Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical detection equipment, in particular to a scoliosis measuring device. Background Art
[0002] Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine, usually in an "S" or "C" shape. This condition can be congenital or acquired. In congenital cases, it may be related to abnormalities in the bone development process, while acquired scoliosis may be caused by poor posture, muscle imbalance, injury or disease. Severe scoliosis can cause improper body posture and affect the position of internal organs, causing back pain, breathing problems, digestive difficulties and impaired heart and lung function. If untreated, scoliosis may worsen as you grow, causing more problems for the body and even affecting heart and lung function.
[0003] Complex scoliosis is not only manifested as abnormal curvature and angle of the spine in three-dimensional space, but also accompanied by the height difference of the patient's shoulders in the horizontal plane, that is, the asymmetry of high and low shoulders. At the same time, complex scoliosis will also cause asymmetry in the chest (lower edge of the ribs) and waist (upper edge of the ilium). This high and low shoulder degree is caused by the imbalance of body posture caused by the curvature of the spine. The asymmetry of scoliosis will cause different degrees of pressure on the muscles, ligaments or bones on one side of the shoulder or chest, resulting in inconsistent shoulder height. Asymmetry of the chest and waist is also caused by this, because the abnormal curvature of the spine will affect the overall balance of the body. Finally, complex scoliosis will extend to the cervical spine area, and one of its external manifestations is the asymmetry of the height of the mastoid processes behind the ears on both sides.
[0004] Traditional scoliometers focus on the curvature and angle of the spine in terms of measurement. For complex scoliosis, this method is difficult to provide accurate measurement results. Complex scoliosis extends to the cervical spine area, and one of its external manifestations is the asymmetry of the height of the mastoid processes behind the ears on both sides. However, the traditional scoliometer cannot directly measure the asymmetry of the mastoid processes behind the ears, and can only be evaluated by naked eye observation. This measurement method has the problems of strong subjectivity and poor accuracy, so it cannot provide accurate data and quantitative measurement results. This limitation makes it difficult to fully evaluate and accurately measure complex scoliosis. At the same time, although the traditional scoliometer can observe the degree of scoliosis, it cannot directly measure the height difference between the shoulders, let alone measure the asymmetry of the chest (lower edge of the ribs) and the waist (upper edge of the ilium). The height difference of these parts is also crucial for the evaluation of scoliosis, but due to the limitations of traditional instruments, it is impossible to directly obtain accurate measurement data. Therefore, the traditional observation method is easily affected by subjective factors, has a large subjectivity and error, and cannot provide comprehensive and accurate measurement and quantitative data.
[0005] In view of this, the present utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0038] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.
[0041] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0042] A scoliometer is a medical device used to measure and assess the degree of scoliosis. It is used to diagnose and monitor scoliosis, a condition in which the spine has an abnormal curvature that causes the spine to bend sideways. This instrument quantifies the curvature and angle of the spine, helping doctors assess the extent of the scoliosis and possible treatment. It can be tested by measuring the patient's posture and the curvature of the spine, and generates corresponding data for doctors to analyze and diagnose.
[0043] Uneven shoulders (asymmetric shoulder height) are usually a manifestation related to scoliosis, but it is difficult for a scoliometer to accurately measure the degree of uneven shoulders. This instrument cannot directly measure the height of the shoulders, and it is difficult to capture the asymmetry of the chest (lower edge of the ribs) and waist (upper edge of the ilium) because traditional instruments cannot directly measure the height differences in these parts. At the same time, the asymmetry of the mastoid process behind the ear will extend to the cervical spine when the range of scoliosis is very small, but traditional scoliometers also find it difficult to accurately measure the asymmetry of this area. On this basis, in order to accurately measure the symptoms of body asymmetry caused by scoliosis, the laser infrared assisted spine measurement device of the present application is proposed.
[0044] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 9 The laser infrared ray assisted spine measuring device provided by the utility model is introduced in detail.
