Description

1 TARIFF SEMG-SUPPORTED PROCEDURE-DEPENDENT IN DENTAL PROCEDURES MULTI-MODE ERGONOMIC RISK ASSESSMENT, ADAPTIVE SYSTEM 5 THAT GENERATES WARNING AND ERGONOMIC ASSESSMENT REPORTS. AND METHOD Technological Field: This invention is suitable for dental clinics, oral and dental health centers, university hospitals, 10 dental faculties, training and research hospitals, dental simulation laboratories, phantom laboratories, preclinical training environments, private clinics, healthcare tourism clinics, occupational health and safety practices, occupational ergonomics systems, biomedical engineering applications, artificial intelligence-powered health technologies, wearable sensor systems, digital health platforms, clinical decision support systems, 15 microsurgery, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, physical therapy and rehabilitation, Veterinary medicine is a health field that requires laboratory practices and delicate manual dexterity. sEMG-assisted procedures in dental treatments that can be used in various disciplines Dependent multimodal ergonomic risk assessment, adaptive alert and ergonomic It relates to the system and method that produces the evaluation report. 20 State of the Art: In dental practice, the dentist remains in fixed or semi-static positions for extended periods. The exercise involves repetitive muscle activity in the neck, shoulders, back, upper extremities, and wrists. This leads to strain on the teeth; consequently, musculoskeletal disorders and tooth problems. This is commonly seen in the medical profession. However, current solutions... largely general ergonomics training, chair and equipment placement. regulations, standard exercise recommendations, or simple posture awareness warnings It remains limited to these systems. 30 2 These approaches mostly involve the type of procedure performed by the physician, the duration of the procedure, the equipment used during the procedure and the specifics of the clinical work area It does not offer a holistic technical infrastructure that considers all conditions together. In particular root canal treatment, prosthetic applications, periodontal procedures, restorative applications, teeth 5 different muscle loading profiles, such as those created by extractions or surgical procedures In the procedures, ergonomic risk is determined in a manner specific to the process context. This cannot be achieved at a sufficient level in the systems. A significant portion of the posture tracking systems included in known techniques rely on the user 10 if certain threshold values ​​are exceeded by monitoring the torso, neck or shoulder tilt. These systems are designed to provide audible, visual, or vibrating warnings. ergonomic assessment mostly focuses on externally visible posture parameters. is based on the actual muscle load the user experiences during the procedure, fatigue develops or varies depending on different processes under the same posture. Biomechanical stresses cannot be assessed with sufficient precision. As a result, 15 The user can only be provided with information about the "erroneous posture"; which specific error it is... it emerged during the procedure, and in which anatomical regions it created cumulative load. and to what extent this burden may create occupational risk in the short or long term. This cannot be determined. This situation makes ergonomic evaluation superficial. and prevents the accurate interpretation of actual clinical load conditions. 20 Existing camera-based systems also have various technical limitations. Dental In the dental environment: patient, assistant, dental unit components, microscope, magnifying loupe. image due to systems or other equipment partially obstructing the field of view The continuity and accuracy of the data may be compromised. Image shutdown or body 25 The segments becoming partially invisible to the camera allows for posture analysis. this reduces its reliability and causes deviations in real-time assessment results. It is possible. In addition, purely image-based systems, from the outside, are normal. or occurs in muscle activity under a body position that appears acceptable It cannot detect incoming increases. For example, neck angle or trunk posture at certain 30°Cs. Even if they appear within the boundaries, the upper trapezius, cervical paraspinal muscles, or forearm muscles Findings of overactivity and fatigue developing in the groups were analyzed using camera-based analysis. 