Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical detection instruments, and in particular to a scoliosis assessment method, system, device and storage medium. Background Art
[0002] Scoliosis is a common disease in which the spine is deformed in three dimensions. The user's spine is offset in the left and right directions, accompanied by rotation or twisting. This disease is more common in teenagers and children, especially during the adolescent growth and development stage. Due to the rapid growth of the spine, the incidence of scoliosis increases significantly. If scoliosis is not treated in time, it may cause abnormal spinal function, chest deformity, and even affect cardiopulmonary function. In addition, the user's appearance may also be significantly deformed, seriously affecting the quality of life. Therefore, early detection, early intervention and treatment of scoliosis are very important.
[0003] In the diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis, early detection and accurate assessment of the degree of spinal curvature are crucial for developing an appropriate treatment plan. Although traditional imaging examinations can provide detailed spinal image information, they cannot be used frequently due to certain radiation risks, especially for children and adolescents. Although physical assessment methods are simple and easy to use, they lack precision and objectivity, and the accuracy of the assessment results is limited.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in clinical practice for a non-invasive, accurate and easy-to-operate scoliosis assessment method that can provide quantitative assessment data and is suitable for users with different types and degrees of scoliosis. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a scoliosis assessment method, system, device and storage medium.
[0006] According to one aspect of the present application, a scoliosis assessment method is provided, the method comprising using an assessment device to implement the following steps:
[0007] S1. The user lies flat on the middle position of the evaluation table of the evaluation device, so that the central axis of the human body coincides with the symmetry axis in the width direction of the evaluation table.
[0008] S2. Conduct a flexibility test on the user to obtain an initial test result, and based on the initial test result, set a bending angle of the evaluation bed surface.
[0009] S3. Using a plurality of pressure sensor groups installed under the evaluation bed, obtain the pressure values at the left and right sides of the corresponding parts of the user, and calculate the pressure imbalance value of the corresponding parts.
[0010] S4. Sorting is performed based on the absolute values of the pressure imbalance values, and a scoliosis assessment test report is generated.
[0011] In the above technical solution, the present application accurately collects the left and right pressure differences of various parts of the human back through a pressure sensor group installed under the assessment bed, infers the deviation of the spine, and improves the accuracy of scoliosis assessment.
[0012] Furthermore, the calculation formula of the pressure imbalance value in step S3 is expressed as: Among them, Dn represents the pressure imbalance value of the nth group, Ln represents the left side pressure value of the nth group, Rn represents the right side pressure value of the nth group, and n represents a positive integer. If Dn is a positive number, it means that the spine of the nth group is convex to the left, and if Dn is a negative number, it means that the spine of the nth group is convex to the right. The calculation formula of the pressure imbalance value can quantify the left and right pressure differences of each part, providing a scientific basis for the accurate assessment of scoliosis.

The back support assembly and / or the leg support assembly include a movable support frame and a bed surface disposed on the support frame, and a plurality of groups of pressure sensor assemblies are disposed between the support frame and the bed surface. With the linkage structure of the back and leg support assemblies, an assessment posture that conforms to the physiological curvature of the user can be provided, thereby improving the comfort and detection accuracy of scoliosis assessment.
[0015] Furthermore, the bed surface is composed of several groups of panels that can move perpendicular to the bed surface, and a group of pressure sensor components are set on the lower surface of each group of panels. The panels can move independently, ensuring that the pressure sensor can respond more sensitively to local force changes, improving the sensitivity and accuracy of the assessment.
[0016] Furthermore, the pressure sensor assembly includes a first pressure sensor group and a second pressure sensor group for obtaining pressure values on the left and right sides of the corresponding part of the user, and the first pressure sensor group and the second pressure sensor group are symmetrically distributed along the midline of the bed width. The symmetrically distributed pressure sensor group ensures the left and right balance of pressure data, which can more accurately reflect the stress state of the left and right sides of the spine, thereby inferring the scoliosis condition.
[0017] Furthermore, the first pressure sensor group and / or the second pressure sensor group includes a pressure sensor body, a support block and a support plate, the panel is fixed to the end of the pressure sensor body through the support plate and the support block in turn, and the other end of the pressure sensor body is fixed to the support frame.