[0045] First, according to the attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 3As shown, the laser infrared assisted spine measurement device provided by the utility model comprises a spine bending measurement bracket 200 and a detachable inertial measurement device 100, the latter being mounted on the former. The spine bending measurement bracket 200 is provided with a positioning mounting position 230 for placing the inertial measurement device 100. The mounting position 230 is provided with a mounting groove 232, and a protrusion 231 is provided in the mounting groove 232, and a groove 120 is provided on the housing 110 of the inertial measurement device 100, which cooperates with the protrusion 231 on the mounting position 230. The protrusion 231 is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 232 and can be inserted into the groove 120, and at the same time, the groove 120 of the housing 110 is connected to the external protrusion structure 130. The protruding structure 130 is composed of two connecting rods 131 and two swing arms 132. Each connecting rod 131 has a connecting end and a free end. The connecting end is fixed to the housing 110, and the free end is connected to the swing arm 132. The two connecting rods 131 are located on both sides of the protruding structure 130, and the two swing arms 132 are located between the two connecting rods 131. Specifically, the protrusion 231 includes a positioning column protrusion 233 and two lateral blocking bars 234. The positioning column protrusion 233 protrudes from the bottom of the mounting groove 232, and the lateral blocking bars 234 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the positioning column protrusion 233 and are located at one end of the positioning column protrusion 233 away from the spinal bending support 200. When the protrusion 231 is inserted into the groove 120, the positioning column 233 is located between the two connecting rods 131, the lateral stop bar 234 is located between the swing arm 132 and the outer surface of the housing 110, and the swing arm 132 is located between the lateral stop bar 234 and the bottom of the mounting groove 232, so that the protrusion 231 is clamped with the groove 120. After the inertial measurement device 100 is installed, the protrusion 231 is restricted between the two connecting rods 131, and the two swing arms 132 clamp the protrusion 231, firmly connecting the inertial measurement device 100 to the spinal bending bracket 200. After installation, a part of the protrusion structure 130 is located in the mounting groove 232, and the outer side is connected to the inner side, so that the mounting groove 232 tightly fixes the protrusion structure 130, ensuring that the inertial measurement device 100 does not loosen or shake after being connected to the mounting position 230, ensuring its stability on the spinal bending bracket 200 and establishing a firm connection.
[0046] The spinal curvature measuring support 200 is composed of a surface wall having a first side 201, a second side 202, a third side 203 and a fourth side 204, and these side surfaces are enclosed together to form a rectangular parallelepiped structure. The fourth side 204 of the spinal curvature measuring support 200 is provided with a spinal convex positioning groove 260. In one or more embodiments, the spinal convex positioning groove 260 is an arc-shaped structure, and the shape of the spinal convex positioning groove 260 matches the curvature of the spine to ensure that the support is correctly positioned on the patient's back and the spine can be fully fitted with the positioning groove.
[0047] When in use, the medical staff first fits the spinal curvature measuring bracket 200 to the patient's back and ensures that the convex positioning groove 260 accurately fits the patient's spine. The angle between the angle of the spinal curvature measuring bracket 200 and the horizontal plane represents the degree of scoliosis of the spine. The inertial measurement device 100 is detachably mounted on the bracket, and after the bracket angle is fixed, the angle can be accurately measured to quantify the scoliosis of the spine.
[0048] The inertial measurement unit 100 uses internal sensors (such as gyroscopes or accelerometers) to detect the tilt angle of the support. When the support is placed on the patient's back and aligned with the spine, these sensors can measure the angle of the support relative to the horizontal plane. This angle represents the degree of curvature of the spine, and doctors can use this data to assess the patient's scoliosis and formulate a treatment plan accordingly.
