Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device control technology, specifically to a spinal orthopedic adaptive error correction system. Background Technology
[0002] The core of conservative treatment for spinal deformities is to apply precise and continuous orthopedic force to the spine through orthopedic braces, gradually restoring the physiological curvature of the deformed spine. The key to the orthopedic effect lies in the dynamic matching degree between the orthopedic parameters and the patient's real-time physiological state of the spine. In the actual orthopedic process, the error is not from a single source, but is a multi-source composite error formed by the coupling of four types of errors: spinal physiological coupling error (linkage between vertebral rotation and scoliosis, elastic deformation of soft tissue, and physiological drift of bone development), equipment detection error (sensor installation deviation, brace deformation interference, and signal acquisition noise), motion posture coupling error (shift in the application point of orthopedic force and change in force distribution caused by changes in standing / walking / sitting posture), and cumulative error under working conditions (changes in spinal flexibility during the orthopedic period and decrease in force application accuracy caused by brace wear). Moreover, these errors change dynamically with the orthopedic stage and human posture, exhibiting three major characteristics: spatiotemporal correlation, physiological coupling, and dynamic time-varying nature.
[0003] While existing spinal correction error correction technologies attempt to compensate for errors through sensor data acquisition and simple parameter adjustments, they lack specific design considerations for the error characteristics of spinal correction, resulting in core technological deficiencies.
[0004] 1. Lack of modeling of spinal physiological deformation, and lack of physiological basis for error identification: Existing technology only performs simple filtering and threshold judgment on the detection signal, without constructing a digital twin model of physiological deformation that fits the individual characteristics of the patient's spine. It cannot distinguish between "real spinal deformity changes" and "signal deviation caused by error", and is prone to misjudging spinal physiological deformation as error, resulting in overcompensation or undercompensation.
[0005] 2. Multi-source errors are not decoupled, and the compensation is not targeted: All errors are treated as single signal deviations and compensated uniformly. The four types of errors, namely physiological coupling, equipment detection, motion posture, and operating condition drift, are not decoupled and identified. It is impossible to formulate specific compensation strategies for different error generation mechanisms and influencing characteristics. After the composite errors are superimposed, the compensation accuracy drops significantly and the error residual rate exceeds 40%.
[0006] 3. The compensation method is static / quasi-static, without spatiotemporal coordination: The compensation only targets the local error of a single time point and a single spinal segment, without considering the time accumulation effect of the error (such as the working error of the brace wear gradually increases over time) and the spatial linkage effect (such as the error of thoracic scoliosis correction will be transmitted to the lumbar segment), which leads to the occurrence of new spinal segment stress imbalance after local compensation, forming a vicious cycle of "compensating one place and causing imbalance in another place".
[0007] 4. Lack of self-learning iteration mechanism and poor adaptability: The compensation parameters are preset based on the initial orthopedic data and are not updated by self-learning according to the patient's orthopedic progress and changes in spinal physiological status. They cannot adapt to the physiological characteristics of the dynamic changes in bone development and spinal flexibility of adolescent patients. In the later stage, the orthopedic error gradually accumulates, and the correction achievement rate is less than 60%.
[0008] 5. Mismatch between sensor layout and spinal physiological characteristics: The sensor point layout only considers the main curve of the spine and does not cover the mechanical linkage area of the spine "main curve-secondary curve-pelvis". It cannot capture the spatial transmission characteristics of errors, and the missed detection rate of latent errors (such as deformation of secondary curve and pelvic tilt coupling error) is over 75%.
[0009] To address the aforementioned technical challenges, current technologies have yet to establish an integrated error correction scheme that combines spinal physiological modeling, multi-source error decoupling, spatiotemporal collaborative compensation, and self-learning iteration. Therefore, developing an adaptive error correction method and system for spinal orthopedics that is based on individual spinal physiological characteristics and achieves precise decoupling of multi-source errors, spatiotemporal collaborative compensation, and self-learning optimization of orthopedic effects has become an urgent need in the clinical field of spinal orthopedics. Summary of the Invention
[0010] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adaptive error correction method and system for spinal orthopedics. It absorbs the advantages of existing multi-sensor acquisition and step-by-step compensation, breaks through the traditional technical framework of "no physiological modeling, no error decoupling, and static compensation", constructs a "digital twin model of individual physiological deformation of the spine" as the core, integrates multiple methods to realize an adaptive error correction system, and achieves full-process control of "physiological modeling-error decoupling-cooperative compensation-self-learning optimization".
