Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem in the training in acupuncture wherein it takes long time to become a full-fledged acupuncturist because adjustment of the pressure to be applied in operating a needle is very subtle and it is difficult to explain the subtleness in spoken words or in written words. <P>SOLUTION: A pressure sensor is attached to the root of an acupuncture part, so that the variation of the pressure applied at the time of acupuncture can be measured. In addition, by storing the variation of the pressure a skilled acupuncturist applies at the time of acupuncture in advance, the pressure can be compared on the same graph, and therefore, the training in acupuncture with the same pressure as the skilled acupuncturist is possible. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

本発明は鍼治療訓練装置及び鍼治療訓練システムに関する。   The present invention relates to an acupuncture training apparatus and an acupuncture training system.

人体には経絡と呼ばれる気血の循環するルートがあり、この経絡の要所に一般的にツボと呼ばれている経穴が存在する。経穴は疾病の際に何らかの反応を表す点であり、この経穴に対して鍼で刺激を加えることで疾病を治癒させようというのが鍼治療である。   The human body has a meridian route called meridians, and there are acupuncture points generally called acupoints at the key points of meridians. Acupuncture points are points that express some kind of reaction in the course of illness, and acupuncture is to cure the disease by applying stimuli to the acupuncture points with acupuncture points.

鍼治療は東洋の自然思想を発端とし、多くの経験を取り込み発展し体系化されてきた医学で、近代医学とは全く無関係に発達してきた医学である。しかしながらその効能は多岐に渡り実証されており、頭痛、腰痛などの身近な症例や、半身不随など心脳の欠陥障害のリハビリに適用されたり、薬を投与することの出来ない患者に対しての手術時の麻酔や、神経痛やがんの痛み止めとしても適用されたりしている。   Acupuncture is a medicine that has been developed and systematized based on the natural thoughts of the Orient and has gained a lot of experience, and has developed completely independent of modern medicine. However, its efficacy has been demonstrated in a wide range, and it is applied to rehabilitation of familiar cases such as headache and low back pain, heart and brain defect disorders such as involuntary half-body, and for patients who cannot administer drugs. It is also applied as an anesthetic during surgery and as a pain relief for neuralgia and cancer.

また、鍼治療は薬学療法と違って副作用がないということが大きな利点として挙げられる。薬学療法によって疾病が中々治癒せず、薬を継続服用することでかえって体調を悪化させてしまったなどという場合に、鍼治療は大変有用な治療法なのである。鍼治療の効能は多岐に渡り実証されており、また副作用が無いというメリットがあるため、近年普及の動きが活発に見られるようになってきている。
特開２００５−２８７６５６ Another major advantage of acupuncture is that it has no side effects unlike pharmaceutical treatment. Acupuncture is a very useful treatment if the illness is not cured by pharmacological therapy and the patient's physical condition is worsened by taking the medicine continuously. The effectiveness of acupuncture has been demonstrated in a wide variety of areas, and there are no side effects.

しかしながら、鍼師を育成するための訓練環境には以下に述べるような問題点がある。鍼治療において鍼を操作する際の力加減は、治療効果と密接な関係にあるため、非常に微細であり、言葉や文章で表すことが困難なものとなっている。しかしながら、現行の訓練はここに依存しており、結果として一人前の鍼師になるためにはかなりの時間を要することとなってしまっている。   However, the training environment for training acupuncturists has the following problems. Since the power when manipulating the acupuncture in acupuncture is closely related to the therapeutic effect, it is very fine and difficult to express in words and sentences. However, current training relies on this, and as a result, it takes a considerable amount of time to become a full-time acupuncturist.

本発明は、上記の問題点を解決すべき課題としている。   The present invention is to solve the above problems.

第１発明の装置は、鍼治療に用いる鍼と同様に鍼部と手に持つための柄部を備えており、さらに該鍼部の根元に圧力センサを備えていることを特徴とする。   The device according to the first aspect of the present invention is characterized in that it includes a heel portion and a handle portion for holding in the hand like the heel used for acupuncture treatment, and further includes a pressure sensor at the base of the heel portion.

