Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to a brain rehabilitation training device for mild cognitive impairment. Background Art

[0002] With the aggravation of population aging, the incidence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) shows an upward trend. MCI is a transitional state between normal aging and dementia. Patients have mild cognitive function decline, but have not reached the diagnostic criteria for dementia. If not intervened in time, the risk of MCI patients progressing to dementia is relatively high.

[0003] Currently, the rehabilitation training for mild cognitive impairment mainly focuses on traditional cognitive training methods, such as memory training, attention training, language training, etc., which are usually completed under the face-to-face guidance of professionals. This method has many limitations: on the one hand, the training time and location are restricted. Patients need to go to a special rehabilitation institution, which is extremely inconvenient for patients with inconvenient mobility or living in remote areas; on the other hand, the training effect is difficult to quantitatively evaluate, mainly relying on the subjective judgment of doctors or rehabilitation therapists, lacking accurate data support.

[0004] Some existing rehabilitation training devices, although they can provide a certain degree of training, have a single function and cannot meet the diverse training needs of patients. Most of these devices are simply set as a touch screen, and patients interact by touching the virtual buttons on the screen. This interaction method only relies on screen touch and cannot stimulate and exercise the patient's touch sense. Human touch is one of the important ways to perceive the world and plays an important role in the development and maintenance of cognitive function. The lack of touch stimulation is undoubtedly a major shortcoming of existing devices. At the same time, this pure touch interaction method cannot combine the patient's thinking with their personal movement. Movement can not only enhance physical fitness, but also promote blood circulation in the brain and the establishment of neural connections. Combining thinking training with movement can greatly improve the effect of rehabilitation training. However, the current devices cannot achieve this, resulting in a significant reduction in the effectiveness of rehabilitation training. In addition, these devices cannot monitor the patient's physiological state and the reaction during the training process in real time, and it is difficult to make personalized training adjustments according to the actual situation of the patient.

[0005] Therefore, it is of great practical significance and clinical application value to develop a brain rehabilitation training device that can break through time and space limitations, achieve personalized and precise rehabilitation training, can monitor and quantitatively evaluate the training effect in real time, and can effectively stimulate touch and integrate thinking and movement. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention designs a mild cognitive impairment brain rehabilitation training device. The device is provided with a touch component that can only be touched by the patient but cannot be directly observed by the patient. The touch keys inside the touch component can generate height differences according to the controlled lifting and form numbers, letters or graphics. When the patient is undergoing rehabilitation training, the patient only needs to reach out his hand to the touch component and, relying on his own tactile perception ability, carefully identify the numbers, letters or graphics presented by the touch component. After the patient recognizes this information, the patient can carry out training according to the set game rules. In addition, the device is also equipped with a display screen. For the designer, with the help of its convenient operation interface, various different types of rehabilitation training games can be easily designed, continuously enriching the training content. For the patient, through the display screen, the patient can intuitively understand the game rules, training progress and his own training results, greatly enhancing the patient's experience and interactivity in participating in rehabilitation training.

[0007] To achieve the above technical effects, the present invention discloses a mild cognitive impairment brain rehabilitation training device, including: a touch component, an occlusion box, and a display screen; the touch component is fixedly installed inside the occlusion box; the display screen is fixedly arranged on the top of the occlusion box; Further, the touch component includes: a main housing, a drive board, a drive motor, a lead screw shaft, a touch key, a bottom plate, and a support frame; the drive board is fixedly installed at the bottom of the main housing; the bottom plate is rotatably connected to the bottom of the back of the main housing; the support frame is rotatably connected to the top of the back of the main housing; several drive motors are fixedly arranged on the drive board; Further, a threaded hole is fixedly arranged inside the touch key; Further, a metal round nail is fixedly arranged at the top of the touch key; Further, the lead screw shaft is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor; the lead screw shaft is threadedly connected to the touch key; Further, the drive motor rotates and drives the lead screw shaft to rotate, finally controlling the touch key to move up and down, and forming numbers or graphics by controlling the height differences of different touch keys; Further, a limit groove is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the bottom plate; the support frame is detachably installed inside the limit groove; Further, an occlusion tube is fixedly arranged at the front end of the occlusion box; the occlusion tube communicates with the inside of the occlusion box, facilitating the patient to reach his hand into the occlusion box and contact the touch component, and at the same time ensuring that the touch component cannot be directly seen by the patient; Further, the display screen is a touch display screen.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: The present invention discloses a brain rehabilitation training device for mild cognitive impairment. Through the design of the touch component, the device can effectively activate the tactile perception ability of patients, helping patients recognize numbers, letters or graphics by touch when they cannot directly observe, thereby exercising the cognitive function and information processing ability of the brain. This concealed touch training method not only increases the fun and challenge of training, but also better simulates cognitive tasks in real life and improves the adaptability of patients. In addition, the touch display screen equipped with the device provides a convenient interaction platform for patients and designers. Patients can intuitively understand the game rules, keep track of the training progress in real time and view their training results through the display screen. This visual feedback greatly enhances the sense of participation and enthusiasm of patients, making the rehabilitation training no longer boring, thereby improving the compliance of patients. For designers, the operation interface of the touch screen makes the design and adjustment of rehabilitation training games easy and simple, and can flexibly customize training content according to the individual differences and rehabilitation stages of patients, enrich the training forms, and further improve the training effect.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0011] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention; obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Example 1

[0012] The present invention discloses a brain rehabilitation training device for mild cognitive impairment. Referring to Figures 1 to 5 , the device mainly includes a touch component 1, an occlusion box 2, and a display screen 3. Among them, the touch component 1 is fixedly installed inside the occlusion box 2, and the display screen 3 is fixedly arranged on the top of the occlusion box 2. This structural design enables patients to perform training through the touch component 1 during use and obtain relevant training information and feedback through the display screen 3 at the same time.

