Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pediatric neurological rehabilitation therapy, and in particular to a pediatric neurological stimulation auxiliary device with a multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment function. Background Art

[0002] In the field of pediatric neurorehabilitation, neurostimulation assistive devices are widely used as an important treatment tool to promote the recovery and improvement of children's neurological functions. This type of device acts on the nerve endings or muscle tissue of children through specific physical stimulation (such as electrical stimulation, vibration or pressure stimulation, etc.), thereby achieving the therapeutic purpose of activating neural pathways and enhancing muscle control ability. However, existing pediatric neurostimulation assistive devices still have many shortcomings in practical applications, especially in terms of the device's adjustment flexibility and adaptability.

[0003] Most of the neurostimulation assistive devices currently on the market use a fixed structure design with a limited adjustment range, making it difficult to flexibly adjust with multiple degrees of freedom according to the patient's specific body position, treatment area, and individual differences. This limitation not only affects the accuracy and effectiveness of the treatment, but may also lead to treatment deviations or discomfort caused by improper device positioning. In addition, existing equipment often requires frequent manual adjustments during operation, which increases the workload of medical staff and reduces treatment efficiency. For pediatric patients, since their physical development is not yet fully mature and their body shape and posture vary greatly, higher requirements are placed on the adaptability and adjustment accuracy of the equipment.

[0004] In summary, the lack of multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment capabilities in existing pediatric neurostimulation assistive devices has become a significant factor restricting their clinical effectiveness. Developing a pediatric neurostimulation assistive device with multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment that can achieve flexible and precise adjustments based on the patient's actual needs while also improving the device's adaptability and ease of operation is a pressing technical challenge. This will not only help improve treatment outcomes but also significantly enhance the patient's treatment experience, providing more reliable technical support for pediatric neurorehabilitation treatment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the invention is to provide a pediatric nerve stimulation auxiliary device with multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment function, which solves the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0006] The present invention is implemented as follows. A pediatric nerve stimulation assistance device with multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment function mainly consists of a base, a support arm arranged on the base, and a stimulation head installed at the top of the support arm. The support arm is movably connected to the base through a joint block. The joint block is provided with a spherical groove inside and a locking knob on the outside that matches the spherical groove. The stimulation head includes a housing, a micro-vibration motor arranged inside the housing, and a flexible silica gel layer covering the outer surface of the housing. A rotating shaft connected to the support arm is provided at the bottom of the housing, and a damping device is arranged on the rotating shaft. A group of detachable electrode patches are provided at the front end of the housing, and the electrode patches are connected to a built-in pulse generator through wires.

[0007] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the joint block is movably connected to the support arm through the spherical groove, and the locking knob is used to fix the position of the support arm.

[0008] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the outer surface of the flexible silica gel layer is provided with evenly distributed raised points.

[0009] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the rotating shaft realizes the angle positioning of the housing through the damping device.

[0010] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the electrode patches are connected to the pulse generator through wires, and the electrode patches are of detachable design.

[0011] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the micro-vibration motor is arranged inside the housing and is used to generate vibration output.

[0012] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the base is the support foundation of the device and is made of high-strength materials.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention: The pediatric nerve stimulation assistance device with multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment function has a compact structure and is easy to operate, and is applicable to various pediatric nerve stimulation treatment scenarios. Through the design of the joint block and the rotating shaft, the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment of the stimulation head is realized, and it can be accurately positioned to the specific nerve part of the child.

Specific embodiments

[0018] A pediatric nerve stimulation assistance device with a multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment function according to the present invention is described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. As Figure 1 shown, the overall structure of the device includes a base 1, a support arm 2, a joint block 3, a locking knob 4, and a stimulation head 5. The base 1 serves as the support foundation for the entire device and is made of high-strength materials to ensure the stability of the device during use. The support arm 2 is movably connected to the base 1 through the joint block 3. The joint block 3 is provided with a spherical groove inside and a locking knob 4 on the outside that matches the spherical groove. By loosening or tightening the locking knob 4, the support arm 2 can be flexibly adjusted and fixed in three-dimensional space. This design enables the stimulation head 5 to be accurately positioned at a specific nerve site of the child according to the treatment requirements. For example, in actual applications, medical staff can quickly adjust the angle of the support arm 2 according to the body posture of the child and the different treatment sites to adapt to different operation scenarios.

