Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of rehabilitation treatment, and specifically relates to a family-used osteoporosis-sarcopenia combined monitoring and rehabilitation auxiliary device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Osteoporosis is a common metabolic bone disease in the elderly, and its occurrence is related to multiple factors, including genetics, age, gender, lifestyle, etc. Sarcopenia is a syndrome of skeletal muscle mass and strength decline with age. This condition is mainly age-related and usually begins to manifest after the age of 40. The mass and strength of skeletal muscle gradually decrease, the mineral content in the skeleton gradually decreases, and the strength and density of the skeleton gradually decrease.

[0003] The treatment of osteoporosis and sarcopenia mainly includes drug treatment, nutritional intervention and rehabilitation treatment, etc. Among them, rehabilitation treatment plays an important role in improving the symptoms of patients and improving the quality of life. Rehabilitation treatment mainly includes exercise therapy. Exercise therapy combined with nutritional intervention can significantly increase muscle mass and strength and improve muscle function.

[0004] The existing family-used osteoporosis-sarcopenia combined monitoring and rehabilitation auxiliary device is mainly used for rehabilitation treatment by anaerobic exercise, such as weight lifting. For patients with osteoporosis and muscle weakness, the potential skeletal burden and fracture risk may be higher, so it is necessary to carefully select and control the exercise intensity. However, aerobic exercise such as appropriate aerobic exercise such as walking and jogging can enhance muscle endurance and help sarcopenia patients improve muscle function. For patients with osteoporosis, aerobic training can better increase bone density, reduce calcium loss and ensure exercise safety. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model aims at providing a family-used osteoporosis-sarcopenia combined monitoring and rehabilitation auxiliary device. By setting the leg sleeve, electromagnet, data plug and data plugboard, the weight of the counterweight required is determined according to the data monitored by the portable ultrasonic bone densitometer and bioelectrical impedance analyzer, and then the electromagnet is used to attract the counterweight. The data is convenient for osteoporosis patients and sarcopenia patients to perform aerobic training such as weight-bearing jogging according to the physical condition, so as to better achieve the effect of recovery training.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the technical scheme of the utility model is as follows: a home osteoporosis-sarcopenia combined monitoring and rehabilitation auxiliary device, which comprises a leg sleeve, a portable ultrasonic bone density meter for monitoring the bone density of a patient and a bioelectrical impedance analyzer for monitoring the muscle mass and fat content of the patient, both ends of the leg sleeve are provided with a fixing assembly for fixing the leg sleeve on the leg, the leg sleeve is internally provided with a power supply assembly, a plurality of grooves are arranged on the outer periphery of the leg sleeve, a plurality of electromagnets are fixedly connected to the leg sleeve in the circumferential direction, the grooves are used for placing counterweights that can be attracted by the electromagnets, the power supply assembly is electrically connected with the electromagnets, the leg sleeve is fixedly connected with a controller, the power supply assembly is electrically connected with the controller, the controller is connected with a data plug, and the data socket is connected to the portable ultrasonic bone density meter and the bioelectrical impedance analyzer.

[0007] The principle of the basic scheme is that when the coil in the electromagnet has current passing through, a magnetic field is generated and the iron block is magnetized; the magnetized iron block and the electromagnet interact due to the magnetic poles and generate an attractive force, and the magnetic attraction force of the electromagnet is used to attract the counterweight on the leg sleeve.

[0008] The body condition of the patient is analyzed by the portable ultrasonic bone density meter and the bioelectrical impedance analyzer, the data analyzed by the portable ultrasonic bone density meter and the bioelectrical impedance analyzer are transmitted to the controller through the data plug and the data socket, and the maximum weight of the counterweight that can be attracted by the electromagnet is determined by the controller.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the basic scheme are: 1. The maximum electromagnetic force of different patients is determined according to the bone density of different patients and the disease degree of different patients.

[0010] 2. The maximum electromagnetic force is beneficial to ensure that the weight of the attracted counterweight does not exceed the maximum weight that the patient can bear, thereby improving the rehabilitation effect of the patient during exercise training.

[0011] Further, the power supply assembly comprises a storage battery, the storage battery is fixedly connected in the leg sleeve, and the input end of the controller and the input end of the electromagnet are electrically connected with the output end of the storage battery.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the basic scheme are: the storage battery is used for power supply of the controller and the electromagnet, which is beneficial to reduce the situation that the rehabilitation training effect is poor due to the fact that the electromagnet cannot attract the counterweight when the patient is performing rehabilitation training.

[0013] Further, the leg sleeve is further fixedly connected with a transformer, the output end of the storage battery is electrically connected with the input end of the transformer, the output end of the transformer is electrically connected with the input end of the electromagnet, and the output end of the controller is signal connected with the input end of the transformer.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the basic scheme are: the transformer helps to adjust the voltage between the storage battery and the electromagnet, and by adjusting the voltage, it is possible to change the maximum magnetic attraction force of the electromagnet, making it convenient for patients to adjust the weight of the counterweight.

