[0002] Orthopedic traction is a common method for treating orthopedic diseases such as fractures and dislocations. Traditional orthopedic traction methods have many shortcomings. For example, most orthopedic traction beds are manually controlled to adjust the traction force, which is not convenient for precise control of the force during the stretching process, and can easily cause secondary injury to the stretched part. The existing various traction methods use fixed supports with traction weights, which have potential risks of misalignment of the traction force line angle, and continuous static traction can easily increase the incidence of complications such as thrombosis and soft tissue injury. In addition, when medical staff perform orthopedic traction work, there is a lack of good auxiliary methods to improve the success rate and recovery condition before and after traction, and the recovery speed of the patient's affected limb cannot be guaranteed. Moreover, different symptoms require different traction forces, and medical staff need to spend a lot of effort to control the traction equipment.

When the traction device is in use, the pressure value needs to be extracted and adjusted through experiments to determine whether the pressure is qualified or not, and the traction work of the patient's affected limb is carried out accordingly; S4: auxiliary nursing: medical staff log in to the system to process and record the nursing of the patient, including the patient's blood condition, temperature condition, skin condition, traction equipment condition, placement condition of the affected limb position, and complication prevention treatment; S5: measuring and processing the patient's affected limb: measuring the length of the patient's affected limb and healthy limb and comparing them to process the traction equipment according to the measurement, including adjusting the weight of the traction equipment and controlling the reset timing.

The muscle group surface electromyography signals are collected by sensors directly attached to the patient's skin surface, which are not shown in the figure.
[0088] The method for obtaining the biomechanical characteristics comprises:
[0089] The left and right hand grip force signals are averaged to obtain the average grip force signals of both hands.

[0091] The time offset corresponding to the maximum value of the cross-correlation function of the average grip force signals of both hands and the traction force signals is calculated to obtain the response phase difference. For example, the response phase difference wherein, is the mathematical expectation; is the time offset; is the traction force signal at time t; is the two-handed average grip force signal at time t;

[0093] In the stage where the traction force signal remains constant, the peak value of the two-handed average grip force signal is identified, and the time required for the peak value to decay to half of the peak value is counted to obtain the relaxation delay time;

[0095] The surface electromyography signal of the muscle group is wavelet packet decomposed to obtain B frequency bands, each frequency band corresponds to a different muscle group state, such as 1-4Hz for fatigue signal and 20-50Hz for active contraction signal, the energy of each frequency band is calculated, and the normalized energy of the fatigue frequency band is taken as the frequency band energy; such as calculating the energy of each frequency band wherein, is the wavelet packet coefficient of the i-th frequency band; N is the number of sampling points in the window, and n is the index value of the number of sampling points in the window; the energy of each frequency band is normalized to obtain normalized energy, such as normalized energy wherein, is the normalized energy of the i-th frequency band, is the frequency band energy of the i-th frequency band; the normalized energy corresponding to the fatigue frequency band is selected as the frequency band energy;
[0096] The grip force fluctuation rate, response phase difference, force coordination, relaxation delay time, mutual information entropy and frequency band energy are spliced to obtain the biomechanical characteristics.
[0097] When the initial set of parameters in the initial scheme is used as the initial execution parameter to carry out traction, by collecting the original signal set containing the left and right hand grip forces, traction force and muscle surface electromyogram during traction, all original signals are first filtered, amplified, analog-digital converted and stamped with a uniform time stamp to obtain a synchronous signal set, and then key information is extracted from the signal set to analyze the biomechanical characteristics; the left and right hand grip forces are averaged to obtain a double-hand average grip force signal, the grip force fluctuation rate of the signal in a preset period, the response phase difference and force coordination with the traction force signal are calculated, the relaxation delay time is counted in the constant traction force stage, the mutual information entropy of the double-hand average grip force and the traction force signal is calculated by kernel density estimation method, and the frequency band energy of the muscle surface electromyogram signal is calculated by wavelet packet decomposition and normalized energy of the fatigue frequency band. After the biomechanical characteristics formed by splicing these features are input into the fear analysis model, the fear level is obtained. This process can accurately quantify the muscle abnormal resistance caused by psychological fear of patients, break through the limitation of existing methods that do not consider the psychological fear of patients during treatment, adapt the psychological state of patients based on the clear fear level for subsequent traction strategy adjustment, reduce the problem of reduced cooperation degree caused by fear, and thus improve the patient compliance and rehabilitation effect.

This process can accurately distinguish between muscle abnormalities caused by psychological fear and normal muscle fatigue: avoid misjudging muscle tension caused by fear as fatigue and blindly adjusting the traction load, and prevent the continuous application of uncomfortable load due to the failure to identify true muscle fatigue, which can help to more accurately adapt the traction strategy based on the fear level in the future, reduce the problem of strategy mismatch caused by signal misjudgment, further alleviate the fear of patients due to discomfort or misunderstanding, improve treatment compliance and adherence, and ultimately help to improve rehabilitation results, making up for the shortcomings of existing methods that do not consider psychological fear and are difficult to accurately adapt to patients' psychology.