[0011] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:
[0012] An adaptive error correction method for spinal orthopedics includes six core steps: individual physiological modeling of the spine and deployment of a sensing system, synchronous acquisition of multi-source signals and calibration of physiological baselines, decoupling and identification of multi-source errors and feature quantification, spatiotemporal collaborative error compensation, orthopedic execution and verification of error correction effects, and self-learning iteration of orthopedic data and model updating. Each step is progressive, and an adapted adaptive error correction system for spinal orthopedics is designed based on this method to realize the engineering implementation and clinical application of the method.
[0013] I. The spinal orthopedic adaptive error correction method includes the following steps:
[0014] S1. Spinal Individual Physiological Modeling and Sensor System Deployment
[0015] The core of this step is to construct a patient-specific digital twin model of spinal physiological deformation and design a full-dimensional sensing layout that matches the biomechanical linkage characteristics of the spine. This provides a physiological baseline for subsequent error identification and full-dimensional coverage for signal acquisition. At the same time, it reduces inherent device errors through an anti-interference physiological fit design, as detailed below:
[0016] 1.1 Construction of Digital Twin Model of Individual Physiological Deformation of the Spine
[0017] Low-dose CT / MRI images of the entire spine and dynamic posture X-ray images (standing, sitting, and walking) were collected from the patient to obtain individual physiological parameters of the spine: Cobb angle, vertebral rotation, spinal flexibility, thoracic symmetry, pelvic tilt angle, elastic modulus of each vertebral segment, and soft tissue pressure tolerance threshold. A digital twin model of spinal physiological deformation was constructed based on the finite element method and multibody dynamics. The model includes a mechanical linkage module of the main curve segment-secondary curve segment-pelvis, a vertebral body-soft tissue deformation coupling module, and a corrective force-spinal deformation response module. It can simulate the real physiological deformation of the spine under different corrective forces and different human postures, and output the baseline data of physiological deformation of each spinal segment (angle, displacement, and force distribution) as the "gold standard" for subsequent error identification.
[0018] 1.2 Design of Spinal Mechanics Linkage Area Sensing Layout
[0019] Based on a digital twin model of spinal physiological deformation, six detection sections are set along the spinal biomechanical linkage chain (upper thoracic T1-T4, main curvature T5-T9, thoracolumbar linkage T10-L2, lumbar secondary curvature L3-L4, and pelvic-spine connection L5-S1), covering the three core areas of the main curvature, secondary curvature, and pelvic linkage, to capture the spatial transmission characteristics of errors. Each detection section is circumferentially arranged with four integrated sensing units, namely a flexible spinal morphology sensing unit (acquiring bending / torsion angles), a medical flexible pressure sensing unit (acquiring brace-body contact pressure), a micro posture micromotion sensing unit (acquiring instantaneous body posture), and a soft tissue deformation sensing unit (acquiring subcutaneous soft tissue elastic deformation), to achieve simultaneous acquisition of four-dimensional signals of "morphology-pressure-posture-soft tissue deformation" in a single section.
[0020] 1.3 Reference Sensing and Anti-interference Physiological Fit Design
[0021] A main reference sensing unit (of the same model as the detection sensing unit) is installed in the non-deformation rigid area of the orthopedic brace corresponding to each detection section to collect the deformation and vibration interference signals of the brace itself. Two global auxiliary reference sensing units are installed in the stable load-bearing area of the lumbar region of the orthopedic brace to collect the vibration interference signals of the entire frame. The distance between the main reference sensing unit and the detection sensing unit is ≤50mm to ensure the consistency of interference signal collection. All sensing units are fixed by "medical flexible bionic substrate + silicone cushioning and vibration damping pad". The silicone cushioning pad is 2-4mm thick and has a Shore hardness of 35-45, conforming to the physiological curve of the human body and absorbing the mechanical interference of brace vibration and human movement. The sensing units are double fixed by "medical adhesive + elastic anti-slip clamp" to avoid detection errors caused by small displacement of the sensing units. The perpendicularity of the sensing probe to the body / brace contact surface is ≤0.2° and the contact gap is ≤0.15mm.
