Upper limb multi-joint constant speed training testing device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of medical rehabilitation and sports fitness, in particular to a testing device for multi-joint constant-speed training of upper limbs.
Background
The human body or animal body generates force by muscle contraction to drive bones connected with two ends of the muscle to rotate around joints among the bones. Muscle contraction, in general, can be divided into two basic movements: isotonic contraction (isotonicdrawing), i.e. the muscle output tension remains constant while the muscle length changes; and isometric contraction (isometriccoontraction), i.e., the muscle length remains constant while the muscle output tension varies. Of course, most muscle contractions are a combination of the two.
The medical rehabilitation and exercise body-building mainly aims to make muscles exercise. A new concept of test training for isokinetic movement is proposed: during the articulation, the resistance applied to the bone ends changes so that the speed of movement of the bone ends remains constant. The common method is as follows: the movement speed is set on the constant-speed device in advance, and in the test process, the resistance changes, so that the muscle force only increases the muscle strength and the moment output, but the angular speed of the tail end skeleton movement in the movement process is not changed, namely, the movement speed is kept constant, and the constant-speed muscle force is measured.
In isokinetic motion, the angular velocity at which the limb rotates about an axis of its joint remains constant, but the muscle fibers either shorten or stretch, and are thus also a dynamic contraction, except that the output power does not remain constant, i.e., an unequal contraction. Meanwhile, in the isokinetic training, in order to keep the angular velocity of the movement of the terminal skeleton constant, the isokinetic instrument provides a compliance resistance, namely the resistance varies with the muscle contraction tension, which also causes the muscle to contract in unequal lengths. That is, in the constant-speed exercise, the muscle contraction is a special muscle contraction mode because of some characteristics of both isometric contraction and isometric contraction.
The result of the isokinetic muscle strength test can be used for auxiliary diagnosis, rehabilitation treatment, curative effect evaluation and prevention of motor system injury caused by various reasons. At present, isokinetic muscle force tests are increasingly applied clinically to quantitatively evaluate the muscle dysfunction degree of patients with Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) or dysfunction, stroke, Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction and the like, so that targeted rehabilitation targets and plans are formulated, and scientific bases are provided for systematic rehabilitation treatment.
The upper limb, i.e., the arm, of the human body is a multi-joint mechanism, and includes, in order from the proximal end to the distal end, a shoulder joint connecting the upper arm to the shoulder, an elbow joint connecting between the upper arm and the lower arm, and a wrist joint connecting between the lower arm and the hand. Wherein, the shoulder joint can do the rotary motion of three direction, includes: an inside-outside overturning motion (laterally lifting and putting down an upper arm), a flexion-extension motion (swinging the upper arm forwards and backwards) and an inside-outside rotating motion (horizontally twisting the upper arm); the elbow joint can make flexion and extension movements (raise and lower the forearm); the wrist joint can perform flexion and extension movements (turning the hand back and forth) and rotation movements (turning the hand up and down).
However, most constant-speed test training instrument products in the market are sealed by foreign technologies, the size is large, the weight is heavy, the selling price is high, the products can only carry out test training on different single joints, the test efficiency is low, and the effect is not good.
Therefore, the research and design of the novel device for testing and training the upper limb multi-joint constant velocity has profound practical significance.

The invention firstly provides a multi-joint constant-speed training test device for upper limbs, the overall structure of which is shown in figure 1, and the device comprises a chair for test training, a chair back 1 and a chair seat 2, and the chair back is fixedly or rotatably arranged on a base 3. The angle between the chair back 1 and the chair seat 2 can be adjusted according to the actual habits of testers, so that the comfort level of the testers is improved. The seat is provided with a robotic arm 20 for upper limb test training. During test training, a tester sits on the chair surface, inserts arms into the mechanical arm 20, and moves along with the movement of each section of connecting rod 5 in the mechanical arm 20.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the robot arm 20 includes seven-segment links 5 sequentially connected by six motors, and is disposed on the seat through a first link. Each motor is connected to a corresponding connecting rod 5 through a crossed roller bearing, and the body and the rotor of each motor are respectively connected with different connecting rods 5, so that when the motors rotate, the two connecting rods 5 connected to the motors can be driven to rotate relatively.
In a better embodiment, in order to adapt to the distance between the joints of the arm of different testers, the length of each section of the connecting rod 5 can be adjusted, for example, each connecting rod 5 is divided into two parts which can slide relatively and then be fixed, and the length of each section of the arm of the testers is adjusted adaptively.
In a further preferred embodiment, the first link is connected, in particular slidably connected, to the backrest 1. The method specifically comprises the following steps: the chair back 1 is provided with a slide rail, the first connecting rod is detachably arranged on the slide rail through a connecting slide block 6 and can move horizontally along the slide rail, so that the position can be adjusted according to the actual needs of a tester, and the comfort level of the tester is increased. And, the said connecting rod 5 also includes the hand grip 13 located at the end, while testing and training, the tester's palm is held on the said hand grip 13, follow the said mechanical arm 20 and move.