[0015] Furthermore, the fastening components include Velcro, which is fixedly connected to the leg sleeve. Both ends of the leg sleeve are fixedly connected to paper clips, and the Velcro is used to pass through the paper clips to tighten the leg sleeve.

[0016] The benefits of the basic solution are: the Velcro can be freely adjusted to fix the leg sleeve according to the patient's different leg shape, which helps to reduce the slippage of the leg sleeve after the addition of counterweights. The Velcro passes through the snap fastener to tighten the leg sleeve, which helps to fix the leg sleeve better.

[0017] Furthermore, a pressure bandage is fixedly connected to the middle of the leg sleeve.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the basic approach are: the elasticity of the compression bandage provides additional pressure when the legs are bound, which further stimulates the leg muscles, subjecting them to a greater challenge during weight training and thus enhancing the training effect. This physical effect helps improve leg muscle strength and endurance.

[0019] Furthermore, a tightening strap is fixedly connected to one side of the groove.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the basic scheme are: the tightening belt can re-fix the counterweight that has been attracted by the electromagnet. During the movement, the movement is too bumpy. In order to reduce the possibility of the counterweight slipping and injuring the patient, the tightening belt can fix the counterweight a second time.

[0021] Furthermore, the leg sleeves have several through holes on their outer surface.

[0022] The benefits of the basic design are: during weight training, the body sweats profusely, especially in core areas like the legs. The breathable design helps sweat evaporate quickly, reducing stuffiness and improving comfort. Keeping the legs dry helps improve focus during exercise, preventing distractions due to discomfort and thus enhancing workout effectiveness.

[0023] Furthermore, a heating wire is fixedly connected inside the leg sleeve. The input end of the heating wire is electrically connected to the output end of the storage battery, and the input end of the heating wire is signal connected to the output end of the controller.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the basic program are as follows: During rehabilitation training, leg muscles produce metabolic byproducts such as lactic acid, leading to muscle soreness. After rehabilitation training, applying heat to the leg muscles can help relieve muscle soreness. Heat application can increase local temperature and accelerate blood circulation, thereby promoting the decomposition and excretion of metabolic byproducts such as lactic acid. Heat application can also relax the leg muscles, reduce muscle tension, and further relieve soreness and discomfort.

[0025] Furthermore, a temperature sensor is also fixedly connected inside the leg sleeve, and the output end of the temperature sensor is connected to the input end of the controller.

[0026] The benefits of the basic solution are: the temperature sensor helps to monitor the temperature inside the leg sleeve in real time when the patient is applying heat, reducing the occurrence of low-temperature burns caused by continuously excessively high temperatures.

[0027] Furthermore, the inside of the leg sleeves is lined with a flexible material.

[0028] The benefits of the basic design are: the flexible material has good elasticity and fit, which can closely fit the skin of the legs, reduce friction between the leg wrap and the skin, thereby improving the comfort of wearing it, and can also effectively cushion the impact and pressure on the legs from the outside, making the wearer feel more relaxed and free during exercise.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] The basics are as follows: Figure 1 - AppendixFigure 3 As shown: A home-use osteoporosis-sarcopenia combined monitoring and rehabilitation aid device includes a leg sleeve 3, a portable ultrasonic bone densitometer 2 for monitoring the patient's bone density, and a bioelectrical impedance analyzer 1 for monitoring the patient's muscle mass and fat content. The portable ultrasonic bone densitometer 2 is preferably a BMD-9M3 (portable model), and the bioelectrical impedance analyzer 1 is preferably a Maltron BF-907. Both ends of the leg sleeve 3 are equipped with fixing components for fixing the leg sleeve 3 to the leg. The leg sleeve 3 has a power supply component inside. Several grooves 5 are arranged on the outer periphery of the leg sleeve 3. Several electromagnets 7 are fixedly connected to the leg sleeve 3 along the periphery by bolts. The electromagnets 7 are preferably ELE-P20 / 15 24V. The grooves 5 are used to place counterweights that can be attracted by the electromagnets 7. The power supply component is electrically connected to the electromagnets 7. A controller is fixedly connected to the leg sleeve 3 by bolts. The controller is preferably a YKKG6234. The power supply component is electrically connected to the controller. The controller is connected to a data plug. Both the portable ultrasonic bone densitometer 2 and the bioelectrical impedance analyzer 1 are connected to data sockets.

[0036] The power supply components include a storage battery 11, preferably an SK104852. The storage battery 11 is fixedly connected to the leg sleeve 3 by bolts. The input terminals of the controller and the electromagnet 7 are electrically connected to the output terminal of the storage battery 11. A transformer 10 is also fixedly connected to the leg sleeve 3 by bolts. The transformer 10 is preferably a BK50VA. The output terminal of the storage battery 11 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the transformer 10. The output terminal of the transformer 10 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the electromagnet 7. The output terminal of the controller is signal-connected to the input terminal of the transformer 10.