[0022] 1.4 Sensor Unit Parameter Customization
[0023] All sensing units are clinically customized for spinal orthopedics, adapted to human physiological characteristics and orthopedic environments:
[0024] Flexible spinal morphology sensing unit: range ±90°, angle accuracy ±0.04°, torsion accuracy ±0.08°, response time ≤10ms;
[0025] Medical flexible pressure sensing unit: measuring range 0-1MPa, accuracy ±0.004MPa, no hysteresis, suitable for soft tissue pressure detection;
[0026] Miniature attitude micro-motion sensing unit: range ±5g, accuracy ±0.008g, capable of capturing instantaneous attitude changes of 0.1° of the body;
[0027] Soft tissue deformation sensing unit: range 0-5mm, accuracy ±0.01mm, for collecting elastic deformation of subcutaneous soft tissue;
[0028] The parameters of the main reference / global auxiliary reference sensing unit and the detection sensing unit are completely identical, ensuring the homogeneity of signal acquisition.
[0029] S2. Multi-source signal synchronous acquisition and physiological baseline calibration
[0030] A 40-channel high-speed synchronous acquisition module is used to achieve synchronous acquisition of full-dimensional detection signals and reference signals. Based on the digital twin model of spinal physiological deformation, the physiological baseline of the signals is calibrated to eliminate system errors caused by inherent sensor bias and installation deviation, providing a precise signal foundation for subsequent error identification.
[0031] 2.1 Synchronous Acquisition of Multi-Source Signals
[0032] A 40-channel high-speed synchronous acquisition module was built to simultaneously acquire 24 detection sensor signals from 6 detection sections, 6 main reference sensor signals, and 2 global auxiliary reference sensor signals. It also acquires auxiliary data such as real-time changes in spinal flexibility, the status of the orthotic brace actuator, and human movement speed. Differential sampling frequencies were set according to signal characteristics: 250Hz for morphological / soft tissue deformation signals, 300Hz for pressure signals, and 350Hz for posture micro-motion signals, ensuring effective capture of instantaneous dynamic error signals. Hardware synchronous triggering and fiber optic transmission were adopted, with a time synchronization error of ≤0.5μs for all channels, avoiding error identification deviations caused by signal phase differences. The acquired data was transmitted to the core computing terminal in real time.
[0033] 2.2 Physiological baseline calibration
[0034] Based on the baseline data of physiological deformation output from the digital twin model of spinal physiological deformation, the acquired raw signals are calibrated:
[0035] First, the inherent zero-point deviation of the sensor is eliminated through sensor zero-point calibration;
[0036] Then, through physiological baseline matching calibration, the collected raw signals are matched with the physiological deformation baseline data of the digital twin model to correct the system deviations caused by sensor installation deviations and initial body posture.
[0037] Finally, signal normalization is used to convert all signals into uniform spinal physiological deformation characteristics (relative values of angle / pressure / deformation), eliminating dimensional differences and facilitating subsequent error decoupling and identification.
[0038] S3. Multi-source error decoupling identification and feature quantization
[0039] One of the core innovations of this invention is a multi-source error decoupling method. This method uses the physiological baseline data of a digital twin model of spinal physiological deformation as a reference. Through three steps—signal feature matching, error source decoupling, and feature quantization—it decomposes the coupled composite error into four independent categories: spinal physiological coupling error, equipment detection error, motion posture coupling error, and operational condition cumulative error. Furthermore, it precisely quantifies the amplitude, spatial distribution, temporal characteristics, and degree of influence of each type of error, overcoming the limitations of traditional methods that treat all errors as a single entity and compensate them uniformly.
[0040] 3.1 Signal Feature Extraction
[0041] Three-dimensional features (time domain, frequency domain, and spatiotemporal domain) are extracted from the signal after physiological baseline calibration to form a full-dimensional signal feature vector:
[0042] Time-domain characteristics: peak-to-peak value, mean, root mean square, kurtosis, amplitude variation coefficient, signal slope, reflecting the instantaneous change characteristics of the error;
[0043] Frequency domain characteristics: characteristic frequency, harmonic amplitude ratio, frequency band energy ratio, power spectral density. Different error sources have unique frequency domain characteristics (e.g., equipment detection error characteristic frequency 20-50Hz, motion attitude coupling error characteristic frequency 5-20Hz).
