[0060] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0061] Embodiment 1:

[0062] The embodiment of the present invention provides a system for evaluating the motor ability of the elderly. Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0063] The balance test device 101 is used to collect the duration of the elderly maintaining balance in three different balance states: standing shoulder to shoulder, standing semi-independently, and standing on one foot;

[0064] A walking speed testing device 102 is used to collect the walking speed of the elderly within a preset walking distance;

[0065] The sitting-up ability testing device 103 is used to collect the sitting-up time of the elderly on the target seat;

[0066] The evaluation device 104 is connected to the balance test device, the walking speed test device and the sit-up ability test device respectively, and is used to evaluate the exercise ability of the elderly based on the holding time, walking speed and sit-up time to obtain the evaluation results.

[0067] The present invention conducts a comprehensive assessment of the exercise ability of the elderly from three aspects: balance ability, walking condition, and sit-up ability. Therefore, each ability in these three aspects corresponds to a test device. The following describes the three test devices respectively:

[0068] like Figure 2 As shown, the balance test device 101 includes:

[0069] The balancing platform 201 includes a left foot standing area L, a right foot standing area R, a first pressure sensor P1 disposed in the left foot standing area L, and a second pressure sensor P2 disposed in the right foot standing area R;

[0070] The balancing handrail 202 is arranged at the outer edge of the balancing platform 201 and is used to support the elderly to stand;

[0071] The test control terminal 203 is connected to the balancing platform 201 and includes: an image acquisition device 2031, an image display unit 2032, a posture matching unit 2033, an alarm unit 2034 and a test control unit 2035;

[0072] The first timer 204 is connected to the test control unit 2035 and is used to time the duration of the elderly person maintaining three different balance states.

[0073] First, the left foot standing area L and the right foot standing area R are set on the balance platform 201 to ensure that the elderly can stand in a standard posture when standing side by side, so that the image acquisition device 2031 can accurately capture the image. In addition, the first pressure sensor P1 and the second pressure sensor P2 can identify whether the elderly's feet are placed correctly when standing side by side, and whether to switch to other balance state tests.

[0074] When standing side by side, the center of gravity is on the two feet supporting each other, and the body maintains balance without relying on the strength of the other. When standing semi-independently, one foot supports the body independently, and the other foot can lightly touch the ground to maintain balance. When standing on one foot, one foot supports the body independently, and the other foot is lifted. This standing posture requires extremely high balance ability. It can be seen that the requirements for balance in these three balance state tests gradually increase.

[0075] In order to accurately detect whether the postures of the elderly in these three balance test states are correct, the test control terminal 203 is connected to the balance platform 201 and used in conjunction with each other to monitor the balance test items of the elderly.

[0076] Specifically, the test control unit 2035 is used to determine the balance test item that the elderly person is in based on the first pressure information collected by the first pressure sensor and the second pressure information collected by the second pressure sensor. The balance test items include: shoulder-to-shoulder standing balance test, semi-independent standing balance test and single-leg standing balance test.

[0077] When the first pressure information and the second pressure information are collected and the two pressure information are approximately equal, it is determined that the elderly person is in a shoulder-to-shoulder standing balance test.

[0078] When the difference between the first pressure information and the second pressure information collected is relatively large, it is determined that the elderly person is in a semi-independent standing balance test.

[0079] When only the first pressure information or the second pressure information is collected, it is determined that the elderly person is in a single-leg independent standing balance test.

[0080] After determining the balance test item that the elderly person is in, it is necessary to time the duration for each balance test item.

[0081] Here, the various units of the test control terminal 203 need to cooperate with each other. Among them, the image acquisition device 2031 is set in front of the balance platform 201, and is used to collect image information of the elderly standing on the balance platform 201; the image display unit 2032 is used to display image information and display virtual contours, and the restricted virtual contours are standard contours set corresponding to three different balance tests. Figure 3 The standard outline for the shoulder-to-shoulder standing balance test. Figure 4 This is the standard outline corresponding to the semi-independent standing balance test. Figure 5 It is the standard outline corresponding to the single-leg standing balance test. The posture matching unit 2033 is used to select the target restriction virtual outline to be displayed in the image display unit 2032 based on the balance test item in which the elderly are in, and to determine whether the image information matches the target display virtual outline to obtain a matching result; the alarm unit 2034 is used to determine whether to alarm or turn on the prompt voice based on the matching result. The test control unit 2035 is used to control the first timer to start timing when the matching result is yes, and to control the first timer 204 to close when the matching result is no, and record the holding time.