3 This deficiency cannot be demonstrated. This lack of clarity reveals clinically significant ergonomic risks. This causes it to be overlooked. Another shortcoming of current systems is that the ergonomic risk is spread over time and throughout the procedure. They do not treat it as a dynamic process that changes depending on the situation. Known solutions 5 It is mostly limited to instantaneous posture assessment; the procedure time involves sequential procedures. muscle strain accumulated throughout, total risky working time, and end-of-day ergonomics. It is unable to process parameters such as a holistic evaluation of performance. This Therefore, providing the user with a detailed ergonomics report after the procedure, focusing on specific muscles Showing during which operations the strain increased in the groups, daily or 10 Creating periodic ergonomics scores and providing personalized guidance for subsequent work sessions. Developing specific corrective recommendations is not possible in most systems. This situation... It reduces the continuity of ergonomic awareness and only provides the user with momentary insight. This leads to being guided by warnings. Furthermore, known techniques are largely focused on the individual user and are clinical-scale. It lacks integrated structures that can be adapted to management or educational settings. Existing solutions, dental schools, preclinical laboratories, phantom application areas or ergonomic designs for students, physicians, or groups in multi-user clinical settings. performance monitoring, comparative reporting, and data-driven feedback to the training process. It does not adequately support notification functions. Therefore, it is ergonomic. Systematically instilling awareness in the early stages of the profession, preventing mistakes Posture habits should be identified and corrected during the student years and in clinical practice. It is possible for administrators and educators to make decisions based on objective ergonomics data. They remain limited in the systems. As a result, known techniques are specific to dentistry. ergonomic risk depends on procedure, duration, muscle load, movement pattern, and training / institutional factors. a multidimensional and adaptive approach that allows for consideration of usage requirements It is unable to offer a solution. Description of the invention: 30 4 The invention addresses the ergonomic challenges that arise during dental procedures. not only based on externally visible posture data; but also on the type of procedure performed. Study duration, camera-based posture analysis, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) motion data obtained from sensors and Surface Electromyography (sEMG) By processing the signals together, a multi-parameter and multi-dimensional ergonomic risk assessment is possible. 5 It provides an assessment infrastructure. This allows for the evaluation of ergonomic risk, specifically at a single posture angle. without reduction; muscle loading, movement pattern, procedural context and fatigue It can be evaluated along with its development, thus providing the user with a more accurate, dynamic and Individualized results can be produced. This structure of the invention allows for ergonomic evaluation. By moving beyond being merely a monitoring function, it becomes an integrated part of clinical trial practice. It transforms into a decision support mechanism. One of the key advantages of the invention is that it provides the user with information at the beginning of each work session. It is able to perform specific calibrations. Based on a neutral posture, the neck, shoulders, torso, and Personal reference values ​​are being created for the hand and wrist areas; in this way, 15 Instead of a generalized framework based on standard thresholds, the evaluation is based on the user's based on a foundation adapted to its own anatomical and functional characteristics This is performed using sEMG data, involving the upper trapezius and cervical paraspinal muscles. muscles, such as the deltoid muscles, forearm flexors, and forearm extensors, used in dentistry. The activity of muscle groups that are critical in these applications is analyzed; Root 20 Mean Squared (RMS) amplitude, muscle activation time, median frequency change, and muscle Biomarkers associated with fatigue are being calculated. Thus, externally accepted Excessive muscle strain and hidden problems occur even under a seemingly manageable posture. Strains can be identified and included in the ergonomic risk assessment. Another advantage of the invention is that it allows for decision-making within the context of dental procedures. It is about placing it at the center of the mechanism. Root canal treatment, prosthetic applications, periodontal procedures, restorative procedures, orthodontic treatments, or surgery The work patterns and muscle loads that emerge during interventions differ from each other. Because they are different, the ergonomic risk of the system is differentiated according to the type of operation. 30 can be evaluated. The same posture or the same neck angle is the same for every clinical procedure. It is not considered to be at a risk level; the duration of the procedure, the load on the relevant muscle groups, and The precision required by the procedure is interpreted together. This ensures ergonomic design. Analysis goes beyond being a general and abstract evaluation and becomes direct clinical application. It becomes adapted to the context; to which anatomical feature the user is using during which process. The region and the duration of time the employee worked under risk can be determined concretely. The invention's sensor fusion approach also provides a significant technical advantage. Camera By evaluating the data, IMU data, and sEMG signals together, any given data can be analyzed. In the event of any loss, malfunction, or decrease in reliability that may occur at the source, the system It is possible to use information from other data sources with higher weighting. For example, the camera image may show the patient, assistant, or dental equipment. partial closure due to this, or artifact in the electromyography signal. In this case, the system can dynamically reweight the decision-making mechanism and It can produce more stable results. This is due to the inherent complexity of the clinical setting. within it, increasing the reliability of the system and ensuring the continuity of ergonomic risk analysis. It supports. 