[0037] The specific implementation process is as follows: The portable ultrasonic bone densitometer 2 utilizes ultrasonic technology to assess and reflect human bone quality by measuring parameters such as SOS (velocity of sound) and BUA (bone attenuation). This device can quickly and non-invasively monitor bone density. The bioelectrical impedance analyzer 1 assesses human body composition by measuring bioelectrical impedance. Impedance is the resistance encountered when an electric current passes through an object and is related to the object's conductivity. This device utilizes this principle, applying a weak current to the human body and measuring its impedance to analyze the proportions of the body's components, such as bone and muscle mass, and body fat percentage. The patient can first monitor their bone density and muscle mass using a portable ultrasonic bone densitometer 2 and a bioelectrical impedance analyzer 1, respectively. Then, the data monitored by the portable ultrasonic bone densitometer 2 and the bioelectrical impedance analyzer 1 are transmitted to the controller inside the leg sleeve 3 through the data plug and data socket. The controller controls the transformer 10 to change the pressure output by the storage battery 11, thereby changing the maximum attraction of the electromagnet 7 to the counterweight. When the patient performs weight training, due to the change in the magnetic attraction of the electromagnet 7, the patient cannot place more counterweights in the groove 5 on the leg sleeve 3. This prevents the patient from aggravating their condition or causing additional damage due to excessive weight during weight training.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] The difference from the above embodiment is that the leg sleeve 3 is covered with a flexible material, preferably a breathable and sweat-absorbing mesh fabric. The fastening components include Velcro 6, which is sewn onto the leg sleeve 3. Both ends of the leg sleeve 3 are sewn with paper clips, and the Velcro 6 is used to pass through the paper clips to tighten the leg sleeve 3. A tightening strap 4 is sewn onto one side of the groove 5. A pressure bandage 12 is sewn onto the middle of the leg sleeve 3. Several through holes 9 are opened on the outer surface of the leg sleeve 3.

[0040] The specific implementation process is as follows: After the patient is analyzed by the portable ultrasonic bone densitometer 2 and the bioelectrical impedance analyzer 1, and the output voltage of the storage battery 11 is adjusted by the transformer 10, the leg sleeve 3 can be worn.

[0041] First, place the leg sleeve 3 on the patient's calf and secure it with the Velcro 6 at both ends. Pass the Velcro 6 through the paperclip and tighten the entire leg sleeve 3 to secure it to the patient's calf. The elastic pressure bandage 12 provides additional pressure during leg binding, ensuring a more secure fit. Tightening the leg sleeve 3 further stimulates the patient's leg muscles, enhancing the rehabilitation training effect. After securing the leg sleeve 3, place the counterweight in the groove 5 and use the magnetic attraction of the electromagnet 7 to firmly hold it in place. After attraction, the tension strap can further secure the counterweight in the groove 5, reducing the risk of it slipping and injuring the patient due to bumps during rehabilitation training.

[0042] When wearing the leg sleeve 3, because the inside of the leg sleeve 3 is covered with flexible material, it can effectively reduce the impact and pressure on the leg muscles from the outside world during the patient's rehabilitation training, thus improving the patient's wearing experience.

[0043] When patients begin rehabilitation training, their calf muscles are bound by the leg sleeve 3, causing a lot of sweat to be produced in the bound area. The perforation 9 facilitates air circulation, which in turn causes the sweat to evaporate continuously, thereby improving the patient's comfort when wearing the leg sleeve 3.

[0044] Example 3:

[0045] The difference from the above embodiment is that a heating wire 13 is fixedly connected inside the leg sleeve 3. The heating wire 13 is preferably JT-TXWCP. The input end of the heating wire 13 is electrically connected to the output end of the storage battery 11. The input end of the heating wire 13 is also signal connected to the output end of the controller. A temperature sensor 8 is also fixedly connected inside the leg sleeve 3 by bolts. The temperature sensor 8 is preferably 0821-CWY. The output end of the temperature sensor 8 is signal connected to the input end of the controller.

[0046] The specific implementation process is as follows: After the patient's rehabilitation training is completed, the weights can be removed. After the patient has rested appropriately, the heating wire 13 can be turned on via the controller to apply heat to the patient's calf muscles. After rehabilitation training, leg muscles are prone to fatigue. Heat application can relax muscles, relieve muscle tension, and thus reduce fatigue. Under the effect of heat application, muscle tissue can receive better nutrient supply and waste removal, which is beneficial to the repair and regeneration of muscle cells. This is an important means for patients with sarcopenia to improve muscle strength and function. The temperature sensor 8 can monitor the temperature of the heat application inside the leg sleeve 3 in real time. If the temperature of the heat application is too high, the heating wire 13 can be stopped via the controller to reduce the problem of low-temperature burns to the patient's legs due to excessively high temperatures or no recovery effect after rehabilitation training due to excessively low temperatures.