[0082] The image acquisition device 2031 is a camera for acquiring posture images of the elderly person on the balancing platform 201. By properly placing the distance and angle between the camera and the balancing platform 201, the camera can fully acquire the full-body image of the elderly person.

[0083] When the posture matching unit 2033 is matching the image information with the target displayed virtual outline, it specifically determines whether the image information exceeds the range of the target displayed virtual outline, and the exceeding part is large. If so, it is determined to be mismatched and an alarm needs to be prompted. Otherwise, it is determined to be matched and a prompt can be given to start timing. Until the elderly person can no longer hold on and breaks the above-mentioned match, the timing is terminated.

[0084] like Figure 6 As shown, the walking speed test device includes:

[0085] The first group of sensing devices 601 includes a first transmitter 6011 and a first receiver 6012. The first transmitter 6011 transmits a first light beam to be received by the first receiver 6012. When there is an obstruction between the first transmitter 6011 and the first receiver 6012, a first trigger signal is generated;

[0086] The second group of sensing devices 602 is arranged at a preset walking distance from the first group of sensing devices, and includes a second transmitter 6021 and a second receiver 6022. The second transmitter 6021 transmits a second light beam to be received by the second receiver 6022. When there is an obstruction between the second transmitter 6021 and the second receiver 6022, a second trigger signal is generated;

[0087] The second timer 603 is connected to the first group of sensing devices 601 and the second group of sensing devices 602, and is used to start timing based on the first trigger signal and to stop timing based on the second trigger signal to obtain the walking time;

[0088] The first testing unit 604 is connected to the second timer 603 and is used to calculate the walking speed of the elderly within the preset walking distance based on the walking duration and the preset walking distance.

[0089] Calculation of walking speed

[0090] Among them, s is the preset walking distance, t is the walking time, and v is the walking speed.

[0091] The first group of sensing devices 601 and the second group of sensing devices 602 used here both adopt light curtain sensors, and the first light beam and the second light beam are both light curtains with a certain coverage area. Of course, infrared sensors can also be used to trigger timing, which is not limited here.

[0092] like Figure 7 As shown, the sit-up ability testing device 103 comprises:

[0093] The target seat 701 includes: a seat board 7011, a counter 7012 and a plurality of third pressure sensors 7013, wherein the plurality of third pressure sensors are arranged on the seat board 7011; the plurality of third sensors 7013 are used to collect pressure data on the seat board, and the counter 7012 is used to count the number of times the elderly sit up and down based on the pressure data on the seat board to obtain a counting result;

[0094] The third timer 702 is connected to the counter 7012 and is used to time the counting time of the counter 7012 to obtain a timing result;

[0095] The second test unit 703 is connected to the counter 7012 and the third timer 702, and is used to calculate the sitting-up time of the elderly on the target seat based on the counting result and the timing result.

[0096] First, a rule is set, with 5 sit-ups as a benchmark. When the third pressure sensor collects pressure data once, the counter 7012 counts once until it ends at 6 counts. The third timer 702 starts timing when the counter 7012 counts 1 time, and ends timing when the counter 7012 counts 6 times. The timing result is obtained, and the second test unit 703 calculates the sit-up time of the elderly on the target seat based on the timing result and the counting result, that is, the total time of 5 sit-ups. Of course, the sit-up time here can be set according to actual conditions.

[0097] The above are the test results collected from the three balance tests, including the holding time in the balance test, the walking speed within the preset walking distance, and the sitting and getting up time on the target seat.

[0098] When evaluating the motor ability of the elderly, these test results can be scored in turn, and then the individual scores can be added together to obtain a total score.

[0099] Therefore, the evaluation device 104 is used to:

[0100] Calculate the balance test scores of the elderly based on the duration of holding the balance test;

[0101] Based on walking speed, the walking speed test score of the elderly was calculated;

[0102] Based on the sit-up time, the sit-up time test score of the elderly was calculated;

[0103] A composite score was obtained based on the balance test score, walking speed test score, and sit-up time test score;

[0104] Based on the comprehensive score and standard assessment results, the exercise capacity assessment results of the elderly are obtained.

