Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and specifically relates to an intelligent physical examination system applied to the diagnosis of rheumatic diseases. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the diagnosis of rheumatic diseases, it is crucial to accurately assess the motor function and physiological state of the patient's limbs and joints. Traditional diagnostic methods often rely on manual examination by doctors and subjective feedback from patients. This approach is not only susceptible to human factors, but also difficult to obtain accurate and objective joint movement data. In addition, as the course of rheumatic diseases 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 movement and provide comprehensive diagnostic data to assist doctors in early diagnosis and disease monitoring of rheumatic diseases. Such a system should be able to integrate multiple sensors and imaging technologies, real-time acquisition and analysis of the patient's limb movement state, and generate diagnostic data with reference value to provide reliable support for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

[0003] Upon reviewing relevant disclosed technologies, the technical solution with publication number CN102971631B proposes a method for examining rheumatoid arthritis, which uses immunological means of antibodies capable of binding to ankle proteins to diagnose rheumatoid inflammation; the technical solution with publication number WO2018063818A1 proposes a joint examination probe, which uses a probe with multiple rotation axes to conduct joint surface examination by penetrating into the joint interior; the technical solution with publication number WO2018012990A1 proposes a device for examining joints after fixing the lower body of a patient, which uses multiple fixed positions to make the patient have a relatively fixed body position during examination.

[0004] The above technical solutions all propose various examination methods for the internal and surgical fields of rheumatic diseases, but for the current situation of a large number of patients and a surge in demand for diagnosis and treatment, more efficient examination system technical solutions are still needed.

[0089] Furthermore, a static platform 233 and a dynamic platform 235 are located above the base 231; the static platform 233 and the dynamic platform 235 are movably connected to each other by a suitable mechanism (e.g., hinge mechanism 273); when the device is in the initial position, the relative angle between the static platform 233 and the dynamic platform 235 is 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 to make certain adjustments to accommodate the limbs of the examinee, such as the rotation of the forearm around the elbow joint; other configurations or embodiments may also allow the static platform 233 and the dynamic platform 235 to move in a plane at a certain angle;

[0090] Furthermore, the static platform 233 and the dynamic platform 235 are attached to the base 231 in different ways; as shown in the attached... Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 In the exemplary embodiment shown, the base 231 is detachably attached to the posture assist device 253 via an anchoring device 255, and is also connected to the static platform 233, which is rigidly fixed by a 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 in conjunction with a hinge mechanism 273 to allow the dynamic platform 235 to rotate about a y-axis as shown in the figures, thus achieving the desired effect. Figure 4 In the angle configuration shown; in the initial angle, the relative angle between the static platform 233 and the dynamic platform 235 is set to 180 degrees; in other "non-default" configurations, this 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. Figure 5The rotation of the dynamic platform is realized by the high-precision rotation mechanism 400 shown; the rotation mechanism 400 comprises a disc surface 402 with a spiral involute guide rail 406 and a worm gear 408 matched with the disc surface 402; the spiral involute guide rail 406 is on the disc surface 402, and the rotation axis of the disc surface 402 is perpendicular to the rotation axis 410 of the worm gear 408; wherein the tooth profile of the worm gear 408 matches the cross section of the guide rail 406, and when the disc surface 402 rotates, the worm gear 408 is driven to rotate by the guide rail 406 through one tooth angle;

[0092] In operation, the worm gear 408 rotates by one tooth angle when the disc surface 402 rotates one round, ensuring that the dynamic platform can control the bending angle with high precision; this design can realize smooth and accurate movement of the dynamic platform, so as to accurately measure the bending degree of the limbs, the required driving force and the related muscle response;

[0093] In the preferred exemplary embodiment, the rotation angular velocity of the dynamic platform 235 can be dynamically controlled by checking the real-time checking data of the system to provide a better checking experience for the examinee, through the following calculation formula:

[0094]

[0095] In the above formula, ω base is the reference rotation angular velocity set by the relevant technical personnel and / or the doctor; γ is the difficulty coefficient of the bending joint, which is calculated in real time by the sensor measurement data, and its value is [0, 1], 0 represents no difficulty, and 1 represents extreme difficulty; F thred is a preset force or pressure threshold value, representing the standard force or pressure when the joint is bent under normal circumstances, F thred can be selected and set according to the age, rheumatism history or previous diagnosis of the examinee; F sensor is the muscle force value or pressure value measured by the sensor;

[0096] Through the above calculation formula, if the detected force or pressure value exceeds the set threshold value during the bending process, it indicates that the joint bending of the target object is difficult, and the rotation speed should be appropriately slowed down; if the detected force or pressure value is lower than the set threshold value, the rotation speed can be appropriately accelerated; through this calculation method, the motion checking part can automatically adjust the rotation speed of the dynamic platform, ensuring that the joint examination is carried out at the most appropriate speed under the premise of safety, thereby improving the accuracy of the examination and the comfort of the patient.
