Druck-Mess-Sensor mit Akustikgeber bestimmt zum Einbau in die Schuhe von Patienten im Bereich der KrankenheilkundePressure measuring sensor with acoustic transmitter intended for installation in the shoes of patients in the field of healthcare
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein medizinisches Gerät in dem Bereich der Krankenheilkunde, hier im besonderen einsetzbar bei Bein-, Gelenk- und Knieverletzungen aller Art, bei denen zum Erreichen des Heilungszieles und zur Förderung der Genesung eine bestimmte, vom behandelnden Arzt vorgeschriebene maximale oder auch minimale Belastung der betroffenen Körperpartien nicht über- oder unterschritten werden soll.The invention relates to a medical device in the field of physiotherapy, which can be used in particular for leg, joint and knee injuries of all kinds, where a certain maximum or minimum load on the affected body parts, as prescribed by the treating doctor, should not be exceeded or fallen below in order to achieve the healing goal and to promote recovery.
Der Patient kann nicht oder nur ungefähr einschätzen, mit welchem Gewicht er die betroffene Körperpartie belastet und gefährdet dadurch unwissentlich den Heilungsprozeß. Auch ist bei der heute allgemein vorgenommenen Praxis der Einübung der Belastung durch den Physiotherapeuten mittels (Badezimmer-) Waage die Einhaltung dieser zweifelhaft, da der Erinnerungswert der Einübung gering und die Motivation der Patienten zur exakten Einhaltung der Vorgaben ebenfalls gering ist.The patient cannot estimate, or can only estimate roughly, how much weight he is putting on the affected part of the body and thereby unknowingly endangers the healing process. In addition, the common practice of having the physiotherapist practice the load using (bathroom) scales is questionable as the recall value of the exercise is low and the motivation of the patient to follow the instructions exactly is also low.
Ziel dieser Innovation ist es daher, dem Patienten.bei jedem Schritt ein Oberschreiten der Maximalbelastung oder ein Unterschreiten der Minimalbelastung akustisch mitzuteilen, sodaß ein Ignorieren der Fehlbelastung zumindest erschwert wird und so den Heilungsprozeß positiv zu unterstützen.The aim of this innovation is therefore to acoustically inform the patient at every step if the maximum load is exceeded or the minimum load is not reached, so that ignoring the incorrect load is at least made more difficult and thus positively supports the healing process.
Die Lösung dieses Problems durch meine Erfindung liegt in dem Einbau eines Druck-Mess-Sensors mit Akustikgeber in jedem Schuh des Patienten, der bei Fehlbelastung ein akustisches Signal zwecks Warnung abgibt und den Patienten auf den Belastungsfehler Aufmerksam macht. Da verschiedene Alarmauslöse-Belastungen nötig sind und sich auch die optimale Belastung im Laufe der Therapie ändern kann, ist die Apparatur über ein Potentiometer stufenlos auf die benötigte Auslösebelastung einstellbar.The solution to this problem through my invention lies in the installation of a pressure measuring sensor with an acoustic transmitter in each of the patient's shoes, which emits an acoustic signal as a warning in the event of incorrect loading and draws the patient's attention to the loading error. Since different alarm trigger loads are necessary and the optimal load can also change during the course of therapy, the device can be continuously adjusted to the required trigger load using a potentiometer.
Im folgenden Beispiel wird ein Patient mit einer Knieverletzung und einem Eigengewicht von 75kg therapiert,. Er soll nach Indikation des behandelnden Arztes die erste Woche das Knie mit 5kg, die folgende Woche mit 10 kg belasten. Der Patient benutzt zur Belastungsreduzierung des verletzten Knies Krücken, mittels derer er die Belastung theoretisch von Okg bis zum vollen Eigengewicht varieren kann. Wie Eingangs angesprochen, fehlt hierzu jedoch das Einfühlungsvermögen.In the following example, a patient with a knee injury and a body weight of 75 kg is being treated. According to the doctor's instructions, he should place 5 kg of weight on his knee in the first week and 10 kg in the following week. The patient uses crutches to reduce the load on the injured knee, with which he can theoretically vary the load from 1 kg to his full body weight. However, as mentioned at the beginning, there is a lack of empathy for this.
An diesem Punkt setzt meine Erfindung an:This is where my invention comes in:
Der Patient erhält einen Schuh für den Fuß, an dessen Seite sich das verletzte Bein befindet, in denen der Druck-Mess-Sensor mit Akustikgeber integriert ist. Der Therapeut stellt den Alarm auf einen Wert größer als 5kg ein. Belastet der Patient nun beim Gehen mittels der Krücken sein Bein und damit das verletzte Knie mit mehr als 5kg, so ertönt ein akustisches Signal. Der Patient weiß nunmehr bei jedem Schritt, ob er die maximal zulässige Belastung überschritten hat. Weiterhin kann sich der Patient durch diese Lösung an den zulässigen Wert heranarbeiten und bekommt durch die bei jedem Schritt stattfindende Oberprüfung ein Gefühl für das Belastungsgewicht.The patient is given a shoe for the foot on the side of which the injured leg is located, in which the pressure measuring sensor with acoustic transmitter is integrated. The therapist sets the alarm to a value greater than 5kg. If the patient now places more than 5kg of weight on his leg and thus on the injured knee when walking using the crutches, an acoustic signal sounds. The patient now knows with every step whether he has exceeded the maximum permissible load. Furthermore, this solution allows the patient to work towards the permissible value and gets a feel for the load weight through the check that takes place with every step.
In der zweiten Woche erhöht der Therapeut den Auslösewert auf 10 kg. Durch das vorangegangene Training ist dem Patienten die Belastung mit 5kg gefühlsmäßig vertraut, bei Erreichen des Belastungswertes von 10kg ertönt der Alarm.In the second week, the therapist increases the trigger value to 10 kg. Due to the previous training, the patient is familiar with the 5 kg load; when the load value of 10 kg is reached, the alarm sounds.
Analog zu dem obigen Fallbeispiel ist auch der umgekehrte Fall denkbar, daß eine Minimalbelastung wünschenswert ist. Hier würde dann der gewünschte Belastungswert eingestellt und dem Patienten vorgegeben, daß der Akustikgeber bei jedem Schritt ertönen muß.Analogous to the above example, the opposite case is also conceivable, where a minimum load is desirable. In this case, the desired load value would then be set and the patient would be told that the acoustic sensor must sound with each step.
Die Vorteile der Erfindung sind vielfältig:The advantages of the invention are manifold:
Die gewünschte Minimal- oder Maximalbelastung der Körperpartien kann exakt eingehalten werden.The desired minimum or maximum load on the body parts can be precisely maintained.
Der Patient bekommt zwangsläufig ein Gefühl für die Höhe der Belastung.The patient inevitably gets a feeling for the level of stress.
Der Heilungsprozeß wird hierdurch erheblich unterstützt.This significantly supports the healing process.
