Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] As Figures 1-4 shown, this embodiment provides a balance ability evaluation system based on sensory integration testing, which includes a fixed base 1. A six-degree-of-freedom motion platform 2 is fixedly installed at the inner bottom of the fixed base 1. A through hole is formed at the top of the fixed base 1. A motion bearing platform 3 covering the through hole is placed on the top surface of the fixed base 1. A pressure sensing flat plate 4 with a plurality of pressure sensors is fixedly installed on the top of the motion bearing platform 3. The pressure sensors on the pressure sensing flat plate 4 are arranged in a matrix. The top of the six-degree-of-freedom motion platform 2 passes through the through hole and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the motion bearing platform 3. A transparent protective wall 5 is fixedly installed along one circle of the motion bearing platform 3 on the top surface of the fixed base 1. Protective handrails 6 are fixedly installed on the opposite inner walls of the protective wall 5. The two protective handrails 6 are parallel and located on the same horizontal plane. A ladder 7 is fixedly installed along the height direction of the fixed base 1 outside the fixed base 1. Handrails 8 are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the ladder 7. A protective door 9 is formed on the side of the protective wall 5 close to the ladder. The tops of the two handrails 8 are both fixedly installed on the protective wall 5 and are respectively located on both sides of the protective door 9. A servo driver 10 is also fixedly installed in the fixed base 1. Among them, the six-degree-of-freedom motion platform 2 adopts an existing structure.

[0023] The evaluation system further includes a VR headset 11. The VR headset 11 is built-in with an infrared camera and an attitude sensor (not shown in the figure). Among them, the attitude sensor adopts a 9-axis attitude sensor. The VR headset 11, the infrared camera, the attitude sensor, the servo driver 10, and the pressure sensors all perform information interaction with the upper computer 12.

[0024] The host computer 12 is used to control the VR headset 11 to display a fixation target with non-interference stripes to give visual input to the patient wearing the VR headset 11 and standing on the pressure sensing plate 4, control the VR headset 11 to display a fixation target with interference stripes to give the patient interference visual input, and control the servo driver 10 to drive the six-degree-of-freedom motion platform 2 to simulate a motion state to give the patient interference proprioceptive input.

[0025] The host computer 12 is also used to sequentially give the patient various input test modes, receive the eye changes of the patient tracked by the infrared camera within a set time in each input test mode, simultaneously receive the body posture changes of the patient monitored by the posture sensor, and simultaneously receive the center of gravity distribution and pressure changes of the patient when standing monitored by the pressure sensing plate 4. Based on the eye changes, body posture changes, center of gravity distribution and pressure changes of the patient, analyze and evaluate the balance ability of the patient's vision, proprioception and vestibule and output the evaluation results. Each input test mode is a combination of patient visual input or patient interference visual input and patient interference proprioceptive input.

[0026] Specifically, when the balance ability evaluation system is started, the system initializes the parameters, and the patient makes preparations. First, wear the VR headset 11, then step onto the ladder 7, open the protective door 9, stand on the pressure sensing plate 4, and close the protective door 9. The host computer 12 starts the detection and controls to implement six input test modes with a sequential execution order.

[0027] The input test modes include:

[0028] The first input test mode: a test mode of visual input and non-interference proprioceptive input.

[0029] The second input test mode: a test mode of closing visual input and non-interference proprioceptive input.

[0030] The third input test mode: a test mode of visual input and interference proprioceptive input.

[0031] The fourth input test mode: a test mode of no visual input and interference proprioceptive input.

[0032] The fifth input test mode: a test mode of interference visual input and non-interference proprioceptive input.

[0033] The sixth input test mode: a test mode of closing interference visual input and interference proprioceptive input.

[0034] First input test mode: Control the VR headset 11 to display a fixation target and prompt the patient to keep their eyes open continuously (providing visual input), and at the same time control the servo driver 10 to drive the six-degree-of-freedom motion platform 2 to be in a stationary and stable state (without interfering proprioceptive input). The patient stands for a set time (such as 1 minute). During the set time after the start, prompt the patient to maintain visual input and give non-interfering proprioceptive input. The patient uses proprioception and vision to adjust their own balance ability, and receive the changes in the patient's eye opening and closing tracked by the camera during this set time, and at the same time receive the changes in the patient's posture monitored by the attitude sensor, and at the same time receive the changes in the center of pressure COP of the patient during standing monitored by the pressure sensing plate 4.

[0035] Second input test mode: Control the VR headset 11 to display a fixation target and prompt the patient to keep their eyes closed continuously (closing visual input), and at the same time control the servo driver 10 to drive the six-degree-of-freedom motion platform 2 to be in a stationary and stable state (without interfering proprioceptive input). The patient stands for a set time (such as 1 minute). During the set time after the start, prompt the patient to close visual input and give interfering proprioceptive input. The patient uses proprioception and the vestibular system to adjust their own balance ability, and receive the changes in the patient's eye opening and closing tracked by the camera during this set time, and at the same time receive the changes in the patient's posture monitored by the attitude sensor, and at the same time receive the changes in the center of pressure COP of the patient during standing monitored by the pressure sensing plate 4.

