Description

Muscle real-time monitoring and analyzing system based on lower limb exoskeleton robot
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medical health detection instruments, and particularly relates to a muscle real-time monitoring and analyzing system based on a lower limb exoskeleton robot and a using method thereof.
Background
According to the Chinese stroke report, in 2019, the new stroke of China reaches 394 tens of thousands, the total number of stroke patients exceeds 2876 tens of thousands, according to incomplete statistics, only 5% -20% of patients after the stroke can be completely recovered, and 55% -75% of patients still have serious limb dysfunction after 6 months.
Hemiplegia rehabilitation is a long process generally, and many hemiplegia patients can only choose to accept short-term treatment or perform rehabilitation training at home in the face of a tight medical resource, but such training is difficult to standardize, and treatment results are difficult to quantify, so that an accurate improvement and optimization treatment scheme cannot be achieved, and the actual rehabilitation effect is influenced. Therefore, further research and improvement of the existing therapeutic rehabilitation method for patients with cerebrovascular disease sequelae are particularly important and urgent.
The human gait refers to the posture and the motion of a person when walking, and the normal walking gait has the characteristics of coordination, balance and periodicity. Gait analysis is recognized as an effective assessment method in the field of human exercise rehabilitation research, and can sufficiently quantify the exercise behavior of walking. Clinical gait analysis aims at revealing key links and influencing factors of gait abnormality through biomechanics and kinematics means, so as to assist rehabilitation evaluation and treatment and complete relevant clinical diagnosis, curative effect evaluation, mechanism research and the like of patients.
The lower limb exoskeleton robot is a device which can be worn on the lower limb of a human body and is used for assisting a person with disabled lower limb to recover walking ability. For people with partial loss of the lower limb exercise ability, the lower limb exoskeleton can also play an obvious auxiliary rehabilitation role. When a hemiplegic patient wearing lower limb exoskeleton carries out rehabilitation training by means of the hemiplegic patient wearing lower limb exoskeleton, fatigue is easy to generate and the patient is not self-aware because of weak muscle capacity, if the rehabilitation training is continued under the condition, bad influences such as gait instability are easy to generate, and negative effects are generated on the whole rehabilitation process. Therefore, the set of process of adding the fatigue detection device to the lower limb exoskeleton, processing and comparing the collected myoelectricity data and timely feeding back the result to the user has obvious practical value. The current common way to detect muscle fatigue is to collect muscle surface electromyographic signals, calculate the average frequency or spectrum distance, and define the fatigue degree of the muscle according to the numerical variation of the average frequency and spectrum distance.
This approach has been applied in numerous examples.
The gait detection of the patient can be completed by means of the surface electromyographic signals of the lower limb muscle groups and the shank flexion and extension acceleration, the current walking state of the patient is simulated, and the bad gait detection of the patient can be completed by comparing the trends of the gait of the patient each time and comparing the trends with the normal gait. The technology is widely used in the rehabilitation field at present.
Xie Longhan et al in China, the invention discloses a multi-mode sensing system (patent number: CN 114366559A) for a lower limb rehabilitation robot, which comprises a plurality of sensors, and the state sensing of the lower limb movement is completed by collecting various human body data. However, the patent does not use the lower limb electromyographic signals as the main parameters for gait detection, and does not include the functions of bad gait real-time detection and warning. ( The content is added: the robot needs to use the exoskeleton robot for rehabilitation training, most of patients with serious disability of lower limbs have relatively weak functions of nerves and muscles of the lower limbs, the sensing capability and the control capability of the lower limbs are poor, if the robot does not have the functions of detecting and alarming bad gait in real time, the conditions of unconsciousness, unstable gait and unconsciousness in the rehabilitation training process can possibly occur, if the rehabilitation training is continued under the conditions, the rehabilitation treatment effect of the patients is greatly reduced, and the robot can even produce a reaction after a long time. )
Chen Sai the step counting and movement state evaluation device mentioned in the Chinese patent publication (patent No. CN 105561567A) integrates a myoelectric sensor and a movement sensor, and can select a wearing position according to the application way of a user to complete the effect of monitoring the current movement state. However, the patent does not fully consider the actual needs of severely disabled lower limb individuals using lower limb exoskeleton robots for rehabilitation training. Firstly, a set of independent systems is not deeply integrated with the lower limb exoskeleton robot, in which case, if the system is used in combination with the lower limb exoskeleton robot, the sensor may shake or squeeze due to structural differences of the exoskeleton, and the monitoring effect may be seriously affected; and each time the patient needs to charge and maintain two sets of systems of the exoskeleton and the evaluation device, the patient with difficulty in limb movement is more troublesome. In the data noise reduction process, the Butterworth noise reduction method is adopted in the embodiment, and the Kalman filtering method is adopted in the invention.

The cooperative analysis of the lower limb muscles can be completed through waveforms of the myoelectric signals of the muscles of each group and gait segmentation results obtained through acceleration analysis, and the whole gait acquisition process is completed through the results.
Each set of gait data obtained should be stored as important supplementary data and immediately compared with the normal human gait stored in the data analysis device, and at the same time, each set of gait data of the patient should be compared in real time.
When the detected gait of the patient is greatly different from the normal gait or is obviously changed from the initial gait of the patient, the system judges the gait as suspected bad gait, the current condition is immediately displayed on a display, and meanwhile, the sounding device also immediately gives an alarm to prompt the patient to pay attention.
In order to maximize the rehabilitation effect, the patient should pay attention to each system reminder, and the rehabilitation training is stopped or paused as required.
If a patient performs rehabilitation training with bad gait for a long time, the overall rehabilitation training effect is adversely affected, and the limb movement ability of the patient is in a weaker state, so that compared with the ordinary person, the patient is more likely to cause movement injury due to bad gait.
