Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device intended to be applied on a nobody to detect and memorize certain postures such as bending and exaggerated extension of the trunk. This allows this person to improve his gesture awareness and thus prevent one of the main causes of back pain: exaggerated movements towards the front and back of the trunk when standing.
- Back pain is one of the major pathologies of our society.
- the sedentary lifestyle leads to a loss of our (good) sense kinesthetic, which no longer allows us to feel precisely the postures physiologically permitted.
- Regarding the back it is estimated that 80% of the The population presents in its life a failure and back pains. The discomfort and expense of these backaches is a concern and require more than ever a reinforced preventive policy of means techniques.
- the patent WO 96/17548 refers to a housing applied to the level of vertebral spines of the wearer.
- the pressure exerted by the spines on the bearing areas of the device allows to crush a kind of switch and thus trigger an alarm.
- the areas concerned are therefore obviously restricted and the movements of life current move the housing quickly, which is then more effective.
- WO 90/07360 discloses an apparatus of which one side is intended to be leaning against the body. Part of this face is cut to form a control plate. When this plate is pressed beyond a threshold determined, it engages a vibration generator constituting an alarm Touch. However, setting the trigger threshold is difficult and does not correspond precisely to certain postures.
- the present invention provides an inexpensive device capable of signaling a bad posture of the wearer, the detection threshold can be defined with accuracy by a therapist. Moreover, its installation and use provide no discomfort in a user's daily movements normal.
- the inclinometer used is an accelerometer.
- the device includes an interface allowing, using pushbuttons, to memorize the two limit values of the angle of inclination in the computer.
- the signaling means advantageously comprise, on the one hand, a light and / or acoustic and / or vibrating alarm and, on the other hand, an externally readable memory comprising a plurality of assigned registers at successive time slots grouping a plurality of cycles, the calculator is then programmed to count, in each of these registers, ie exceedances of the forward and backward limit values observed at each cycle of the current time slot, which is the maximum value of the exceedances of the forward and backward limit values observed during this period of time.
- said cycles and said time slots have a duration respective 100 ms and 15 minutes.
- FIGS. 1a and 1b show at 10 the device according to the invention, installed on the sternum of a wearer. It is held in place by a belt thoracic 12 made by means of an elastic band whose length is adjustable by a loop.
- Figure 1a is a side view of the wearer in different positions. We will call ⁇ the angle made by the device 10, relative to the vertical, when it is applied against the sternum.
- the wearer stands straight, heels, buttocks, shoulder blades and head against a vertical, which corresponds to a reference posture for the trunk.
- the angle ⁇ then has the reference value ⁇ 0 .
- the therapist determines the front limit, corresponding to an angle ⁇ 1 , from which repeated overruns would be harmful over time.
- the therapist determines the rear limit, corresponding to an angle ⁇ 2 , from which repeated overtaking would also be harmful over time.
- the device 10 essentially comprises a inclinometer 26 providing a signal representative of the angle of inclination ⁇ , a microprocessor 28 for receiving and processing this signal, a memory type EEPROM 30 associated with the microprocessor, the interface 14, already mentioned, and a connector 32 for connecting the microprocessor and the memory to a computer 34.
- the inclinometer 26 is, in fact, an accelerometer, such as that marketed under the reference ADXL202EB by the firm Analog Device. It produces a voltage proportional to the sine of the angle of inclination ⁇ .
- the microprocessor is, by for example, the model PIC16F873 of Microchip clocked at 32 kHz.
- the use of the device according to the invention implies that its microprocessor 28 has previously recorded the limit angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 .
- the operation can be performed by a therapist who invites the person to lean forward or backward to reach the position that the practitioner considers limit. At this moment, it is sufficient for the therapist to press on the two buttons 18 and 20 simultaneously then, for example, to press the button 18 or the button 20 so that, respectively, the angle ⁇ 1 or the angle ⁇ 2 is memorized in the microprocessor 28.
- This technique is well known to those skilled in the art for many fields of application, it will not be described here in more detail.
- the microprocessor 28 is programmed to observe the behavior of the carrier in 15-minute increments and, within each bracket, perform cyclically the operations shown in Figure 3. Typically, the cycle period is 100 ms.
- the first operation 36 is the measurement of the angle ⁇ from the signal delivered by the inclinometer 26.
- the system determines, at 38, if ⁇ is less than ⁇ 1 or greater than ⁇ 2 .
- the system increments by one unit, at 44, the register of the assigned memory, for the current 15 minute slot, to the counting, as the case may be, of overruns of the forward limit or the rear limit.
- the next operation is, then, in 46, the engagement of the horns 22 and / or 24 and / or 25 which signal to the wearer a posture error. The cycle ends so.
- the device according to the invention can remain several days (except the night the device is paused) on the person and save thus, every 15 minutes, the number of overtaking, forwards or backwards, posture limits set by the therapist.
- the therapist connects him to computer 34 which can provide, in tabular or graphical form, the number of thresholds, both forwards and backwards, 15-minute increments throughout the observation period, with, in addition, the breaks.
- This histogram is very useful for clarifying the etiology of the condition and teach what preventive measures to consider.
- the system could provide the maximum value of the overruns forward and backward limit values for each reference time slot.
- the microprocessor of in such a way that the wearer is warned when he approaches, typically, unless four degrees, front and rear limits.
- the alarms emit a different (for example, weaker) signal from the one emitted in case of exceeded.
- the device can also be installed on other parts of the body, for example an arm or a leg, in certain special therapeutic conditions.
- the invention can be adapted to monitor the inclination of the patient, when leaning to one side or the other.
- two inclinometers can be combined to warn the patient if limit positions are exceeded defined in the four directions.
- the histogram will show the actual use of the device by the carrier. Indeed, in a variant, we can consider that the memory, a larger size, can not record the number of overruns, but all angle values at a specific frequency, which will allow detect that the device has been dropped without pausing.