[0019] The stimulation head 5 is one of the core components of the device, and its specific structure is as Figure 2 shown. The stimulation head 5 is composed of a housing 6, a micro vibration motor 7, a flexible silicone layer 8, a rotating shaft 9, and a damping device 10. A micro vibration motor 7 is installed inside the housing 6 for generating vibration stimulation. The micro vibration motor 7 is connected to an external power supply through an internal circuit, and its operating frequency and intensity can be adjusted through a control module to meet different treatment requirements. A rotating shaft 9 is provided at the bottom of the housing 6, and a damping device 10 is installed on the rotating shaft 9. Through the action of the damping device 10, the housing 6 can maintain stable positioning at any angle. This design not only improves the operation flexibility of the device but also enhances the convenience of use. The flexible silicone layer 8 covers the outer surface of the housing 6, and raised points 14 are evenly distributed on its surface. The design of these raised points 14 is intended to enhance the comfort of skin contact and at the same time improve the stimulation effect. In actual use, the flexible silicone layer 8 can effectively avoid compressive damage to the skin of the child, especially suitable for pediatric patients with relatively sensitive skin.

[0020] Furthermore, as Figure 3As shown, a set of detachable electrode plates 11 are provided at the front end of the housing 6, and the electrode plates 11 are connected to the built-in pulse generator 13 through wires 12. The design of the electrode plates 11 adopts a modular concept, which is convenient for replacement and maintenance. In actual operation, medical staff can select the appropriate model of the electrode plates 11 according to the different treatment sites and firmly install them at the front end of the housing 6. The electrode plates 11 receive electrical signals from the pulse generator 13 through the wires 12, thereby transmitting low-frequency pulses to the nerve sites of the child. The pulse generator 13 has a variety of preset modes and can adjust the output intensity and frequency according to the treatment requirements. For example, when treating pediatric muscle spasm, a high-frequency and low-intensity pulse mode can be selected; while when promoting nerve repair, it can be switched to a low-frequency and high-intensity mode. This diverse output setting significantly improves the applicable range and treatment effect of the device.

[0021] During the actual use process, the operation process of this device is as follows: First, place the base 1 on a stable workbench to ensure the overall stability of the device. Then, adjust the angle of the support arm 2 according to the body posture of the child and the specific position of the treatment site. By loosening the locking knob 4, the support arm 2 can rotate freely in the spherical groove of the joint block 3 until the stimulation head 5 is aligned with the target nerve site, and then tighten the locking knob 4 to fix the position of the support arm 2. Subsequently, check whether the rotation axis 9 of the stimulation head 5 can rotate flexibly and adjust it to the optimal angle through the damping device 10 to ensure full contact between the electrode plates 11 and the child's skin. After confirming that all components are installed correctly, start the device and set the output parameters of the pulse generator 13 according to the treatment requirements. The micro vibration motor 7 starts to work, and the generated vibration is transmitted to the child's skin through the flexible silicone layer 8. At the same time, the electrode plates 11 release low-frequency pulse signals, which act together on the target nerve site. During the entire treatment process, medical staff can adjust the device parameters in a timely manner by observing the child's reaction to achieve the best treatment effect.

[0022] In addition, the raised points 14 on the surface of the flexible silicone layer 8 play an important role during the treatment process. These raised points 14 can not only increase the skin contact area but also further enhance the treatment effect through tiny physical stimulation. For example, when treating local nerve numbness in children, the distribution design of the raised points 14 can effectively activate skin receptors and promote nerve signal conduction. At the same time, the material selection of the flexible silicone layer 8 has also undergone strict testing to ensure its good biocompatibility and durability, and it can maintain stable performance during long-term use.

[0023] To further verify the actual application effect of this device, the following will be described in combination with specific application scenarios. In a case of treating lower limb motor disorders caused by pediatric cerebral palsy, medical staff placed the base 1 of the device beside the child's bed, adjusted the angle of the support arm 2 so that the stimulation head 5 was aligned with the lateral nerve part of the child's thigh. By adjusting the output parameters of the pulse generator 13, it was set to the low-frequency high-intensity mode, and the micro vibration motor 7 was started. During the treatment process, the child gradually showed slight contraction of the leg muscles, indicating that the nerve was effectively stimulated. After a period of continuous treatment, the child's lower limb motor ability was significantly improved. This case fully demonstrates the high efficiency and practicality of this device in pediatric nerve stimulation treatment.

[0024] In summary, a pediatric nerve stimulation assistance device with multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment function according to the present invention realizes the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment function of the stimulation head 5 through the coordinated cooperation of key components such as the base 1, the support arm 2, the joint block 3, the locking knob 4, and the stimulation head 5. The application of the flexible silicone layer 8 and the raised points 14 effectively improves the safety and comfort of the device, and the combination of the electrode patch 11 and the pulse generator 13 further enhances the treatment effect. Whether from the structural design or the actual application effect, this device has high practical value and popularization significance.

[0025] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