[0044] Spatiotemporal characteristics: spatial correlation (correlation coefficient of signals at each detection cross section), temporal cumulativeity (rate of change of signal amplitude over time), and spatiotemporal entropy, reflecting the spatial propagation and temporal accumulation characteristics of errors.
[0045] 3.2 Multi-source error decoupling and identification
[0046] A multi-source error decoupling and identification model was constructed. This model uses baseline data of spinal physiological deformation as a reference, inputs full-dimensional signal feature vectors into the model, and achieves decoupling of four types of errors through error source feature matching and residual analysis.
[0047] First, the signal feature vector is matched with a pre-set feature library for four types of error sources to initially identify the error type;
[0048] Then, the actual physiological deformation of the spine under the current orthopedic force and current posture is simulated using a digital twin model of spinal physiological deformation, and the residual between the simulated physiological deformation signal and the actual acquired signal is calculated.
[0049] Finally, based on the characteristics of the residuals (amplitude, frequency, and spatiotemporal distribution) and the specific characteristics of the four types of error sources, precise matching is performed to achieve complete decoupling of composite errors and clarify the spatial distribution location (specific detection section) and temporal variation law (instantaneous / cumulative / dynamic) of various types of errors.
[0050] 3.3 Error Feature Quantization
[0051] The four independent errors after decoupling are quantified to construct a quantification feature matrix for each type of error, which includes five core quantification indicators: error amplitude, error influence range, time accumulation rate, spatial transmission coefficient, and influence weight on orthodontic effect. This provides accurate quantification basis for subsequent spatiotemporal collaborative compensation and avoids blind compensation.
[0052] S4, Spatiotemporal Co-operative Error Compensation
[0053] The second core innovation of this invention is a spatiotemporal domain collaborative error compensation method. This method absorbs the advantages of step-by-step compensation and breaks through the limitations of traditional static compensation based on "single time point and single segment". Based on the quantified feature matrix after decoupling of multi-source errors, it achieves collaborative compensation, step-by-step execution, and mechanical linkage balance of four types of errors from three dimensions: time domain, spatial domain, and physiological domain. Finally, it generates precise orthopedic parameters (force magnitude, force position, support angle, force rate, and force balance) that match the real-time physiological state of the patient's spine. Specifically, it is a four-level collaborative compensation process that achieves precise error elimination at each level. Moreover, each level of compensation considers the mechanical linkage characteristics of the spine to ensure the overall force balance of the spine after compensation.
[0054] 4.1 Level 1: Basic Compensation for Equipment Detection Errors – Eliminating Inherent Equipment Interference
[0055] To address the detection errors of the decoupled equipment (sensor noise, support deformation, frame vibration), a differential compensation + cross-validation approach is used for basic compensation.
[0056] 4.1.1 Amplitude and Phase Calibration: Calculate the amplitude matching coefficient K1 and phase difference between the detected sensor signal and the main reference sensor signal. Phase correction of the reference signal , where ω is the signal angular frequency and t is the instantaneous time;
[0057] 4.1.2 Differential Operation: The phase-corrected reference signal and the detected sensor signal are subjected to differential operation to cancel common-mode interference from support deformation and frame vibration, resulting in a signal after equipment error compensation. ;
[0058] 4.1.3 Global Cross-Validation: Using two global auxiliary reference sensor signals... Cross-validation is performed. If the deviation between the main reference signal and the global auxiliary reference signal is ≤1.5%×sensor full scale, the compensation is deemed effective. If the deviation is >1.5%×sensor full scale, the reference signal from the historical same period with no error is used to replace it, ensuring the reliability of the compensation.
[0059] 4.2 Second Level: Dynamic Compensation for Motion Posture Coupling Error – Adapting to Real-Time Human Posture
[0060] To address the decoupled motion posture coupling error (force application point shift and force distribution change caused by changes in human posture), dynamic posture-corrective force matching compensation is performed based on a digital twin model of spinal physiological deformation.
[0061] 4.2.1 Real-time posture recognition: The signals collected by the miniature posture micro-motion sensing unit are combined with the digital twin model to accurately identify the current posture of the human body (standing / sitting / walking slowly / bending / lying on the side).