[0105] Among them, the longer the duration of the shoulder-to-shoulder standing balance test is maintained, the higher the corresponding balance score is; similarly, the longer the duration of the semi-independent standing balance test is maintained, the higher the corresponding balance score is; the longer the duration of the single-leg standing balance test is maintained, the higher the corresponding balance score is. The difficulty of these three balance tests increases in sequence; when all three balance tests can be completed, the corresponding total balance score is higher; when the three balance tests are tested in the order of the shoulder-to-shoulder standing balance test, the semi-independent standing balance test, and the single-leg standing balance test, if the balance score of any balance test is less than the preset value, the subsequent balance test does not need to be performed and the score is 0.

[0106] The following is a description of how the Balanced Test score is calculated:

[0107] Based on the first holding time of the elderly in the shoulder-to-shoulder standing balance test and the first ratio of the first holding time to the first full score time, a first balance test result is obtained, which is the holding time for the elderly to get full marks in the shoulder-to-shoulder standing balance test.

[0108] For example, the first holding time is 6 minutes, and the first full score time is 10 minutes, then the first ratio is 60%. If the full score result corresponding to the first full score time is 5 points, then the first balance test result is 3 points.

[0109] Based on the second holding time of the elderly in the semi-independent standing balance test and the second ratio of the second holding time to the second full score time, a second balance test result is obtained, and the second full score time is the holding time of the elderly in this independent standing balance test. Similarly, according to the above case, the second balance test result can also be obtained.

[0110] For the one-legged standing balance test, if the second balance test result of the semi-independent balance test is low, determined according to the threshold, there is no need to perform the one-legged standing balance test, that is, the third balance test result is 0; if the second balance test result of the semi-independent balance test exceeds the threshold, the one-legged standing balance test can continue.

[0111] In the one-legged standing balance test, based on the third holding time of the elderly in the one-legged standing balance test and the third ratio of the third holding time to the third full score time, a third balance test result is obtained, and the third full score time is the holding time for the elderly to get full marks in the one-legged standing balance test. Similarly, according to the above case, the second balance test result can also be obtained.

[0112] Finally, based on the first balance test result, the second balance test result, and the third balance test result, a balance test score of the elderly is calculated by adding them together.

[0113] If the elderly score very high in all three balance tests, the balance test score will be high accordingly. The balance test items are arranged in order from low to high. If the score is low in any balance test, it is determined by comparing with the threshold, and the subsequent balance test (a more difficult balance test) does not need to be performed and can be recorded as 0 points.

[0114] For the walking speed test, taking the preset walking distance of 3 meters as an example, if the time is less than 3.62s and the corresponding walking speed is greater than 0.83m / s, 4 points will be scored; if the time is between 3.62s and 4.65s and the corresponding walking speed is between 0.65m / s and 0.83m / s, 3 points will be scored; if the time is between 4.66 and 6.52s and the corresponding walking speed is between 0.46m / s and 0.65m / s, 2 points will be scored; if the time is greater than 6.52s and the corresponding walking speed is less than 0.46m / s, 1 point will be scored.

[0115] For the sit-up duration test, taking 5 consecutive sit-ups as an example, points are given according to the time. For example, if the time is less than 11.19s, 4 points are given, 3 points are given between 11.20s and 13.60s, 2 points are given, 13.70s to 16.69s, 1 point is given, if the time is more than 16.70s, 1 point is given, and if the time is more than 60s or cannot be completed, 0 points are given.

[0116] Finally, all test scores are added together to obtain a comprehensive score, which corresponds to the standard score result, thereby obtaining the result of the elderly's natural motor ability assessment.

[0117] For example, if the balance test score is 4, the walking speed test score is 4, and the sit-up time test score is 3, the comprehensive score is 11. The standard scoring results include: 0-3 points, indicating that the motor ability is severely limited and daily activities are difficult; 4-6 points, indicating that the motor ability is slightly limited and needs help or assistive devices; 7-9 points, normal motor ability, can complete daily activities independently, 10-12 points, indicating excellent motor ability, strong and powerful. By looking up the standard scoring results, it is determined that the elderly person has excellent motor ability and is strong and powerful.

[0118] The system also includes a program formulation module for formulating corresponding exercise programs for the elderly based on the evaluation results.

[0119] For example, based on the assessment results, targeted aerobic exercise, strength training, and flexibility exercises can be developed.
