perturbation, amplitude perturbation, glottal noise energy, formant frequency F2 / i / , formant frequency F2 / u / , nasal flow focused rehabilitation mode, fundamental frequency perturbation, amplitude perturbation, glottal noise energy, formant frequency F2 / i / , formant frequency F2 / u / , and nasal flow rehabilitation content, as well as real-time feedback of fundamental frequency perturbation, amplitude perturbation, glottal noise energy, formant frequency F2 / i / , formant frequency F2 / u / , and nasal flow data, and adds fundamental frequency perturbation, amplitude perturbation, glottal noise energy, and formant frequency F2 / i / .

The rehabilitation steps and execution module for neurogenic voice disorders are connected to the rehabilitation mode and content storage module and the real-time audiovisual feedback unit. This module is used to set the rehabilitation mode for fundamental frequency perturbation, amplitude perturbation, glottal noise energy, formant frequencies F2 / i / , formant frequencies F2 / u / , and nasal flow, and to run the rehabilitation content for these parameters in real time. The real-time measurement and discrimination module for fundamental frequency perturbation, amplitude perturbation, glottal noise energy, formant frequencies F2 / i / , formant frequencies F2 / u / , and nasal flow is connected to the real-time processing unit and the rehabilitation execution module. This module is used to judge the state of fundamental frequency perturbation, amplitude perturbation, glottal noise energy, formant frequencies F2 / i / , formant frequencies F2 / u / , and nasal flow when the user produces speech, and to determine the existing voice quality disorder in the user's voice.

[0075] This invention also proposes a voice therapy method using real-time voice quality measurement and audiovisual feedback technology. Relevant parameters include fundamental frequency perturbation, amplitude perturbation, glottal noise energy, formant frequency F2 / i / , formant frequency F2 / u / , and nasal flow. Using the aforementioned voice therapy instrument, the voice therapy method includes:

[0076] Step 1:

[0077] The real-time fundamental frequency jitter, amplitude jitter, and glottal noise energy measurement unit measures the user's fundamental frequency jitter, amplitude jitter, and glottal noise energy data in real time. Fundamental frequency jitter refers to the rate of change of sound wave frequency when producing a stable voice. It measures the fundamental frequency difference between a given period and several adjacent periods, expressed as a percentage (%). It primarily reflects the degree of roughness, and secondarily the degree of hoarseness, and is one of the best indicators for measuring voice quality related to vibration sources. Generally, the normal value is less than 0.5%. Glottal noise (NNE) refers to the disturbance noise energy caused by air leakage due to incomplete glottal closure during voice production, expressed as decibels (dB). It primarily reflects the degree of breathiness, and secondarily the degree of hoarseness, and is also one of the best indicators for measuring voice quality related to vibration sources. Generally, the normal value is less than -10 dB. Amplitude perturbation (shimmer) refers to the rate of change of sound wave amplitude when phoning with a stable voice. It measures the amplitude difference between a given period and several preceding or subsequent periods, expressed as a percentage (%). It primarily reflects the degree of hoarseness. Generally, the normal value is less than 3%. Sound wave amplitude can be obtained by measuring the peak-to-peak value of the sound wave. The data is sent in real-time to the real-time fundamental frequency perturbation, amplitude perturbation, and glottal noise energy measurement and discrimination module in the main control unit.

[0078] The real-time formant frequency F2 / i / and formant frequency F2 / u / measurement units measure the user's formant frequency F2 / i / and formant frequency F2 / u / data in real time. If the F2 value of / u / is lower than that of normal individuals of the same age and sex or within the normal range, it indicates good posterior tongue movement ability; if it is higher than that of normal individuals of the same age and sex, it indicates anterior focusing. If the F2 value of / i / is higher than that of normal individuals of the same age and sex or within the normal range, it indicates good anterior tongue movement ability; if it is lower than that of normal individuals of the same age and sex, it indicates posterior focusing. The data is sent in real time to the real-time formant frequency F2 / i / and formant frequency F2 / u / measurement and discrimination module in the main control unit.

[0079] The real-time nasal flow measurement unit measures the user's nasal flow data in real time. Nasal flow (NL) is the ratio of nasal sound pressure level N to output sound pressure level (the sum of oral sound pressure level O and nasal sound pressure level N) during speech, expressed as a percentage. It primarily reflects the nasal energy during speech and can help determine whether there is hypernasalization or hyponasalization. If the nasal flow in a hypernasalization test exceeds the upper limit of the normal range for individuals of the same age and sex, it indicates hypernasalization; if the nasal flow in a hyponasalization test does not reach the lower limit of the normal range for individuals of the same age and sex, it indicates hyponasalization. The data is sent in real time to the real-time nasal flow measurement and discrimination module in the main control unit.

[0150] The data on voice quality measured by users is analyzed and compared with a norm database. This database contains normalized mean voice quality, standard deviation of voice quality, and voice quality limits (0, 1, 2, 3, 4) for different genders and age groups (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 years old, and 18-99 years old as the adult group, for a total of 15 groups).

[0151] Specifically, the real-time processing unit 1 includes a single-channel low-pass filter, an electroglottic transducer, and a microphone. The real-time processing unit offers four gain levels for the acquired speech audio: 25dB, 30dB, 35dB, and 40dB, with an error of ±1.0dB per level (100Hz-700Hz fundamental frequency range). The single-channel low-pass filter uses three low-pass frequencies: 5kHz, 10kHz, and 20kHz. Selecting the 5kHz level: when the input signal frequency is 5.5kHz, the maximum attenuation is ≥50dB. Selecting the 10kHz level: when the input signal frequency is 11Hz, the maximum attenuation is ≥50dB. Selecting the 20kHz level: when the input signal frequency is 22kHz, the maximum attenuation is ≥50dB. When there is no signal input, the static noise is ≤1mV.

[0152] See Figure 1 The main control unit 2 includes: a rehabilitation mode and content storage module 21, a neurogenic voice disorder rehabilitation step and execution module 22, and a real-time voice quality parameter measurement and discrimination module 23.

The real-time voice quality parameter measurement and discrimination module 23 is connected to the real-time processing unit 1 and the rehabilitation execution module. It is used to determine the voice quality parameters of the user when producing speech in real time, and to determine the voice quality disorder of the user. The real-time voice quality parameter measurement and discrimination module 23 judges the voice quality focus type based on the voice quality parameter data and the corresponding voice quality focus limit value.

[0153] Specifically, for each age group of the same sex (15 groups for males and 15 groups for females), the formula for judging the degree of damage of hyperactive voice quality function is: mean voice quality + mean voice quality * voice quality limit; the formula for judging the degree of damage of degraded voice quality function is: mean voice quality - mean voice quality * voice quality limit; based on the above formulas, the precise voice quality assessment module 21 can identify the type of voice quality disorder, specifically degraded voice quality function and hyperactive voice quality function.

[0154] Example 1: First, a profile is created based on the user's information (see profile form). Then, the user is instructed to pronounce / ae—— / as loudly as possible and maintain it for several seconds. By analyzing the user's voice quality signal, the user's fundamental frequency tremor data can be obtained. The assessed voice quality report can be found here. Figure 11 As shown, specifically, in terms of voice quality, this patient (a 45-year-old female) has neurogenic voice disorder.
