Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of rehabilitation equipment, in particular to a lower limb rehabilitation training system and method based on near infrared brain function imaging.
Background
Cerebral apoplexy is commonly called as "apoplexy", is an acute disease caused by vascular diseases for conveying blood to the brain, comprises ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, has the characteristics of high disability rate, high recurrence rate and high economic burden besides high death rate, and is one of the primary reasons for adult disability.
In early rehabilitation, the muscle strength of a plurality of patients is low, a complete rehabilitation training action cannot be completed, the lower limb rehabilitation exoskeleton can assist the patients to complete corresponding actions, a passive training mode or an auxiliary training mode combining the passive and the active is provided, the patients with better muscle strength can perform active training by utilizing the muscle strength of the patients, and meanwhile, the rehabilitation exoskeleton can also provide proper resistance to increase training effects. Previously, a learner developed exoskeleton robots for rehabilitation, called hybrid assisted limbs (hybrid assistive limb, HAL), based on the "interactive biofeedback" theory.
The actions of the HAL robot are triggered by bioelectric signals (BES) detected from muscles, the HAL supports autonomous movements of the impaired limb and feeds back the sensation of successful movements to the brain, which is activated by the sensory feedback, so that the signals of the motor network are enhanced, the HAL treatment forms a closed loop, inducing an improvement of the function of the impaired limb and potentially promoting neural plasticity. Many studies on HAL have demonstrated the effectiveness of exoskeleton robots for neurological rehabilitation.
Although the various training modes of the rehabilitation exoskeleton enable the cerebral apoplexy patient to take part in the training process in a relatively early stage, the problems of how the active participation degree of the patient, how the muscle strength recovery condition is, how the activation degree of the related area of the cerebral cortex is, how the rehabilitation training effect is still to be quantified and solved, and most of the problems are judged by only depending on the experience of rehabilitation doctors at present.
The rise of near infrared brain function imaging (fNIRS) technology, which is an emerging non-invasive brain imaging technology that uses oxygen-carrying hemoglobin (HbO) in brain tissue, brings about the resolution of the above-mentioned problems 2 ) And deoxyhemoglobin (HbR) has differential characteristics on near infrared light absorptivity of 600-900nm wavelength, hbO2 and HbR of the cerebral cortex and the absolute or relative change of the concentration of HbT of the total HbT of the HbO2 and HbR can be directly detected in real time by attaching the optical probe to the Brain to send and receive near infrared light, and a coupling relationship exists between nerves and blood vessels, so that the neuron activity of the cerebral cortex can be further deduced by using a modified Beer-Lambert law, and the novel Brain-computer interface (Brain-computer interface, BCI) can be further used. Since stroke patients are often accompanied by limb movement disorder, and the fNIRS technique does not impose too much restriction on the posture of the subject as other techniques, it is well suited for evaluation and study of the effects of rehabilitation training on stroke patients.
Academic research shows that the functional connection strength (functional connectivity, FC) between the bilateral primary cerebral motor cortex (Primary Motor Cortex, M1) of a person with unilateral motor function impaired after cerebral stroke is obviously positively correlated with the motor function score, and after rehabilitation training for a certain number of weeks, the brain function connection of the bilateral M1 area is gradually enhanced, and the motor function is also gradually recovered. Therefore, FC can be used as a quantitative index for assessing rehabilitation effect. In summary, the fNIRS technology can be used for quantitatively evaluating and feeding back information to guide rehabilitation training, but many existing researches only take the fNIRS technology as a means for evaluating rehabilitation effect, and although some researches take the fNIRS technology as a brain-computer interface, the feedback information is used for controlling a rehabilitation exoskeleton robot, only the exoskeleton can perform a few very simple control actions, and the active rehabilitation effect is not well exerted.
The application with publication number of CN114869232A discloses a rehabilitation training feedback method and system based on near infrared brain imaging, which can feed back and guide rehabilitation training auxiliary equipment of a trainee in real time, quantify rehabilitation training quality, take brain imaging map change characteristic data under standard rehabilitation training action guided by a rehabilitation engineer for the first time as a base line, remind the trainee through a bracelet, and ensure that the trainee completes rehabilitation training with high quality. According to the scheme, whether the rehabilitation actions of the trainee reach the standard or not can be reminded by the aid of the fNIRS feedback information and the bracelet, so that the workload of a rehabilitation doctor is reduced to a certain extent, but the target reference value cannot be dynamically adjusted along with the recovery of the trainee, and when the muscle strength of the trainee recovers a little, the rehabilitation doctor is required to reset target data, the operation is complicated, and the personal subjective experience of the doctor is relied on.
The application with publication number CN114391815a discloses a near-infrared brain function imaging device, which has a headgear for wearing on the head of a subject, wherein the headgear is provided with a plurality of probes for transmitting and/or receiving near-infrared signals to collect near-infrared signals of a plurality of corresponding channels, and data collection is performed for corresponding brain regions, so that the collection of near-infrared signals in a large-scale brain region is avoided, analysis and evaluation are completed in a short time, so that efficiency is improved, and meanwhile, signal drift and frequency band interference can be reduced, so that accuracy of analysis results is improved. According to the scheme, only near-infrared brain function imaging is used for evaluation and analysis, drift and disturbance are improved, a specific rehabilitation training adjustment is needed to be carried out, an adjustment strategy is provided after an evaluation result is read by a rehabilitation doctor, and at present, resources of the rehabilitation doctor are relatively tense, so that some patients cannot be timely trained.
In addition, the fNIRS-based rehabilitation technique is not combined with intelligent rehabilitation training equipment such as rehabilitation training exoskeleton and the like, so that the automation degree and the intelligent degree are low.