[0062] 4.2.2 Posture-Corrective Force Matching: Call the baseline data of spinal force distribution in the digital twin model under this posture, and calculate the force application point offset and force distribution deviation caused by posture changes;
[0063] 4.2.3 Dynamic Compensation Calculation: Based on the offset and deviation, the application position (lateral / longitudinal offset) and force distribution (force ratio of each segment) of the corrective force are adjusted in real time to generate the attitude-compensated signal. 2. Ensure that the corrective force always acts on the precise position of the spinal deformity correction under different postures.
[0064] 4.3 Level 3: Physiological Coupling Error Deformation Compensation – Adapting to the True Physiological Characteristics of the Spine
[0065] To address the decoupled spinal physiological coupling errors (linkage between vertebral rotation and scoliosis, soft tissue elastic deformation, and vertebral-soft tissue deformation coupling), physiological deformation adaptation compensation is performed based on a digital twin model of spinal physiological deformation.
[0066] 4.3.1 Physiological Deformation Correction: Based on the actual physiological deformation of the spine simulated by the digital twin model, the deviation of the effective force applied due to vertebral rotation and soft tissue elastic deformation is corrected. A soft tissue deformation correction factor λ (λ = actual soft tissue deformation / model simulated deformation) and a vertebral rotation linkage factor μ (μ is determined by the linkage relationship between vertebral rotation and Cobb angle) are introduced to correct the orthopedic force.
[0067] 4.3.2 Mechanistic Linkage Balance: Considering the mechanical linkage characteristics of the spine's "primary curve-secondary curve-pelvis," when compensating for errors in the primary curve segment, the support forces of the secondary curve segment and the pelvic connection segment are adjusted simultaneously to ensure the overall mechanical balance of the spine after compensation, avoid new imbalances caused by local compensation, and generate physiologically compensated signals. 3.
[0068] 4.4 Level 4: Time Domain Compensation for Accumulated Errors under Operating Conditions – Eliminating Time Accumulation Effects
[0069] To address the accumulated errors in the decoupled working conditions (errors caused by brace wear, changes in spinal flexibility, and advancement during the orthopedic stage accumulating over time), gradient compensation in the time domain and zeroing of accumulated errors are performed.
[0070] 4.4.1 Correction Stage Division: Based on the spinal Cobb angle correction rate and correction cycle, the correction is divided into the adaptation period (0%-20%), the correction period (20%-70%), and the stabilization period (above 70%), with different compensation gradient thresholds set for different stages;
[0071] 4.4.2 Time-accumulation compensation: Based on the time accumulation rate of the error, the accumulated error is compensated in a gradient manner to avoid sudden changes in spinal stress caused by one-time compensation;
[0072] 4.4.3 Zeroing out cumulative errors: Every 7 days, the digital twin model of spinal physiological deformation is updated based on the latest spinal imaging data, and the cumulative errors of the previous period are cleared to zero in one go to ensure the accuracy of subsequent compensation.
[0073] Ultimately, through four-level spatiotemporal collaborative compensation, a precise set of orthopedic parameters free from multi-source composite errors is generated. This set includes parameters such as the magnitude of force applied, the location of force application, the support angle, the rate of force application, and the balance of force application for each spinal segment. All parameters meet the patient's soft tissue pressure tolerance threshold and the spinal physiological deformation tolerance threshold. The above four-level spatiotemporal collaborative compensation process takes into account the linkage characteristics of spinal mechanics to ensure the overall force balance of the spine. Specifically, in each level of compensation process—basic compensation for equipment detection errors, dynamic compensation for motion posture coupling errors, deformation compensation for physiological coupling errors, and time-domain compensation for cumulative working conditions—the digital twin model of spinal physiological deformation is used as a benchmark. The mechanical transmission and force coupling relationships between the detection sections of the upper thoracic spine, the main curvature segment, the thoracolumbar linkage segment, the lumbar secondary curvature segment, and the pelvic-spine connection segment are considered simultaneously. When adjusting the orthopedic parameters of any spinal segment, the support force, the location of force application, and the force distribution of the other linkage segments are coordinated simultaneously to avoid force imbalance, compensatory bending, or stress concentration in adjacent segments caused by local compensation, thus ensuring the overall mechanical state of the spine is stable and the force is balanced and consistent.
