The invention belongs to the technical field of functional action screening equipment, and provides a functional action screening test method and device, and the method comprises the steps: S1, playing a standard action demonstration video to a subject before a test, and synchronously outputting voice explanation; s2, in the testing process, synchronously collecting multi-source data; s3, based on the multi-source data, identifying relative angles of the trunk and the lower limbs and key joint positions, detecting a ground clearance state or displacement of a supporting part, and judging whether the test auxiliary instrument is kept in a preset posture or not; s4, performing matching with a preset FMS scoring rule base based on a judgment result in the S3, and generating quantitative score and deviation positioning information; and S5, after the test is finished, outputting an evaluation report containing the quantitative score and the deviation positioning information. According to the functional action screening test method and device provided by the invention, the problems of inconsistent evaluation results and low reliability caused by the fact that traditional functional action screening depends on manual visual observation and subjective scoring are solved.

An exercise machine that integrates pull-down and transverse twist exercises, enhancing overall biomechanics and functional movement by engaging multiple muscle groups and improving joint stability.

This dual-function setup enhances coordination and strength, engaging multiple muscle groups for a holistic workout, promoting balance, neuromuscular coordination, and reducing the risk of injury through natural, functional movements.

This application provides a method and device for functional assessment of the spine-pelvis-lower limb kinetic chain, effectively addressing the lack of technical solutions in the field of spinal function, pelvic, and lower limb coordinated function assessment that rely solely on monocular video from a mobile phone and are suitable for outpatient and home settings. The method includes: acquiring video sequences and performing quality screening to obtain target video sequences; performing multi-dimensional processing on the target video sequences to reconstruct the user's three-dimensional reconstruction results and establish dynamic multi-viewpoint attention features; fusing the dynamic multi-viewpoint attention features with the positional features in the three-dimensional reconstruction results to obtain motion analysis features, and performing multi-step motion analysis on preset functional movements to obtain motion analysis results; calculating functional parameters and pain expression scores based on the three-dimensional reconstruction results, obtaining functional analysis results through a functional analysis model, and generating training suggestions for the next stage.

An exercise machine that integrates leg press and hip abduction exercises, enhancing overall biomechanics and functional movement by engaging multiple muscle groups and improving joint stability. The exercise machine comprises a base platform with a bench that supports the user in a side-reclining position, allowing the user to face a lateral direction during exercises. The user can perform dynamic exercises targeting the core and lower body muscles, including leg press and hip abduction exercises, by moving a footrest in both horizontal and vertical directions. The machine includes adjustable weight stacks for a personalized resistance-based workout. To enhance safety, the machine features range controllers that limit the footrest movement in both directions, ensuring controlled motion and minimizing the risk of injury. The machine is also configured to accommodate users of varying body sizes and fitness levels for effective workouts.

A computerized system calculates a composite index for sets of functional movement scores that quantify motor function abilities for patients. Wearable sensors, kinetic energy sensors, ultrasound imagers, and force sensors are used to store the composite index from predictors of the functional movement scores, the predictors comprising a respective shape of motion factor, a respective motion symmetry factor, and a respective motion speed factor for each of the sets of functional movement scores. The software tabulates the respective composite index by calculating a probability that the respective shape of motion factor, the respective motion symmetry factor, and the respective motion speed factor correspond to one of the sets of functional movement scores.