15 The invention is not limited to a system that provides instantaneous warnings during operation, but also encompasses the process. End-of-day and end-of-day evaluations enable long-term ergonomics management. It recognizes personalized ergonomic performance generated by the system. their reports included total ergonomics score, percentage of incorrect posture, total risky working time, 20 Number of alerts, Rapid Upper Extremity Assessment (RULA) data, Dentistry Specific Electromyography-Based Ergonomic Load Index levels and procedure-based muscle analysis. Load distributions can be presented. Thus, ergonomic load is not just a momentary event. not as a single thing, but as something that accumulates throughout the day and requires long-term behavioral change. This can be monitored as a performance parameter. This structure allows the user to track their own work. 25 It allows them to see and improve their habits in a data-driven way. One of the key advantages of the invention is that, based on the evaluation results... Its ability to generate personalized recommendations; the system can provide guidance on which clinical procedures are being performed. increased ergonomic load, which muscle groups are being overstressed, and the next 30 which short exercises, rest intervals, or equipment during the workout session It can determine which settings should be applied. For example, channel 6 Relaxation exercises for the neck and upper trapezius region after treatment, long-term Stretching of forearm and wrist muscles after prosthetic or periodontal procedures. recommendations or support shoulder stabilization after lengthy surgical procedures Applications can be offered automatically by the system. In this respect, the invention, Going beyond being a passive monitoring system, it allows the user to monitor their daily work. A proactive and adaptive ergonomics coaching function aimed at transforming habits. He sees. The invention also features a modular platform that can be configured according to different use cases. It has the following characteristics: individual user mode, clinical mode, and faculty mode. 10 Thanks to this system, it is used in private clinics, oral and dental health centers, and universities. in hospitals, dental faculties, training and research hospitals, It can be used in preclinical laboratories and phantom testing rooms. The structure not only monitors the ergonomic risks of professionals, but also at the same time, students learn the correct study principles during the education phase, 15 early correction of faulty posture habits and educators' guidance for students or the ability to generate ergonomic performance reports on a group basis This allows the invention to be used for both clinical and educational purposes with the same technology. It is becoming a large-scale ergonomics platform that unites them under one infrastructure. The industrial applicability and commercialization of the invention are also important advantages. The system includes Progressive Web Applications (PWA), mobile applications, and desktop applications. as software or cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) platform It can be configured in a way that can be implemented; clinical management panels, multi-user institutional licenses, university education licenses and central data monitoring systems with 25 They can work together seamlessly. On the hardware side, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication is used. Low-power IMU sensors with integrated infrastructure, placed on the neck and shoulder area. Implantable sEMG modules are wearable devices that measure forearm and wrist muscle activity. modular design with belts and vibration-based feedback units. The fact that it can be produced allows the system to be scaled according to different user needs. 30 Furthermore, the modular architecture of the invention provides ergonomic solutions outside of dentistry. Fields with high risks include medicine, microsurgery, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, and veterinary medicine. 7 adaptability to disciplines such as medicine, laboratory applications and similar fields. This makes it possible. Therefore, the invention is not just a solution specific to dentistry; health technologies, wearable sensor systems, digital health platforms and clinics It offers an expandable technology infrastructure in the field of decision support systems.