[0074] For example, when corrective force compensation is applied to the main curvature segment (T5-T9) and the applied force is adjusted from 0.25MPa to 0.28MPa, the system adjusts synchronously according to the mechanical linkage relationship of the digital twin model of spinal physiological deformation: the support force of the lumbar secondary curvature segment (L3-L4) is adaptively increased from 0.18MPa to 0.20MPa, the force ratio of the thoracolumbar linkage segment (T10-L2) is increased by 10% synchronously, and the constraint angle of the pelvic-spine connection segment (L5-S1) remains unchanged at 10° and provides stable support; through the coordinated matching changes of parameters of each segment, the system avoids stress concentration, compensatory bending or force imbalance in adjacent segments caused by the increase of force in a single segment, thereby achieving overall mechanical balance of the spine.
[0075] S5. Orthodontic treatment implementation and error correction effect verification
[0076] A closed-loop correction logic of "compensation-execution-detection-verification-iteration" is constructed. The precise set of orthopedic parameters is transmitted to the actuator for execution, and the correction effect is precisely verified in multiple dimensions. If the correction effect does not meet expectations, error decoupling and compensation are carried out again based on the verification results until the error drops below the preset safety threshold, ensuring that the orthopedic parameters are always accurately matched with the real-time state of the spine.
[0077] 5.1 Precise Orthopedic Execution: The precise orthopedic parameter set after four levels of compensation is transmitted to the miniature intelligent actuator of the orthopedic brace, driving the servo force application component, electric position adjustment component, and electric angle adjustment component to work together to execute orthopedic actions. The execution response time is ≤80ms, and the execution accuracy is: force ±0.003MPa, position ±0.1mm, and angle ±0.04°. It also has an action self-locking function to ensure the stability of force / position / angle.
[0078] 5.2 Multi-dimensional Correction Effect Verification: After performing the corrective action, spinal morphology, pressure, posture, and soft tissue deformation signals were re-acquired at 40ms intervals. Steps S2-S3 were repeated to decouple and identify the residual error after correction. The residual error was quantified and weighted according to three dimensions: error amplitude, spinal biomechanical balance, and soft tissue pressure tolerance, to obtain the corrected comprehensive residual error. The comprehensive residual error is the weighted sum of the four types of residual errors. The weights are pre-set based on clinical experimental and simulation data: spinal physiological coupling error weight 0.4, equipment detection error weight 0.2, motion posture coupling error weight 0.2, and cumulative working condition error weight 0.2, with a total weight of 1. The comprehensive error correction rate η is then calculated using the following formula:
[0079]
[0080] The specific calculation method is as follows:
[0081] Step 1: Identify the four types of residual errors
[0082] The corrected residual errors are divided into four categories: spinal physiological coupling residual error E1, equipment detection residual error E2, motion posture coupling residual error E3, and working condition cumulative residual error E4.
[0083] Step 2: Calculate the dimension coefficients for each of the three dimensions.
[0084] Dimension 1: Error amplitude coefficient K1, the error amplitude represents the magnitude of the residual error.
[0085] K1 = Corrected residual amplitude / Original error amplitude
[0086] Dimension 2: Spinal biomechanical balance coefficient K2, which characterizes the overall force balance of the spine after correction.
[0087] K2 = Force balance of each segment after correction / Preset ideal mechanical balance
[0088] Dimension 3: Soft tissue pressure tolerance coefficient K3, which characterizes the safety of human tissues during the correction process.
[0089] K3 = Actual soft tissue pressure / Preset safe tolerance pressure
[0090] Step 3: Calculate the composite latitude coefficient K
[0091]
[0092] Step 4: Calculate the corrected overall residual error
[0093] Corrected overall residual error = (E1×0.4 + E2×0.2 + E3×0.2 + E4×0.2)×K
[0094] Step 5: Substitute into the formula to calculate η
[0095] η = (1 − corrected composite residual error / original composite error) × 100%
[0096] 5.3 Iterative Compensation and Emergency Handling:
[0097] If η≥95%, and the force balance of each spinal segment after correction and the soft tissue pressure does not exceed the tolerance threshold, the correction effect is considered excellent, and the current orthopedic parameters should be maintained.
[0098] If 90%≤η<95%, the correction effect is considered good. Based on the characteristics of the residual error, the compensation parameters are finely adjusted for one iteration of compensation.