As shown in fig. 2, the motor first includes a three-shoulder motor for controlling the rotation of the upper limb shoulder in three directions: the shoulder joint inward and outward turning motor 4, the shoulder joint flexion and extension motor 7 and the shoulder joint inward and outward rotating motor 8 are arranged on the two connecting rods 5 in a mutually orthogonal mode and are respectively used for controlling the upper arm to be lifted up and down along the lateral direction, swing the upper arm along the front and back direction and twist the upper arm along the horizontal direction. The shoulder joint inward and outward turning motor 4 and the shoulder joint flexion and extension motor 7 are preferably connected by an L-shaped connecting rod in consideration of certain thickness of the shoulder joint. And the three rotational axes of the three shoulder motor intersect at a shoulder point, O in FIG. 21And (4) point. When a tester sits on the chair surface 1, the connecting slide block 6 slides along the slide rail to adjust the distance between the mechanical arm 20 and the tester,so that the shoulder socket of the test person is located at O in FIG. 21And (4) point.
As shown in fig. 2, the motor further includes an elbow flexion and extension motor 10 for controlling the elbow to rotate up and down, a wrist flexion and extension motor 12 for controlling the palm to flip up and down, and a forearm rotation motor 14 for controlling the forearm to flip in the axial direction. Wherein, when being installed, the rotation axis of the shoulder joint internal and external rotating motor 8 and the rotation axis of the elbow joint flexion and extension motor 10 intersect at the elbow joint center, i.e. O in fig. 22Point, in use, the elbow joint of the tester is placed at O2And (4) point. And the rotation axis of the wrist joint flexion and extension motor 12 and the rotation axis of the forearm rotation motor 14 intersect at the wrist joint center, i.e. O in FIG. 23Point, when in use, the wrist joint of the tester is placed at O3And (4) point. And the palm of the tester holds the handle 13, and the forearm rotating motor 14 drives the handle 13 to rotate transversely to drive the palm and even the forearm to turn over along the axial direction.
At the shoulder point O, considering that the tester's arm needs to follow the robot arm 20 in synchronization with movement1Point, with the elbow joint center O2Between the points, a turntable bearing 9 through which the arm of the tester passes is provided. The upper limb of the tester passes through the inner ring of the turntable bearing 9 downwards and then bends forwards until the inner ring is sleeved on the upper arm, and the palm holds the handle 13. At this time, the shoulder socket of the subject was located at O1Point, the elbow joint is placed at O2The wrist joint is located at O3And (4) point.
The elbow connecting rod corresponding to the elbow of the tester is fixedly connected with the outer ring of the turntable bearing 9, in addition, the outer side of the outer ring is fixedly sleeved with a gear ring, and the rotor of the shoulder joint internal and external rotating motor 8 drives the outer ring to rotate through the transmission gear 11, so that the elbow connecting rod is driven to swing left and right.
In addition, considering the constant-speed motion, each motor is also provided with a position sensor and a torque sensor, so that the relative motion condition between the two connecting rods 5 connected to the two sides of the motor, including the amplitude and the speed of the relative motion, is detected in real time and fed back to a control center, and the driving command sent to each motor is adjusted in real time to realize the constant-speed motion.
In order to prevent the connecting rod 5 from rotating or twisting by an excessive angle to hurt the arm of the tester, in a preferred embodiment, an angle limiting device is further installed on the connecting rod 5 connected to the rotor of each motor for preventing the rotation angle between the two connecting rods 5 from exceeding a set limit value.
The relative movement between the connecting rods 5 of each stage is controlled by each motor. Specifically, the upper limb multi-joint constant velocity training test device further comprises a control center, wherein the control center calculates and outputs parameters to control rotation of each motor based on a rotation amount theory and combined with feedback of the position sensor and the torque sensor, so that constant velocity motion of the handle at the tail end is realized. The parameters include at least the rotational speed and the duration of rotation of each motor.
And, more preferably, the control center controls the motors to realize the constant velocity motion by a PID control method.
Specifically, the rotation parameters of each motor of the present invention, including the angular velocity and the duration, are calculated based on a method of the momentum theory (law). The method has the advantages of simplifying mechanism analysis, avoiding singularity and the like. The rotation is also called as spiral, and is represented by 6 scalar values, and forms a group of dual vectors which simultaneously represent the direction and position of the vector, and can simultaneously represent the angular velocity and linear velocity of the rigid body, or the force and moment in the rigid body mechanics. The method uses a momentum theory to analyze each joint mechanism of the mechanical arm 20, obtains a momentum coordinate transformation relation between each joint by determining related parameters and motion momentum coordinates of each joint in the mechanism and then through motion momentum coordinate transformation and an index product formula, obtains a speed relation between each joint by constructing a jacobian matrix based on an index product method, and finally realizes constant speed of momentum and constant speed of a tail end by controlling and changing each parameter, and finally realizes constant speed control of multiple joints.

e. and under the feedback of the position sensor and the torque sensor, the rotation of each motor is controlled based on a rotation theory, so that the constant-speed motion is realized.
Specifically, in the step e, each motor may be controlled by a control method such as PID (proportional-integral-derivative control), so as to realize the constant velocity motion. This is a common technique in the art and will not be described in detail here.