[0036] Third input test mode: Control the VR headset 11 to display a fixation target and prompt the patient to keep their eyes open continuously (providing visual input), and at the same time control the servo driver 10 to drive the six-degree-of-freedom motion platform 2 to be in a vibrating state (providing interfering proprioceptive input). The patient stands for a set time (such as 1 minute). During the set time after the start, give the patient visual input and interfering proprioceptive input. The patient uses vision, the vestibular system and proprioception to adjust their own balance ability, with proprioception playing a dominant role, and receive the changes in the patient's eye opening and closing tracked by the camera during this set time, and at the same time receive the changes in the patient's posture monitored by the attitude sensor, and at the same time receive the changes in the center of pressure COP of the patient during standing monitored by the pressure sensing plate 4.

[0037] Fourth input test mode: Control the VR headset 11 to display a fixation target and prompt the patient to keep their eyes closed continuously (turn off visual input), and at the same time control the servo driver 10 to drive the six-degree-of-freedom motion platform 2 to vibrate (provide interfering proprioceptive input). The patient stands for a set time (such as 1 minute). During the set time after the start, vestibular input and interfering proprioceptive input are given to the patient. The patient uses vestibular and proprioceptive senses to adjust their own balance ability, where the vestibular sense plays a dominant role. Receive the changes in the patient's eye opening and closing tracked by the camera during this set time, and at the same time receive the changes in the patient's posture monitored by the attitude sensor, and at the same time receive the changes in the center of pressure COP of the patient when standing monitored by the pressure sensing plate 4.

[0038] Fifth input test mode: Control the VR headset 11 to display a fixation target and prompt the patient to keep their eyes open continuously (provide interfering visual input) with interfering stripes moving around the target, and at the same time control the servo driver 10 to drive the six-degree-of-freedom motion platform 2 to be in a stationary and stable state (no interfering proprioceptive input). The patient stands for a set time (such as 1 minute). During the set time after the start, interfering visual input and non-interfering proprioceptive input are given to the patient. The patient uses vision, proprioception, and vestibular sense to adjust their own balance ability, where vision plays a dominant role. Receive the changes in the patient's eye opening and closing tracked by the camera during this set time, and at the same time receive the changes in the patient's posture monitored by the attitude sensor, and at the same time receive the changes in the center of pressure COP of the patient when standing monitored by the pressure sensing plate 4.

[0039] Sixth input test mode: Control the VR headset 11 to display a fixation target and prompt the patient to keep their eyes closed continuously (turn off interfering visual input) with interfering stripes moving around the target, and at the same time control the servo driver 10 to drive the six-degree-of-freedom motion platform 2 to vibrate (provide interfering proprioceptive input). The patient stands for a set time (such as 1 minute). During the set time after the start, non-interfering visual input and interfering proprioceptive input are given to the patient. The patient uses proprioception and vestibular sense to adjust their own balance ability, where the vestibular sense plays a dominant role. Receive the changes in the patient's eye opening and closing tracked by the camera during this set time, and at the same time receive the changes in the patient's posture monitored by the attitude sensor, and at the same time receive the changes in the center of pressure COP of the patient when standing monitored by the pressure sensing plate 4.

[0040] The host computer 12 is also used to extract the center of pressure COP changes and postural changes corresponding to the patient's open-eye state in the first input test mode, the center of pressure COP changes and postural changes corresponding to the patient's closed-eye state in the second input test mode, the center of pressure COP changes and postural changes corresponding to the patient's open-eye state in the third input test mode, the center of pressure COP changes and postural changes corresponding to the patient's closed-eye state in the fourth input test mode, the center of pressure COP changes and postural changes corresponding to the patient's open-eye state in the fifth input test mode, and the center of pressure COP changes and postural changes corresponding to the patient's closed-eye state in the sixth input test mode.

[0041] The host computer 12 is also used to analyze the normal COP movement range and postural movement range of the patient based on the center of pressure COP changes and postural changes corresponding to the patient's open-eye state in the first input test mode. When the COP movement range is greater than the set pressure change value or the postural movement range is greater than the set displacement value, it is evaluated and output that there may be other non-sensory factors affecting the balance problem of the patient. Otherwise, this COP movement range is used as COP1, and this postural movement range is used as RPV1. The first input test mode is a baseline test, which is used to establish the balance ability standard under normal conditions. If a balance problem is shown under this condition, it indicates that there may be other non-sensory factors affecting the balance problem, such as muscle strength or coordination problems.

[0042] The host computer 12 is also used to analyze the patient's proprioception and vestibular sense to adjust their own balance ability based on the center of pressure COP changes and postural changes corresponding to the patient's closed-eye state in the second input test mode. When the COP movement range, i.e., COP2 > COP1 + pressure normal threshold 1, or the postural movement range, i.e., RPV2 > RPV1 + postural normal threshold 1, it is evaluated and output that there may be information indicating that the patient's proprioception or vestibular system balance function is impaired. Otherwise, it is evaluated and output that the patient's proprioception and vestibular system function maintain their own balance ability well. In the second input test mode, visual input is turned off to evaluate the contribution of proprioception and the vestibular system. If the balance ability is poor under this condition, it may mean that the proprioception or vestibular system balance function is impaired.