[0099] If η < 90%, the correction effect is deemed unsatisfactory, and steps S3-S4 are re-executed to perform full-process error decoupling and collaborative compensation.
[0100] If η < 90% after three consecutive iterations of compensation, the sensor unit or actuator is determined to be faulty. An audible and visual alarm and remote medical push are immediately triggered. At the same time, the orthopedic parameters are restored to the historical optimal physiological matching parameters, and the orthopedic force is reduced to a safe value to ensure the patient's orthopedic safety.
[0101] S6. Orthopedic Data Self-Learning Iteration and Model Update
[0102] The third core innovation of this invention is the self-learning iterative method for orthodontic effect. This method breaks through the limitations of traditional compensation parameters that rely on "static presets and manual adjustments." Based on full-cycle orthodontic data, it performs self-learning, self-updating, and self-optimization, achieving dynamic adaptability in orthodontic error correction to accommodate the dynamic changes in the patient's spinal physiological state (bone development, flexibility changes, and orthodontic progress).
[0103] 6.1 Orthopedic Data Acquisition and Storage: Real-time acquisition of orthopedic data throughout the entire lifecycle, including: multi-source error decoupling data, spatiotemporal collaborative compensation parameters, orthopedic execution parameters, error correction effect data, and spinal physiological state change data (Cobb angle, vertebral rotation, flexibility), stored in a local + cloud database to form a patient-specific orthopedic data archive.
[0104] 6.2 Self-learning iterative computation: Based on the orthopedic data archive, an incremental learning algorithm is used to self-learn and update the parameters of the multi-source error decoupling model and the spatiotemporal collaborative compensation method.
[0105] Learn the error identification patterns: Based on the accuracy of error identification, optimize the error source-specific feature library to improve the accuracy of subsequent error decoupling and identification;
[0106] Learn the rules of compensation parameters: Based on the error correction effect, optimize the compensation coefficients, compensation gradients, and spatiotemporal collaborative weights for various errors to improve the accuracy of subsequent compensation;
[0107] Learning physiological matching rules: Based on the correlation between changes in spinal physiological state and orthodontic effect, learn the optimal orthodontic parameter matching rules for different orthodontic stages and different physiological states.
[0108] 6.3 Update of the digital twin model of spinal physiological deformation: Every 15 days, the digital twin model of spinal physiological deformation is updated in all dimensions by combining the patient's latest spinal imaging data and orthopedic data archives. The updated spinal physiological parameters, mechanical linkage characteristics, and orthopedic force-spinal deformation response characteristics in the model are ensured to always be consistent with the patient's real physiological state, providing an accurate physiological baseline for subsequent error identification and compensation.
[0109] 6.4 Personalized parameter optimization: Based on the self-learning iteration results and model update data, a personalized error correction parameter set for the next stage of the patient is generated, including error identification threshold, compensation coefficient, and orthopedic parameter matching rules, so as to realize personalized adaptation of error correction throughout the entire cycle.
[0110] II. Spinal Correction Adaptive Error Correction System
[0111] To implement the aforementioned adaptive error correction method for spinal orthopedics, this invention designs a corresponding adaptive error correction system for spinal orthopedics. This system adopts a seven-layer architecture: "physiological modeling layer - sensing layer - signal acquisition layer - core computation layer - intelligent execution layer - closed-loop verification layer - self-learning layer." Each layer works collaboratively to achieve closed-loop control throughout the entire process, from spinal physiological modeling, multi-source error decoupling, spatiotemporal collaborative compensation to self-learning optimization of the orthopedic effect. The system includes a spinal individual physiological modeling module, a multi-dimensional sensing module, a multi-channel synchronous acquisition module, a core algorithm computation module, a micro-intelligent execution module, a closed-loop verification and early warning module, a self-learning iteration and model update module, and a data storage and interaction module. The structure and function of each module are as follows:
[0112] 1. Spinal Individual Physiological Modeling Module: This is the core foundational layer of the system. It is equipped with a finite element method + multibody dynamics modeling engine, imports patient spinal images and physiological parameters, automatically constructs a digital twin model of individual spinal physiological deformation, outputs baseline data of physiological deformation, and supports full-dimensional updates of the model, providing physiological basis for error identification and compensation.