[0013] The touch component 1 is composed of a main housing 101, a driving board 102, a driving motor 103, a lead screw shaft 104, touch buttons 105, a bottom plate 106, and a support frame 107. The driving board 102 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the main housing 101, providing stable support for the entire touch component 1. The bottom plate 106 is installed at the bottom of the back of the main housing 101 in a rotatable connection manner, and the support frame 107 is installed at the top of the back of the main housing 101 in a rotatable connection manner. This design not only ensures the structural stability but also provides necessary space for the movement of the touch component 1. A number of driving motors 103 are fixedly arranged on the driving board 102, and these driving motors 103 are key components for realizing the movement of the touch buttons 105.

[0014] A threaded hole 108 is fixedly arranged inside the touch button 105, and a metal round nail 109 is fixedly arranged at the top. The lead screw shaft 104 is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 103 in a fixed connection manner and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 108 of the touch button 105. When the driving motor 103 rotates, it will drive the lead screw shaft 104 to rotate, thereby controlling the up and down movement of the touch button 105. By precisely controlling the height difference of different touch buttons 105, various numbers, letters, or graphics can be formed, thus providing diverse training content for patients.

[0015] A limiting groove 1010 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the bottom plate 106, and the support frame 107 is detachably installed inside the limiting groove 1010. This detachable design facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the support frame 107 and also provides convenience for the assembly and debugging of the device. A shielding tube 201 is fixedly arranged at the front end of the occlusion box 2, and the shielding tube 201 communicates with the inside of the occlusion box 2, enabling patients to conveniently insert their hands into the occlusion box 2 to contact the touch component 1. At the same time, the design of the shielding tube 201 also ensures that the touch component 1 cannot be directly seen by patients during use, thereby ensuring the training effect and scientific nature.

[0016] In addition, the display screen 3 is in the form of a touch display screen 3 and has a touch interaction function. This design enables patients and operators to conveniently perform operations and interactions through the touch display screen 3, further enhancing the user experience and operation convenience of the device. Through this integrated design, the rehabilitation training device of the present invention can not only effectively meet the rehabilitation training needs of patients with mild cognitive impairment, but also has the characteristics of reasonable structure, simple operation, and diverse functions, providing an efficient and convenient solution for the rehabilitation training of patients.

[0017] The working principle and usage process of this device are as follows: The working principle of a brain rehabilitation training device for mild cognitive impairment is based on an interactive training mechanism of tactile perception and cognitive feedback. The core of the device lies in the coordinated operation of the touch component 1 and the display screen 3. Through hidden touch recognition and visual training feedback, the patient is guided to complete a series of cognitive training tasks.

[0018] The working process of the device starts with the initialization of the touch component 1. The drive motor 103 inside the touch component 1 is in a standby state when the system starts, waiting to receive instructions from the control system. When the training begins, the control system sends instructions to the drive motor 103 according to the preset game rules or training programs. The drive motor 103 then rotates, driving the lead screw shaft 104 connected to its output shaft to rotate. The lead screw shaft 104 is connected to the touch button 105 through a threaded connection. Therefore, the rotation of the lead screw shaft 104 will push the touch button 105 to move up and down in the vertical direction. By precisely controlling the lifting height of different touch buttons 105, the device can form height differences on the surface of the touch component 1, thus presenting shapes such as numbers, letters, or graphics.

[0019] During the training process, the patient puts their hand into the shielding tube 201 at the front end of the shielding box 2 and touches and perceives the shape changes on the surface of the touch component 1. Since the touch component 1 is shielded by the shielding box 2, the patient cannot directly see the layout and shape of the touch buttons 105 and can only rely on touch to identify these patterns formed by height differences. This concealed touch recognition method aims to simulate cognitive tasks in real life and exercise the patient's tactile perception ability and the information processing ability of the brain.

[0020] While the patient is performing touch recognition, the display screen 3, as an important interaction interface of the device, displays training-related prompt information, game rules, and the patient's training progress in real time. The display screen 3 adopts a touch interaction design. The patient can select training content, adjust the difficulty level, or obtain operation guidance by touching the screen. When the patient completes a touch recognition, the device will feedback the recognition result through the display screen 3, informing the patient whether it is correct and updating the progress information according to the training program.

[0021] As the training progresses, the control system dynamically adjusts the pattern complexity and training difficulty of the touch component 1 according to the patient's response and training progress, so as to achieve personalized rehabilitation training. The working principle of the entire device is based on the combination of tactile perception and visual feedback. Through hidden touch recognition and visual training feedback, the patient is guided to complete a series of cognitive training tasks, thereby achieving the purpose of exercising the brain's cognitive function and improving information processing ability.

[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention disclosed above are only used to help illustrate the present invention. The preferred embodiments do not describe all the details in detail, nor do they limit the invention to the specific embodiments described.