[0043] The host computer 12 is also used to analyze the patient's ability to regulate their own balance based on the changes in the center of pressure COP and postural changes corresponding to the patient's open-eye state in the third input test mode, and evaluate the patient's vision, vestibular sense, and proprioception. When the COP movement range, i.e., COP3 > COP1 + pressure normal threshold 2, or the postural movement range, i.e., RPV3 > RPV1 + postural normal threshold 2, it is evaluated and output that the patient may have impaired proprioceptive balance function information. Otherwise, it is evaluated and output that the patient has a good ability to maintain their own balance through proprioception. In the third input test mode, the proprioceptive input is disturbed to further evaluate the role of proprioception. If the balance ability is not good, it may indicate impaired proprioceptive balance function.

[0044] The host computer 12 is also used to analyze the patient's vestibular sense and proprioception to regulate their own balance ability based on the changes in the center of pressure COP and postural changes corresponding to the patient's closed-eye state in the fourth input test mode. When the COP movement range, i.e., COP4 > COP1 + pressure normal threshold 3, or the postural movement range, i.e., RPV4 > RPV1 + postural normal threshold 3, it is evaluated and output that the patient may have impaired vestibular system balance function information. Otherwise, it is evaluated and output that the patient has a good ability to maintain their own balance through the vestibular system. In the fourth input test mode, the visual input is excluded while the proprioceptive input is disturbed to check the function of the vestibular system. If the performance is not good under this condition, it may mean impaired vestibular function balance.

[0045] The host computer 12 is also used to analyze the patient's vision, proprioception, and vestibular sense to regulate their own balance ability based on the changes in the center of pressure COP and postural changes corresponding to the patient's open-eye state in the fifth input test mode. When the COP movement range, i.e., COP5 > COP1 + pressure normal threshold 4, or the postural movement range, i.e., RPV5 > RPV1 + postural normal threshold 4, it is evaluated and output that the patient may have excessive visual dependence or problems with the visual-vestibular system as a whole. Otherwise, it is evaluated and output that the patient has a good ability to maintain their own balance through vision. In the fifth input test mode, the visual input is disturbed to evaluate the importance of visual input for balance. If the performance is not good under this condition, it may indicate excessive visual dependence or problems with the visual-vestibular system as a whole.

[0046] The host computer 12 is also used to analyze the patient's proprioception and vestibule for their ability to maintain balance based on the changes in the center of pressure COP and postural changes corresponding to the patient's closed-eye state in the sixth input test mode. When the COP movement range, i.e., COP6 > COP1 + normal pressure threshold 5, or the postural movement range, i.e., RPV6 > RPV1 + normal postural threshold 5, the host computer evaluates and outputs information indicating that the patient may have impaired vestibular system balance function; otherwise, it evaluates and outputs information indicating that the patient has a relatively good ability to maintain balance through the vestibule. In the sixth input test mode, visual interference is turned off while proprioceptive input is provided to evaluate the ability of the vestibular system to maintain balance. If the performance is poor under this condition, it may indicate severe impairment of the vestibular system.

[0047] This embodiment also provides a balance ability evaluation method based on sensory integration testing, which is implemented using the above balance ability evaluation system. The balance ability evaluation method includes the following steps:

[0048] Step 1: The host computer sequentially gives the patient various input test modes, and receives the changes in the patient's eyes tracked by the camera within a set time under each input test mode, simultaneously receives the changes in the patient's body posture monitored by the posture sensor, and simultaneously receives the center of gravity distribution and pressure changes of the patient when standing monitored by the pressure sensing plate. Each input test mode is a combination of patient visual input, patient visual interference input, and patient proprioceptive interference input.

[0049] Among them, the host computer controls the VR headset to display a fixation target without interference stripes to give visual input to the patient wearing the VR headset and standing on the pressure sensing plate, controls the VR headset to display a fixation target with interference stripes to give visual interference input to the patient, and controls the servo driver to drive the six-degree-of-freedom motion platform to simulate a motion state to give proprioceptive interference input to the patient.

[0050] Step 2: The host computer analyzes and evaluates the balance abilities of the patient's vision, proprioception, and vestibule based on the changes in the patient's eyes, body posture, center of gravity distribution, and pressure changes, and outputs an evaluation result.

[0051] In the present invention, a controllable six-degree-of-freedom motion platform is introduced to provide visual interference input to the patient. The six-degree-of-freedom motion platform can simulate a vibration state and provide rich proprioceptive stimuli to the patient. At the same time, a wearable VR headset is combined to provide visual stimuli. Through virtual reality technology, various realistic visual scenes are created, such as fast-moving images, complex spatial environments, etc., to interfere with the patient's visual perception. The built-in camera, posture sensor, and pressure sensing plate at the standing position of the VR headset are used to collect the patient's body response data in real time and accurately under different sensory input conditions.

[0052] Although the specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that these are only examples, and the protection scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims. Without departing from the principle and essence of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments, but these changes and modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
