Description

Gait-based cognitive impairment evaluation method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medical engineering combination, and particularly relates to a gait-based cognitive impairment evaluation method.
Background
Cognitive disorders include several conditions, ranging from mild (e.g., mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)) to severe (e.g., alzheimer's Disease (AD) and other dementias). AD is identified by the world health organization as a global public health focus. MCI refers to the transitional phase between normal aging and dementia. MCI is classified into forgetting type MCI (acmi) and non-forgetting type MCI, acmi mainly affecting short-term memory or long-term memory. The most established pre-subtype of AD is acci, which is considered a precursor symptom of AD, with a annual conversion rate of 6% to 25%.
With the advent of the aging society in China, age-related cognitive impairment, including the prevalence of dementia, has been a trend of increasing significantly in recent years, and the need for cognitive impairment assessment has also increased. At present, the means for screening cognitive impairment mainly depend on various evaluation scales such as a Montreal cognitive evaluation scale (MOCA), a brief mental state scale (MMSE), a clinical dementia evaluation scale (CDR) and the like, but the operation of each scale is complex during measurement, and a large amount of manpower and material resources are consumed. There is therefore a need for a more sensitive and quantitative assessment method.
In addition to cognitive impairment, MCI patients may also develop motor dysfunction, such as gait impairment. Gait disturbances are also common in AD patients. Gait has close relation with cognition, a large number of clinical tests reflect gait disorder conditions such as stride, pace, stride frequency and the like through gait detection, so that the cognitive function condition of a subject is estimated, and the gait is provided as a sensitive index for estimating the cognitive disorder. Furthermore, walking is a process requiring memory, executive function, coordination of movement and attention, so a dual task gait, i.e. walking while performing a task requiring attention, has also been shown to be more affected in cognitively impaired individuals than in individuals without cognitive impairment. Accordingly, a dual task assessment has been used to detect individuals with abnormal decline in cognitive ability by assessing decline in gait manifestations from a single task (e.g., walking) to a dual task walking test (e.g., walking while subtracting 100).
Disclosure of Invention
In order to meet the requirements of people on cognitive impairment evaluation and solve the problem that the current evaluation method is tedious and complex, the invention provides a gait-based cognitive impairment evaluation method, which can rapidly obtain accurate cognitive impairment evaluation results through objectively quantized gait parameters and can perform early evaluation, later rehabilitation training and guiding treatment for people suffering from cognitive impairment and the like.
The technical proposal is as follows:
a cognitive dysfunction assessment method based on gait comprises the following steps:
s1, acquiring double-task gait data of a subject when executing a walking task and executing a countdown task;
s2, calculating the cognitive impairment degree of the subject through the following formula:
MA=W*G+L
wherein MA represents MOCA score, W represents weight vector, G represents gait vector, and L represents constant;
s3, obtaining a conclusion of the degree of disorder through the following MOCA score standard:
MA = 20-30 minutes: normal;
MA = 21-26 points: mild cognitive impairment;
MA = 10-20 minutes: moderate cognitive impairment;
MA = 0-9 points: severe cognitive impairment.
Further, in step S1, the walking task is: the subject walks at a comfortable speed, with a length >10m.
Further, in step S1, the countdown task is a countdown 100 task, the test is performed on a flat ground, the subject starts walking, and the countdown from 100 to 0 starts.
Further, in step S2, the weight vector W is an un-normalized coefficient obtained by using a multiple linear regression model based on the training samples, w= [ -71.128, 107.664, -1.211, -0.032, -34.644, 44.824,0.114,0.148].
Further, in step S2, the elements of the gait vector G include a stride, a pace speed, a stride frequency, a swing phase, a support time, a swing time, a toe off angle and a heel strike angle when the walking task is performed and the reciprocal task is performed, wherein:
stride length: the distance from one heel strike to the side heel strike again;
pace speed: a linear distance of overall movement in a direction of travel per unit time;
step frequency: number of steps taken per minute;
swing phase: the toe of one lower limb is lifted off to the same side of the foot, and the toe of the lower limb accounts for about 40% of the whole gait cycle;
support time: the time during which the feet support the ground during a gait cycle;
swing time: during a gait cycle, the foot is stepped forward from the ground to the time between landing again;
toe off angle: when the foot is about to leave the ground, the toe forms an included angle with the ground;
heel strike angle: when the foot is about to contact the ground, the heel forms an included angle with the ground.
Further, in step S2, the constant l=124.2.
The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows:
according to the gait-based cognitive impairment evaluation method, the correlation between gait data and MOCA scores when the reciprocal 100 tasks are executed while walking is combined for the first time, a multi-element linear regression model is utilized to obtain an unmetallized coefficient, the R square value of the determined coefficient can reach 0.853, and the significance P value is 0.025; the invention can rapidly obtain accurate cognitive impairment evaluation results through objectively quantized gait parameters, and can perform early evaluation, later rehabilitation training and guiding treatment for people suffering from cognitive impairment and the like.