[0018] Furthermore, the evaluation device also includes a regulating mechanism consisting of a folding structure, a floating bracket, a vertical driving assembly and a plurality of guide columns, and the regulating mechanism is arranged below the back support assembly and the leg support assembly. The regulating mechanism controls the angle adjustment of the evaluation bed through the driving assembly, which can meet the flexibility requirements of different users and provide an evaluation environment that is more suitable for the user's physical condition.
[0019] In the second aspect, the present application proposes a scoliosis assessment system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0042] In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of the detailed description and are shown by illustrative specific embodiments in which the present invention can be put into practice. To this end, directional terms, such as "top", "bottom", "left", "right", "up", "down", etc., are used with reference to the orientation of the figures described. Because the parts of the embodiments can be positioned in several different orientations, directional terms are used for the purpose of illustration and are by no means limiting. It should be understood that other embodiments may be utilized or logical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description should not be adopted in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
[0043] The present invention proposes a scoliosis assessment method. Figure 1 A flow chart of a scoliosis assessment method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. As shown in the figure, the method comprises:
[0044] S101, the user lies flat on the middle position of the evaluation bed surface of the evaluation device so that the central axis of the human body coincides with the symmetry axis in the width direction of the evaluation bed surface.
[0045] In a specific embodiment, ensure that the evaluation bed surface of the evaluation device is clean, flat, and free of debris, and explain the test process and precautions in detail to the user; guide the user to slowly walk to the side of the evaluation bed, observe the user's mobility and body balance, and provide appropriate assistance when necessary. Instruct the user to lie gently in the middle of the evaluation bed surface. The user can first sit on the edge of the bed, and then slowly lie back to adjust the body position. Use guide marks or indicator lines to help the user coincide the central axis of the human body with the axis of symmetry in the width direction of the evaluation bed surface. For example, a clear marking line can be set on the bed surface, or the position of the axis of symmetry can be projected through a device such as a laser pointer, allowing the user to adjust according to the mark.
[0046] S102, performing a flexibility test on the user to obtain an initial test result, and setting a bending angle of the evaluation bed surface based on the initial test result.
[0047] In a specific embodiment, the user is first subjected to a flexibility test to determine the flexibility that the user can withstand, that is, different degrees of bending angles. The evaluation angle is selected according to the flexibility of the user's initial test results. If the user has good flexibility, a 90-degree evaluation is used, if the flexibility is average, 105 degrees is selected, and if the flexibility is poor, 180 degrees is selected. The preliminary flexibility test includes one or more combinations of forward flexion flexibility test, side bending flexibility test, straight leg raising test, and back extension flexibility test. According to the flexibility evaluation situation, the bending angle of the evaluation bed is set accordingly. Preferably, the bending angle of the evaluation bed is set to 90°, 105°, and 180°. The user lies flat in the middle of the evaluation bed of the evaluation device, and a number of pressure sensors are evenly distributed under the evaluation bed, and the sensors are symmetrical on the left and right. Ensure that the user's body is located in the center of the evaluation bed so that the panel under its pressure evenly contacts the sensor. Specifically, in the straight leg raising test, if the user's legs are bent to 90°, it is judged that the user's flexibility is good, and the bending angle of the evaluation bed is set to 90° for evaluation. At this time, the back muscles exert a greater force on the pressure sensor, and the evaluation data is more accurate, which is suitable for young users or users with good flexibility; if the user bends to 105°, it is suitable for users with average flexibility. When there is great discomfort in the 90° evaluation, setting the evaluation bed to bend at 105° can reduce the burden of muscle stretching and obtain more accurate evaluation data; if the user remains in a lying position for evaluation, it is suitable for users with poor flexibility or severe scoliosis. At this time, the back pressure is more uniform. Although the evaluation results are not as accurate as those at 90° and 105°, they are of reference value for users with greater evaluation severity.
[0048] S103, using a plurality of pressure sensor groups installed under the evaluation bed, obtain the pressure values at the left and right sides of the corresponding part of the user, and calculate the pressure imbalance value of the corresponding part.