[0049] Due to the asymmetry of body posture caused by scoliosis, not only will there be high and low shoulder bevel, but also may involve asymmetry of other parts, such as asymmetry and bevel angle of mastoid process behind ear, and asymmetry of chest (lower edge of rib) and waist (upper edge of ilium). Therefore, spinal problems are not limited to scoliosis, but often involve dislocation of other parts of the body, such as the height of shoulder blades, hip joints and knee joints, all of which may cause asymmetry of body posture caused by spinal problems. However, the spinal curvature meter described above can only be used to measure the scoliosis angle, but cannot accurately measure the degree of high and low shoulder. However, the prior art often uses naked eye observation with ruler arrangement to estimate the degree of high and low shoulder, but this estimation is inaccurate. At the same time, it is even more impossible to quantitatively measure the asymmetry and bevel angle of mastoid process behind ear, and the asymmetry of chest (lower edge of rib) and waist (upper edge of ilium). In order to provide a more comprehensive and accurate spinal health assessment, the present application combines an inertial measurement unit and an infrared laser on this basis to locate key parts, which can not only measure the height of the shoulders, but also the height of the shoulder blades, as well as the height of the hip and knee joints, the height of the mastoid process behind the ears, the chest (lower edge of the ribs) and the waist (upper edge of the ilium). This comprehensive measurement provides more information about the overall body posture, not just the range of scoliosis. This is very valuable for doctors because they can more comprehensively evaluate the symmetry of the patient's posture, accurately diagnose and formulate personalized treatment plans. Specifically, the spinal curvature meter is aimed at the specific parts of the patient (shoulders, shoulder blades, hip and knee joints, mastoid process behind the ears, chest (lower edge of the ribs) and waist (upper edge of the ilium)), and the horizontal straight infrared laser is directed. When the infrared laser is directed at the target and aligned, the inertial measurement device 100 records the angle between the scoliometer and the horizontal plane. This angle represents the degree of the scoliosis of a specific part, because the change in the angle reflects the degree of deviation of the scoliometer relative to the horizontal plane. This design can accurately measure the deviation of the scoliometer relative to the horizontal plane by using an infrared laser to aim at a specific part and combining the angle recording of the inertial measurement device 100, thereby reflecting the degree of the scoliosis of a specific part of the patient's body.
[0050] See attached Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present invention, the spinal curvature measurement support 200 is composed of a bottom shell 500 and a surface shell 600. The bottom shell 500 is provided with a clamping groove 540, and the surface shell 600 is provided with a clamping portion 640. The surface shell 600 is connected with the clamping groove 540 through the clamping portion 640 so that the surface shell 600 and the bottom shell 500 are buckled and combined, so as to ensure the close combination between the bottom shell 500 and the surface shell 600, and form a closed spinal curvature measurement support 200.
[0051] See attached Figure 4 To Attachment Figure 8The face shell 600 is a component of the spinal curvature measurement support 200. The face shell 600 is the outer shell 110 of the entire structure. The face shell 600 includes a laser unit 610, an infrared laser control module 620 and a battery 630. The laser unit 610 includes a laser head 611 and a pressing block 612. In one or more embodiments, the structure of the laser head 611 is a cylinder with a circumferential surface. A continuous card slot extending along the entire circumferential surface is provided at one end away from the laser emitting part, and its structural form is an annular groove 120. The pressing block 612 includes a supporting body 61 and a supporting foot 62 connected to the bottom of the supporting body 61. The supporting body 61 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and a limiting hole 6121 for accommodating the laser head 611 is provided in the center of the top. The limiting hole 6121 matches the size of the laser head 611 to ensure that the laser head 611 is firmly installed. The support foot 62 is located at the bottom and contacts the bottom of the face shell 600 during installation, providing additional support and maintaining the stability of the pressing block 612. Support fixing positions 6122 are provided at both ends of the edge of the support fixing body 61, which are used to be fixedly connected to the face shell 600 to form a stable state. Specifically, the support fixing position 6122 is connected to the reserved support fixing column 690 on the face shell 600 through a screw, forming a stable connection between the pressing block 612 and the face shell 600. At the same time, the two support fixing columns 690 and the support foot 62 are supported at three points and contact the bottom of the face shell 600, providing more stable stability. In addition, a protrusion 6120 is provided inside the support foot 62 at the bottom of the pressing block 612, which is used to match the card slot 6110 of the laser head 611. Specifically, the protrusion 6120 is an annular protrusion, and its internal and external contours are adapted to the structure of the card slot of the laser head 611. The card slot is a groove 120 extending around the circumference of the cylinder. The design of the circumferential surface makes it match the protrusion 6120. The geometric shape of the card slot matches the shape