Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of early active protection of diabetic foot ulcers, and in particular relates to a gait training system for diabetic patients based on tactile direction guidance. Background Art
[0002] Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the most common and serious complications of diabetic patients and one of the main causes of amputation. There are about 500 million diabetic patients in the world, and the incidence of ulcers is about 30%. The probability of amputation after ulcers is as high as 20%, which seriously affects the daily life and physical and mental health of patients. Studies have shown that peripheral neuropathy caused by diabetes can weaken the patient's plantar force perception ability, causing numbness of the soles of the feet, and making it impossible to adaptively adjust the gait through force feedback mechanisms such as pain when the gait is abnormal, resulting in an imbalance in the distribution of plantar pressure during gait, and local areas are subjected to cyclic and repetitive high pressure, resulting in foot ulcers. The accumulation of high pressure in the local area of the sole is one of the most important mechanical factors leading to ulcers in this area. How to help patients correct abnormal gait and reduce the duration of high pressure in the local area (decompression treatment) is of great clinical significance for the early prevention of DFU.
[0003] Gait training is an effective means to correct abnormal gait. It mainly uses biofeedback technology (visual, tactile, auditory, etc.) to warn of abnormal plantar mechanics, assist patients in changing their gait and achieve local decompression treatment of the plantar area. For example, the Chinese patent (CN208144550U) monitors plantar pressure information through smart shoes and reminds the wearer to actively decompress through a smart terminal (visual feedback); with the development of technology, tactile biofeedback plays an increasingly important role in gait correction and rehabilitation applications. For example, the Chinese patent (CN104998381A) conveys command prompt information through binary-coded vibration tactile to assist the wearer in correcting gait. However, this type of tactile feedback is not intuitive and carries less warning information, which may reduce the effect of gait training. In the international technological frontier research of tactile feedback, a wireless tactile interface based on direction coding has been reported, which can provide rich warning information and play an important role in navigation, VR and other fields.
[0004] In view of the current problem of insufficient early intervention methods for diabetic foot, the present invention provides a vibration tactile feedback system based on direction and timing coding, which is used to assist in the correction training of abnormal gait of diabetic foot and achieve decompression treatment of high-pressure areas on the sole of the foot. The system monitors the abnormal plantar accumulated mechanical information during gait, conveys abnormal gait warning information to the wearer through tactile means and prompts the gait movement direction, guides the wearer to correct the abnormal gait through the established gait direction adjustment strategy, and achieves the purpose of relieving (decompressing) the accumulated high pressure on the sole of the foot. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the advantages of high concealment, intuitive feeling, high biocompatibility, and the ability to enhance the gait training effect, providing new technical support for the field of DFU active protection.