[0049] In a specific embodiment, after selecting the evaluation angle of the initial test result obtained in step S102, the pressure sensor starts to collect the pressure value of the user's back on each sensor, and the pressure data is divided into two parts, which respectively represent the pressure values of the left and right symmetrical positions of the user's back. Assume that the left pressure value of the first group of pressure sensors is L1, and the right pressure value is R1, and so on. The pressure values of the nth group are Ln and Rn respectively, and the pressure imbalance value is calculated by the formula: Calculate the data imbalance value of each group of pressure sensors and obtain D1, D2, D3...D n , where Dn represents the pressure imbalance value of the nth group, Ln represents the left pressure value of the nth group, Rn represents the right pressure value of the nth group, and n represents a positive integer. If Dn is a positive number, it means that the spine of the nth group is convex to the left. If Dn is a negative number, it means that the spine of the nth group is convex to the right.
[0050] S104, sorting based on the absolute values of the pressure imbalance values, and generating a scoliosis assessment test report.
[0051] In a specific embodiment, the pressure imbalance values D1, D2, D3, ..., D corresponding to different parts are obtained by calculation. n , sorted by their absolute values, and we get D1, D2, D3, ... D n The maximum absolute value indicates the location where the user's scoliosis is most severe, and the location of the sensor group corresponding to the maximum value is the area where the spine is most curved. At the same time, the absolute size of the imbalance value can reflect the severity of scoliosis. The larger the value, the more obvious the scoliosis of the spine, and the corresponding evaluation results are generated. Medical staff judge the degree of scoliosis of the user based on the size and location of the imbalance value. By analyzing the pressure data at different locations, accurate treatment recommendations can be provided, such as the specific location of treatment, treatment intensity, and treatment time.
[0052] refer to Figure 2-4 , Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the overall structure of an evaluation bed with a bending angle of a according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 The structural schematic diagrams of the back support bed frame and the leg support bed frame according to an embodiment of the present invention are shown respectively. Figure 2-4As shown, the evaluation device includes an evaluation bed and a regulating mechanism for making the evaluation bed form an angle a and move up and down, and the angle a is 90-180°. Preferably, the angle a can be set to 90°, 105° and 180° to meet different levels of flexibility test results. Further, 90° is a right angle, 105° is the most comfortable angle for human body to lie down, and 180° is a flat lying angle, providing multiple angles such as 90°, 105° and 180° to meet the needs and preferences of different users. Users can choose the most suitable angle for testing according to their physical condition and feelings, and this design increases the personalization and humanization of the test. The evaluation bed includes a back support assembly 100 and a leg support assembly 200 that are hinged to each other, and the back support assembly 100 and / or the leg support assembly 200 include a movable support frame 102 and a bed surface 101 arranged on the support frame 102, and a plurality of groups of pressure sensor assemblies 400 are arranged between the support frame 102 and the bed surface 101. The regulating mechanism includes a folding structure 300, a floating bracket 500, a vertical drive assembly 600, a guide column 700 and a base 800. In order to meet the height requirements of different users and medical staff, while taking into account the requirements of users in terms of flexibility and / or comfort, the regulating mechanism has the function of realizing the lifting and bending of the evaluation bed. The back support assembly 100 and the leg support assembly 200 are both pivotally connected to the floating bracket 500. In order to realize the lifting function, a vertical drive assembly 600 is connected between the floating bracket 500 and the base 800, and the drive assembly can be any existing mechanism that can provide lifting power. In order to improve the stability of the floating bracket 500 during the lifting process, four guide columns 700 are also longitudinally connected between the floating bracket 500 and the base 800, and these guide columns 700 are located on the periphery of the vertical drive mechanism 600 to ensure a smoother and safer lifting process.
[0053] Further integration Figure 5-Figure 7 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The schematic diagrams of the internal structure of the back support bed frame according to one embodiment of the present invention, the schematic diagrams of the structure of the first and / or second pressure sensor groups, Figure 6a and Figure 6b 2 and 3 show a bottom view and a cross-sectional view along the AA direction of a back support bed frame according to an embodiment of the present invention, respectively. Figure 5-7As shown, the bed surface 101 is composed of several groups of movable panels 1011, and a group of pressure sensor components is correspondingly arranged on the lower surface of each group of panels. Each group of pressure sensor components includes a first pressure sensor group and a second pressure sensor group for obtaining the pressure values on the left and right sides of the corresponding part of the user, which are responsible for monitoring the pressure distribution on the left and right sides of the user. The first pressure sensor group and the second pressure sensor group are mirror-symmetrically distributed along the width midline of the bed surface 101 to ensure that the pressure values on the left and right sides of the corresponding part of the user can be accurately detected. The first pressure sensor group and / or the second pressure sensor group include a pressure sensor body 402, a support block 403 and a support plate 401. The panel 1011 is fixed to the end of the pressure sensor body 402 through the support plate 401 and the support block 403 in turn, and the other end of the pressure sensor body 402 is fixed to the support frame 102. Preferably, the support plate 401 and the support block 402 are an integrally formed support structure, which ensures that the pressure sensor body 402 can stably sense pressure changes when the bed surface is subjected to force.