of the protrusion 6120, so that the protrusion 6120 can be inserted into the card slot. The protrusion 6120 is inserted into the card slot 6110 of the laser head 611, and an interlocking structure is formed between the two, so that the laser head 611 is firmly fixed in the pressing block 612, thereby maintaining stability. The laser head is also provided with a calibration part, and the calibration part includes a straight groove for calibrating the infrared to ensure that it is in a horizontal position. The back of the infrared laser control module 620 has a charging indicator light 621 and a charging port 623 for charging operation and status indication. The charging indicator light is located on the back of the module. In one or more embodiments, the charging indicator light is an LED indicator light for displaying the charging status. The charging port 623 is used to insert a charger to provide electrical energy. A touch press switch 622 is provided on the front of the infrared laser control module 620.The touch-press switch 622 is connected to the bottom of the face shell 600. At the same time, a switch button 290 is provided on the outside of the spinal bending bracket 200. The switch button 290 is a press-type switch, located outside the face shell 600 and connected to the touch-press switch 622 at the bottom of the face shell 600. The touch-press switch 622 is a compression spring structure, one end of which is embedded in the switch button 290 of the face shell 600, and the other end is embedded in the front of the infrared laser control module 620. At the same time, module positioning holes 624 are provided at both ends of the infrared laser control module 620, and the module positioning holes 624 are connected to the face shell 600 by screws to form a relative stable state to ensure its stability and reliability. The switch button 290 is pressed to transmit the pressure to the compression spring so that it can perform an action when subjected to external pressure, thereby triggering the action of the touch-press switch 622, and then controlling the switch state of the laser head 611. In general, by pressing the switch key, the touch press switch 622 is triggered so that when receiving external pressure, it can trigger the action of controlling the switch state of the laser head 611, providing a convenient operation experience. The battery 630 is installed in the closed space inside the face shell 600. The bottom of the closed space is the bottom of the face shell 600, and the top is the infrared laser control module 620. The space movement is limited by the limit baffle 680 and the support fixing column 690, so as to ensure that the battery 630 remains stable relative to the face shell 600.
[0052] The bottom shell 500 is a component of the spinal bending bracket 200, and is provided with a laser hole 510, an indicator light hole 530 and a charging hole 520. The laser hole 510 provides a channel for the laser head 611 in the laser part 610 to emit laser light, so that it can be emitted from the inside to the outside. The laser head 611 is placed in the laser hole 510, thereby realizing the external emission of laser light. The indicator light hole 530 provides an observation channel so that the status of the indicator light 621 on the infrared laser control module 620 can be visualized through the appearance of the bottom shell 500. The charging hole 520 is used for an external charger to provide power to the system. The snap-in groove 540 provided on the bottom shell 500 is connected to the snap-in portion 640 of the surface shell 600, ensuring a firm connection between the bottom shell 500 and the surface shell 600. At the same time, the laser head 611 in the laser part 610 corresponds to the laser hole 510 on the bottom shell 500, the indicator light 621 of the infrared laser control module 620 corresponds to the indicator light hole 530, and the charging port 623 corresponds to the charging hole 520, thereby enabling accurate alignment of the laser part 610 and the power interface, so that the emission of the straight infrared laser and the observation of the charging status can be reflected on the outer body of the spinal bending measurement bracket 200.
[0053] When in use, first, turn on the laser head 611 through the switch button 290 on the spinal bending measurement bracket 200. A horizontal infrared laser will be emitted from the laser head 611, and this laser line is a reference line for subsequent alignment operations. The patient is required to stand in a fixed position to ensure that he remains still during the test. The medical staff holds the laser infrared assisted spinal measurement device, stands side by side with the patient at a certain distance and on the same horizontal line, and sets up the laser infrared assisted spinal measurement device vertically on the ground in their hands. Then, the medical staff observes the position of the patient's shoulders, uses the handheld laser infrared assisted spinal measurement device, and adjusts the instrument so that the horizontal infrared laser emitted by it is completely aligned with the patient's shoulders. In this process, the laser infrared assisted spinal measurement device will be cut at a certain angle with the horizontal line. Since the laser infrared assisted spinal measurement device is equipped with an inertial measurement device 100, this device can record and measure the angle between the instrument and the horizontal line. The medical staff obtains the angle data between the spinal bending measurement bracket and the horizontal line through this device. This angle data is the measurement result of the patient's shoulder height. During the whole process, the horizontal line of the infrared laser is used as a reference line to help medical staff align the patient's shoulders. The angle of the spinal bending bracket is recorded by the inertial measurement