Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the diagnosis of rheumatism, it is crucial to accurately evaluate the motor function and physiological state of the patient's limb joints. Traditional diagnostic methods often rely on manual examinations by doctors and subjective feedback from patients, which is not only susceptible to human factors, but also difficult to obtain accurate and objective joint motion data. In addition, as the course of rheumatism progresses, the range of motion, strength, and muscle response of the patient's joints may change significantly, and these subtle changes are difficult to fully capture through conventional examination methods. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a system that can automatically and accurately measure joint motion and provide comprehensive diagnostic data to assist doctors in early diagnosis and disease monitoring of rheumatism. This system should be able to integrate a variety of sensors and imaging technologies, acquire and analyze the motion status of the patient's limbs in real time, and generate diagnostic data with reference value, thereby providing reliable support for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

[0003] According to the relevant public technologies, the technical solution with announcement number CN102971631B proposes a method for examining rheumatoid arthritis, which diagnoses rheumatoid inflammation through immunological means of antibodies that can bind to talin; the technical solution with publication number WO2018063818A1 proposes a joint examination probe, which, through a probe with multiple rotating axes, can penetrate deep into the joint to examine the joint surface; the technical solution with publication number WO2018012990A1 proposes a device for performing joint examination after fixing the lower half of the patient, which uses multiple fixed positions to enable the patient to have a relatively fixed posture during the examination.

[0004] The above technical solutions have proposed a variety of examination methods for internal medicine and surgery in the field of rheumatism.

[0089] Furthermore, above the base 231 are a static platform 233 and a dynamic platform 235; the static platform 233 and the dynamic platform 235 are movably connected to each other through a suitable mechanism (e.g., a hinge mechanism 273); when the device is in the initial position, the relative angles of the static platform 233 and the dynamic platform 235 are locked, and the planes of the motion platform 235 and the static platform 233 are located in the same plane, but the motion platform 235 is still allowed to rotate around the x-axis as shown in the figure at a certain angle, so as to be able to adjust the limbs of the examinee to a certain extent, such as the rotation of the forearm around the elbow joint; other configurations or embodiments can also enable the static platform 233 and the dynamic platform 235 to move in a plane at a certain angle;

[0090] Further, the static platform 233 and the dynamic platform 235 are attached to the base 231 in different ways; Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 In the exemplary embodiment shown, the base 231 is detachably attached to the posture assisting device 253 via an anchoring device 255, and is also connected to the static platform 233, which is firmly fixed by a rigidly fixed static attachment mechanism 249; on the other hand, the base 231 and the dynamic platform 235 are attached via a dynamic attachment mechanism 251, which works together with the hinge mechanism 273 to allow the dynamic platform 235 to rotate about a y-axis as shown in the figure, so as to achieve the above-mentioned attachment. Figure 4 In the angle configuration shown; in the initialization angle, the relative angle of the static platform 233 and the dynamic platform 235 is set to 180 degrees; in other "non-default" configurations, the angle can be adjusted to an angle other than 180 degrees;

[0091] In a preferred exemplary embodiment, the bottom of the dynamic platform 202 has a rotating mechanism 400, as shown in the attached Figure 5As shown; the rotation of the dynamic platform is realized by the high-precision rotating mechanism 400 shown; the rotating mechanism 400 includes a disc surface 402 with a spiral involute guide rail 406, and a worm wheel 408 matched therewith; the disc surface 402 has a spiral involute guide rail 406, and the rotation axis of the disc surface 402 is perpendicular to the rotation axis 410 of the worm wheel 408; wherein the inter-tooth profile of the worm wheel 408 matches the cross section of the guide rail 406, and when the disc surface 402 rotates, the worm wheel 408 is driven to rotate through the guide rail 406;

[0092] During operation, the worm wheel 408 rotates one tooth angle correspondingly for each rotation of the disk surface 402, thereby ensuring that the dynamic platform can control the bending angle with high precision. This design enables the dynamic platform to move smoothly and precisely, thereby enabling accurate measurement of the bending degree of the limbs, the required driving force, and the related muscle reactions.

[0093] In a preferred exemplary embodiment, the rotational angular velocity of the dynamic platform 235 can be dynamically controlled by the following calculation formula based on the real-time inspection data of the inspection system to provide the inspected person with a better inspection experience; the following calculation formula is set:

[0094]

[0095] In the above formula, ω base is the reference rotation angular velocity set by relevant technicians and / or doctors; γ is the difficulty coefficient of bending the joint, which is calculated in real time based on the sensor measurement data and takes a value of [0, 1], where 0 indicates no difficulty and 1 indicates great difficulty; F thred is a preset force or pressure threshold, indicating the standard force or pressure when the joint is bent under normal circumstances. thred There are multiple recommended values ​​for selection and setting according to the age, rheumatic disease history or previous diagnosis of the examinee; sensor is the muscle force value or pressure value measured by the sensor;

[0096] Through the above calculation formula, considering that during the bending process, if the detected force or pressure value exceeds the set threshold, it means that the target object's joint bending is difficult and the rotation speed should be appropriately slowed down; if the detected force or pressure value is lower than the set threshold, the rotation speed can be appropriately accelerated; through this calculation method, the motion examination department can automatically adjust the rotation speed of the dynamic platform to ensure that the joint examination is performed at the most appropriate speed while ensuring safety, thereby improving the accuracy of the examination and the comfort of the patient.