[0054] In some specific embodiments, each group of pressure sensor components 400 includes two pressure sensor bodies 402. When the user's upper body lies on the back support component 100, the central axis of the human body coincides with the symmetry axis in the width direction of the bed surface of the back support component 100. By monitoring the pressure values generated by various parts of the back of the human body on the lower pressure sensor body 402, the tension distribution of the back muscles is analyzed, and the left and right swing conditions of various segments of the spine are inferred. The pressure sensor can be any type of existing pressure sensor. A group of pressure sensor components 400 corresponds to a group of movable panels 1011, which are arranged on the surface of the evaluation bed and can move perpendicular to the bed surface 101. The pressure sensor body 402 is arranged under the panel 1011. The head end of the pressure sensor body 402 is fastened to the support frame 102, and the end thereof is connected to the panel 1011 through the support block 403 and the support plate 401 in sequence. When the human body applies downward pressure to the panel 1011, the end of the pressure sensor body 402 is squeezed and the pressure value is collected. The panel 1011 is firmly mounted on the end of the pressure sensor body 402 with the aid of the support plate 401 and the support block 403. This design can effectively ensure the sensitivity and accuracy in the process of collecting pressure values.
[0055] The leg support assembly 200 and the back support assembly 100 have the same design in terms of the bed surface and support frame structure, and the distribution of the pressure sensor assembly 400 is also basically the same. To simplify the description of the specification, the structural layout of the leg support assembly 200 can be described with reference to the design of the back support assembly 100.
[0056] Further references Figure 8As an implementation of the above method, in a second aspect, the present application provides an embodiment of a scoliosis assessment system 1000, which is Figure 1 The system 1000 includes a bending angle setting module 1001, a calculation module 1002 and a report output module 1003 which are connected to each other in communication. After the user lies flat on the middle position of the evaluation bed of the evaluation device so that the central axis of the human body coincides with the symmetry axis in the width direction of the evaluation bed, the scoliosis evaluation system implements the following module function configurations through the evaluation device:
[0057] The bending angle setting module 1001 is configured to perform a flexibility test on the user, obtain an initial test result, and set a bending angle of the evaluation bed surface based on the initial test result.
[0058] The calculation module 1002 is configured to obtain the pressure values at the left and right sides of the corresponding parts of the user using a plurality of pressure sensor groups installed under the evaluation bed, and calculate the pressure imbalance value of the corresponding parts.
[0059] The report output module 1003 is configured to generate a scoliosis assessment test report by sorting the pressure imbalance values based on their absolute values.
[0060] Reference Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 The figure shows the test report interface generated by the scoliosis assessment system according to an embodiment of the present invention at a 180° bending angle. A 45-year-old patient came to see a doctor for long-term back pain. Before the assessment, the doctor selected the 180° assessment mode based on his flexibility. The system collects the patient's back pressure data in real time, such as Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, the pressure values of the 7th group of sensors are: left pressure L7 = 0.64, right pressure R7 = 0.00; by calculation, |D7| = 100%, indicating that the pressure imbalance value of the 7th group of sensors is the largest, which means that this position is the area with the most serious scoliosis. In addition, the system can distinguish the corresponding positions by color in the test report according to the size of different pressure imbalance values to achieve the effect of visual reminder. Specifically, when the absolute value of the pressure imbalance value is less than 30%, the corresponding area is displayed in green, indicating that the spine state in this area is relatively good and the pressure distribution is relatively balanced; if the absolute value of the pressure imbalance value is between 30% and 60%, the corresponding area is yellow, indicating that there may be a certain degree of scoliosis risk in this area, which needs to be paid attention to; when the absolute value of the pressure imbalance value is greater than 60%, the corresponding area is displayed in red, which is a striking reminder, meaning that the degree of scoliosis in this area is relatively serious, and in-depth diagnosis and corresponding intervention measures should be carried out in time.
