DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Example 1: Referring to Figure 1-6 As shown, a pelvic floor muscle training device based on virtual reality includes a data acquisition module: the data module is used to obtain the contraction data of the pelvic floor muscles, and select a training mode corresponding to the patient according to the contraction data; Control module: The control module is used to obtain the motion data of the exercise device during training in the training mode, and send the motion data to the virtual reality device; Virtual reality device: the virtual reality device is used to select a training scene corresponding to the patient according to the contraction receipt, and fuse the motion data and the training scene to generate a three-dimensional image, and the virtual reality device includes a head-mounted display; Sensor module: The sensor module is used to obtain the patient's pelvic floor muscle contraction data and convert the patient's pelvic floor muscle contraction into an electrical signal; Data processing module: The data processing module is used to receive the electrical signals sent by the sensor module and formulate corresponding training plans; Human-computer interaction module: The human-computer interaction module is used to realize the interaction between the patient and the training system. The human-computer interaction module includes an operating handle; Specifically, when the patient is ready to perform pelvic floor muscle training, the disposable sensor module is first correctly placed in the body, and the patient wears the virtual reality device to start the pelvic floor muscle training system based on virtual reality technology. After the system is started, enter the system main interface first, calibrate the sensor according to the voice prompts, and after the patient wears the virtual reality device, the system brings the patient into an immersive virtual training scene. These virtual scenes can be beautiful forests, where the patient seems to be in the tranquil nature, surrounded by birds singing and leaves rustling; they can also be sunny beaches, with waves gently lapping on the beach and sea breeze blowing on the face; or colorful gardens, with various flowers competing for beauty. In the virtual scene, a virtual coach or guiding character will appear to introduce the training process and goals to the patient in a cordial and friendly manner, so that the patient can quickly become familiar with the training environment and tasks.

[0021] Furthermore, the data acquisition module includes a demonstration module, a training module and an evaluation module. The demonstration module is used to correctly demonstrate the operating steps of the virtual reality device in the head-mounted display through a combination of voice and animation. The training module is used to display the operating information of the virtual reality device through text and voice on the head-mounted display. The evaluation module is used to evaluate the patient's operation process of the virtual reality device.

[0022] Embodiment 2: The training scenes specifically include forest, beach and garden scenes, and the scene selection is controlled by a human-computer interaction module.

[0023] Embodiment 3: The control module includes an image update module, a calculation module and an image acquisition module. The image update module is used to divide the interactive map into levels according to the distance, so that the multi-level interactive map constitutes the distant view and the near view in the image. The calculation module is used to respond to the real-time update of the image, and use the height data in the image as the initial calculation to obtain the diffused height data and normal information. The image acquisition module is used to mix the diffused height data and normal information into the training scene to obtain the image updated and presented in real time in the training scene.

[0024] Furthermore, the sensor module is a pressure sensor, and the sensor module includes a main controller, a posture sensor module and a wireless communication module. The main controller is used to control the human-computer interaction module and the virtual reality device, the posture sensor module is used to obtain the patient's exercise posture in real time, and the wireless communication module is used to send the data obtained by the sensor module to the human-computer interaction module. The patient starts pelvic floor muscle contraction training in the virtual scene according to the prompt of the system. The prompt method can be a voice instruction of the virtual coach, a text prompt on the screen, or an animation demonstration. For example, the virtual coach may say: "Now, please slowly tighten your pelvic floor muscles, just like you are holding urine, hold for a few seconds, and then relax." The sensor module monitors the patient's pelvic floor muscle contraction in real time during the training process. The pressure sensor senses the pressure change of the perineum, and the electromyographic sensor detects the electromyographic activity of the pelvic floor muscles. When the patient contracts the pelvic floor muscles, the sensor converts these physical changes into electrical signals and transmits the signals to the data processing module.

[0025] Embodiment 4: The data processing module includes a physiological data module and a sensory module. The data acquisition module is used to monitor the EEG data of the patient when using the virtual reality device, and the sensory module is used to monitor the contraction of the pelvic floor muscles of the patient when using the virtual reality device. After receiving the electrical signal transmitted by the sensor module, the data processing module performs rapid analysis and processing. The data processing module can be a high-performance microprocessor or single-chip microcomputer, which can calculate the strength, frequency, duration and other parameters of the patient's pelvic floor muscle contraction based on the characteristics of the electrical signal. The data processing module compares these parameters with the preset training goals. The training goal can be personalized according to the specific situation of the patient. For example, for patients who are training for the first time, the goal may be to achieve a certain contraction strength and duration; for patients who already have a certain training foundation, the goal can be set higher, such as increasing the requirements for contraction frequency and duration.

[0026] Embodiment 5: The human-computer interaction module includes a mode selection module, a control module and a voice module. The mode selection module is used to select different training modes. The control module adjusts the training difficulty through buttons, increases or decreases the requirements for contraction strength and duration, and the voice module is used to query the progress and ask for training suggestions. If the patient's training effect reaches the preset training goal, the data processing module will send instructions to the virtual reality device. The virtual reality device then displays the corresponding reward screen and sound effects, such as flowers blooming and birds flying happily in the virtual scene, accompanied by pleasant music and encouraging voices, such as "You are doing very well! Keep it up." Such reward feedback can motivate patients to continue to work hard on training and enhance their self-confidence and enthusiasm. If the patient's training effect does not reach the preset training goal, the data processing module will also send instructions to the virtual reality device. At this time, the virtual reality device will display the corresponding prompt screen and sound effects to guide the patient to adjust the training method and strength. For example, the virtual coach may say: "Please increase the strength a little more and keep it longer." Or use animation to demonstrate the correct way to contract the pelvic floor muscles to help patients better master the training skills. During the training process, the patient can interact with the training system through the interactive module. The interactive module can be a handle, button or voice recognition module. For example, the patient can select different training modes, such as easy mode, challenge mode, etc., through the handle; adjust the training difficulty through the button, increase or decrease the contraction strength and duration requirements; or use the voice recognition module to query the training progress, ask for training suggestions, etc. The system will make corresponding adjustments based on the patient's interactive operations to provide patients with a more personalized training experience. For example, if the patient chooses the challenge mode, the system will automatically increase the difficulty of the training goal, increase the contraction strength and duration requirements, and provide richer virtual scenes and reward mechanisms to stimulate the patient's desire for challenge.

[0027] Furthermore, the data acquisition module also includes a recording module and an updating module. The recording module is used to record the contraction data of the pelvic floor muscles, and the updating module is used to update the patient information and the contraction data.

[0028] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by the patent law.
