Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sarcopenia screening, in particular to a sarcopenia screening tool. Background Art

[0002] Sarcopenia refers to a syndrome caused by the continuous loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength and function. Skeletal muscle is the driving force of the human body's motor system. Muscle aging and atrophy are important signs of human aging, and are very likely to cause problems such as fractures and joint injuries. Elderly people with sarcopenia have difficulty standing, walk slowly, and are prone to falls and fractures.

[0003] There are many screening methods for sarcopenia in the existing technology, such as conventional walking speed test. This test method is relatively simple and is often used as a screening tool: let the elderly walk a predetermined distance at their daily walking speed and record the time. If the speed is ≤0.8 meters per second (m / s), it is necessary to be alert to whether they have sarcopenia; then a systematic examination is carried out;

[0004] In the prior art, such screening tools, such as the Chinese patented sarcopenia screening gait meter with application number 202020665798.2, start timing inside the processing module when the tester walks on the base mat and passes through the first sensing bar, and stop timing inside the processing module when the tester passes through the second sensing bar. Calculations are performed inside the processing module, and the calculated average speed is reported through the speaker on the processing module port; however, this device has no protective structure and no guardrails. Such equipment is generally used by the elderly, and the elderly generally try to walk as fast as possible during the test. The lack of a guardrail can easily cause the elderly to fall from the upper end of the device, which can easily lead to danger. Therefore, an improved sarcopenia screening tool is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content