device 100, providing accurate measurement results of the patient's shoulder height. Similarly, the height of the shoulder blades, hip joints and knee joints can also be accurately measured according to this method. In addition, in more concealed positions, such as the chest (lower edge of the ribs) and the waist (upper edge of the ilium), medical staff can also use infrared lasers as reference lines to align the laser infrared-assisted spinal measurement device with the patient's chest and waist. The inertial measurement device on the laser infrared-assisted spinal measurement device can record the angle between these parts and the horizontal line, providing the height difference degree of these positions. It can capture the asymmetric degree of the chest and waist positions that are difficult to measure by conventional methods. More importantly, scoliosis causes asymmetry and beveling of the mastoid process behind the ear when the curvature measurement is normal. This abnormal appearance of the mastoid process behind the ear shows an enlarged phenomenon of the scoliosis angle extending behind the cervical spine, suggesting that the patient has potential scoliosis. Even if the traditional spinal curvature measurement shows normal, observing the asymmetry and bevel angle of the mastoid process behind the ear can indirectly reveal that the patient actually suffers from scoliosis. This situation can serve as a guide for doctors to more deeply evaluate the patient's spinal condition, even if the traditional curvature measurement results are normal. Specifically, first, the patient is asked to stand in a fixed position to ensure that he remains still during the test. The medical staff turns on the laser head on the spinal curvature measurement bracket, and the laser head emits a horizontal infrared line, which becomes the reference line for subsequent alignment operations. The medical staff holds the laser infrared-assisted spinal measurement device, stands side by side with the patient at a certain distance and on the same horizontal line, and sets the instrument vertically on the ground in their hands.Then, the medical staff observes the position of the patient's mastoid process behind the ear, and adjusts the instrument so that the horizontal infrared ray it emits is completely aligned with the patient's mastoid process behind the ear. During this process, the spinal curvature measuring bracket will be tilted at a certain angle to the horizontal line, and the change in this angle will be recorded by the inertial measurement device. The angle data recorded by this device can accurately measure the bevel angle of the mastoid process behind the ear. This asymmetry is directly related to the angle change caused by scoliosis. The horizontal line of the infrared laser is used as a reference line to help medical staff align the patient's mastoid process behind the ear, and the angle of the spinal curvature measuring bracket is recorded by the inertial measurement device, providing an accurate measurement result of the bevel angle of the mastoid process behind the ear. The above measurement method can provide more accurate and reliable data on the degree of body asymmetry, and provide more comprehensive information support for the diagnosis and treatment of complex spinal problems.
[0054] During use, due to the inconvenience of data acquisition and transmission delay, it is difficult for medical staff to obtain measurement data in time, which will affect the diagnosis and treatment effect and work efficiency. Therefore, the lack of real-time visualization of data is also a challenge. Data cannot be transmitted to the visualization platform in real time, and medical staff cannot intuitively see the display and analysis of data, which affects the comprehensive assessment of the patient's condition. On this basis, refer to the attached Figure 1 The spinal bending test support 200 of the present application is also provided with a data receiving observation position 240, and the data receiving observation position 240 is provided with a bearing slot 241, and the bearing slot 241 is used to accommodate a terminal device with a display screen, such as a mobile phone, and fix and support the terminal device with a display screen. Fig. 9 The load-bearing slot 241 is composed of a first clamping structure 271, a second clamping structure 281 and a stop structure 272, forming a rectangular structure lacking a top edge to facilitate the plugging and unplugging of terminal devices. Specifically, the first clamping structure 271 is located on the first side 201 of the spinal curvature measuring bracket 200, the second clamping structure 281 is located on the second side 202 of the spinal curvature measuring bracket 200, and the stop structure 272 is located on the fourth side 204 of the spinal curvature measuring bracket 200. These clamping structures together limit and define the size of the load slot. At the same time, there is a movable connection between the first clamping structure 271 and the second clamping structure 281 to accommodate the insertion of terminal devices of different sizes. In one or more embodiments, the first clamping structure 271 and the second clamping structure 281 are connected by a lateral sliding connection to adjust the size of the load slot to accommodate the insertion of terminal devices of different sizes.
[0055] When the inertial measurement device 100 completes the measurement of spinal curvature, or completes the measurement of shoulder height, shoulder blade height, hip joint and knee joint height, chest (lower edge of ribs) asymmetry and waist (upper edge of ilium) asymmetry, mastoid asymmetry and bevel angle, the measured data is sent to the terminal device through the data transmission mechanism. In this way, medical staff can obtain the measurement data in time through the terminal device at the observation position.