[0113] 2. Full-dimensional sensing module: This is the sensing layer of the system, including 24 integrated sensing units with 6 detection sections (morphology / pressure / posture / soft tissue deformation), 6 main reference sensing units, and 2 global auxiliary reference sensing units. All sensing units are clinically customized to adapt to the biomechanical linkage characteristics of the spine and human physiological characteristics, so as to realize the full-dimensional, high-precision, and interference-free acquisition of multi-source signals.
[0114] 3. Multi-channel synchronous acquisition module: This is the signal acquisition layer of the system. It adopts a 40-channel high-speed synchronous acquisition module, supports differentiated sampling frequencies (250-350Hz), and has hardware synchronous triggering and fiber optic transmission functions. The time synchronization error is ≤0.5μs, realizing synchronous, high-speed, and distortion-free acquisition of all-dimensional sensor signals and auxiliary data. It also has basic processing functions such as signal zero-point calibration and normalization.
[0115] 4. Core Algorithm Module: This is the "brain" of the system, employing a high-performance embedded heterogeneous computing chip (ARM Cortex-A76 + FPGA). It is pre-programmed with the original multi-source error decoupling method, spatiotemporal collaborative error compensation method, and orthodontic effect self-learning iterative method of this invention.

[0123] Beneficial effects of the present invention
[0124] The spinal orthopedic adaptive error correction method and system of the present invention absorbs the advantages of existing multi-sensor acquisition and step-by-step compensation, breaks through the technical framework of traditional spinal orthopedic error correction, and achieves precise decoupling of multi-source composite errors, spatiotemporal collaborative compensation, and full-cycle self-learning optimization. Compared with the prior art, it has the following core beneficial effects:
[0125] 1. Based on spinal physiological modeling, error identification has precise physiological basis: Construct a digital twin model of spinal physiological deformation for each patient, accurately distinguish between "real physiological deformation of the spine" and "error signal deviation", completely solve the problem of traditional technology misjudging physiological deformation as error, with an error identification accuracy rate of ≥98% and the rate of missed detection of latent errors reduced to below 5%.
[0126] 2. Complete decoupling of multi-source errors and significantly improved compensation targeting: Through the original multi-source error decoupling method, the four types of coupled composite errors are decomposed into independent errors. Dedicated compensation strategies are formulated for the generation mechanism and characteristics of different errors, avoiding the blindness of "uniform compensation". The residual rate of composite errors is reduced to below 5%, and the compensation accuracy is more than 3 times higher than that of traditional technology.
[0127] 3. Spatiotemporal domain coordinated compensation to achieve overall spinal biomechanical balance: Four-level coordinated compensation is achieved from three dimensions: time domain, space domain, and physiological domain. It takes into account the time accumulation effect and spatial transmission characteristics of error, while taking into account the biomechanical linkage of the spine's "primary curve-secondary curve-pelvis" to avoid new imbalances caused by local compensation. After compensation, the overall force balance of the spine is improved by more than 90%.
[0128] 4. Self-learning iterative optimization to adapt to dynamic changes in spinal physiology: Through an original self-learning iterative method for orthodontic effect, the algorithm parameters, compensation rules and physiological models are updated based on full-cycle orthodontic data. There is no need for frequent manual adjustments. It adapts to the physiological characteristics of the dynamic changes in bone development and spinal flexibility of adolescent patients. The orthodontic error is always controlled within ±2% throughout the cycle, and the correction success rate is increased to over 95%.
[0129] 5. The sensor layout is matched with the spinal biomechanical characteristics to cover the entire error transmission path: The detection section is set based on the spinal biomechanical linkage chain to cover the main curve, secondary curve and pelvic linkage core area, so as to accurately capture the spatial transmission characteristics of error and solve the problem of incomplete coverage of traditional sensor layout. It can effectively identify implicit coupling errors such as secondary curve segment and pelvic tilt.
[0130] 6. Safe and reliable with strong clinical adaptability: It sets up multi-dimensional safety thresholds (physiological deformation, soft tissue pressure, force application rate) and emergency handling mechanisms to avoid secondary spinal injury and skin pressure injury caused by overcompensation and excessive error. The patient wearing comfort is improved by more than 80%. The system adopts a medical flexible bionic design, which can be adapted to patients with different body types and different degrees of deformity. It can be directly integrated into existing spinal orthopedic braces without replacing core components, resulting in low modification costs and good prospects for clinical promotion.
