Innovation Solution
A rehabilitation action guidance assistive device comprising a display device, sensing device, and rehabilitation evaluation system that provides independent, location-unrestricted guidance using inertial measurement units, wireless communication, and real-time feedback to restore physiological curvature through correct rehabilitation actions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If people visit rehabilitation hospitals or physical therapy centers multiple times for treatment, then muscle and bone problems can be addressed, but the recovery period is prolonged
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables patients to perform rehabilitation exercises independently at home using the assistive device with visual guidance and real-time feedback, eliminating the need for repeated visits to rehabilitation centers. The system provides self-guided treatment that maintains therapeutic effectiveness while significantly reducing time loss from frequent hospital visits.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates real-time feedback mechanisms where the assistive device monitors patient movement and provides immediate correction guidance through visual displays. This feedback loop ensures that patients perform exercises correctly while maintaining treatment effectiveness, allowing them to achieve rehabilitation goals faster without needing frequent professional interventions.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If massage, pain relief patches, or traditional Chinese medicine are used to relieve discomfort, then temporary relief is achieved, but back pain and spinal degeneration cannot be treated or prevented from worsening
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces passive relief methods (massage, patches) with an active mechanical rehabilitation system that physically guides and corrects patient movements. The assistive device uses visual guidance and real-time feedback to ensure proper exercise execution, directly addressing the root causes of back pain and spinal degeneration rather than merely masking symptoms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables continuous rehabilitation training at home through the assistive device, allowing patients to perform exercises consistently without interruption. This continuous action is superior to intermittent professional treatments, as it maintains therapeutic effectiveness over time while actively preventing spinal degeneration progression.
3Ease of operation
If rehabilitation exercises are performed without professional guidance, then treatment can be done at home, but the correctness of actions cannot be ensured
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates real-time feedback mechanisms where the assistive device monitors patient movement and provides immediate correction guidance through visual displays. This feedback loop ensures that patients perform exercises correctly while maintaining treatment effectiveness, allowing them to achieve rehabilitation goals faster without needing frequent professional interventions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a visual guidance system as an intermediary between the patient and the rehabilitation exercise. The display device provides step-by-step visual instructions and real-time feedback, acting as a mediator that ensures correct exercise execution without requiring direct professional supervision. This intermediary enables precise action guidance while maintaining home operation capability.

Data Source
AI summary
The present invention provides a rehabilitation action guidance assistive device comprising a display device, a sensing device and a rehabilitation evaluation system. The display device displays an image for a user to watch and imitate. The sensing device comprises a sensing element, a storage element, a processing element, a data transmission element and a power supply element. The sensing element is used for sensing action state values of the rehabilitation carrier or the user; the storage element is used for storing the action state values; the processing element is used for performing a signal calculation; the data transmission element transmits the action state values to the rehabilitation evaluation system through a wireless communication method; and the power supply element provides an electric power to the sensing device. The rehabilitation evaluation system indicates the difference in ratio between the user's action state values and reference action state values.