第１発明の装置は鍼部の根元に圧力センサを備えている。このため、本装置を用いて鍼の刺入を行ったときに操作者が鍼に加えた力を測定することができる。   The apparatus of the first invention includes a pressure sensor at the base of the buttock. For this reason, it is possible to measure the force applied to the heel by the operator when the heel is inserted using this apparatus.

したがって、言葉や文章で表すことが困難であった鍼刺入時の微細な力加減を測定することが可能となる。   Therefore, it becomes possible to measure the fine force adjustment at the time of puncture that was difficult to express with words and sentences.

また、第２発明のシステムは、第１発明の装置とコンピュータ装置によって構成された鍼治療訓練システムであり、第１発明の装置を用いて測定された鍼刺入時の力の変化をコンピュータによって表示することができるように構成したことを特徴とする。   The system of the second invention is an acupuncture training system comprising the device of the first invention and a computer device, and the change in force at the time of acupuncture measured using the device of the first invention is measured by a computer. It is characterized in that it can be displayed.

第２発明のシステムは操作者が第１発明の装置を用いて鍼の刺入を行ったときに加えた力の変化をコンピュータによってグラフで表示することが可能である。このため、操作者は鍼の刺入時に自分が加えた力の変化を定量的に確認することができる。   The system of the second invention can display the change of the force applied by the operator when the operator inserts the bag using the device of the first invention in a graph by a computer. For this reason, the operator can quantitatively confirm the change in the force applied by the operator when the bag is inserted.

したがって、現行では刺入時に手に返る力のみで判断していたものが、治療に適した力を定量的に確認しながら訓練を行うことも可能になる。   Therefore, what is currently determined only by the force of returning to the hand at the time of insertion can be practiced while quantitatively confirming the force suitable for treatment.

また、第３発明のシステムは、第２発明に記載した鍼治療訓練システムであって、コンピュータ装置にあらかじめ熟練者が鍼を刺入する際に加えた力の変化を記憶させておくことで、操作者が装置を用いて鍼刺入時に加えた力の変化と比較しながら訓練することができるように構成したことを特徴とする。   Further, the system of the third invention is the acupuncture training system described in the second invention, in which the computer device stores in advance a change in force applied when an expert inserts the acupuncture in advance. It is configured so that an operator can perform training while comparing with a change in force applied at the time of insertion with a device.

第３発明のシステムは、熟練者が鍼刺入時に加えた力の変化を記憶しておくことができる。このため、操作者は自分が鍼刺入時に加えた力の変化と熟練者が加えた力の変化を同じグラフ上で比較することができるため、熟練者と同じような力加減に鍼を刺す訓練を行うことができる。   The system of the 3rd invention can memorize | store the change of the force which the expert applied at the time of sticking. For this reason, since the operator can compare the change in the force he / she applied at the time of insertion with the change in the force applied by the expert on the same graph, he / she puts the heel in the same level as the expert Training can be done.

以下、本発明を具体化した実施例を、図面を参照しつつ説明する。 DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments embodying the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

図１は第１発明の装置の構成図である。鍼部の根元に圧力センサを備えていることで、該装置を用いて鍼を刺入した場合に操作者が加えた力の変化を測定することが可能となる。   FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the apparatus of the first invention. By providing the pressure sensor at the base of the heel part, it is possible to measure a change in the force applied by the operator when the heel is inserted using the device.

図２は第１発明の装置とコンピュータ装置によって構成された鍼訓練システムの構成図である。本システムを用いれば、図３のように操作者が鍼刺入時に加えた力の変化をグラフで表すことが可能となる。   FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a wrinkle training system constituted by the apparatus of the first invention and a computer apparatus. If this system is used, as shown in FIG. 3, the change of the force applied by the operator at the time of sticking can be represented by a graph.

また、図４のような熟練者が加えた力を記憶しておけば、図５のように操作者が加えた力と同じグラフ上で比較することができ、加えた力の大小や、鍼刺入時の速度の大小を確認しながら訓練を行うことが可能となる。   Further, if the force applied by the skilled person as shown in FIG. 4 is stored, it can be compared on the same graph as the force applied by the operator as shown in FIG. Training can be performed while checking the speed of insertion.

以上において、本発明を実施例に即して説明したが、本発明は上記実施例に制限されるものではなく、その趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で適宜変更して適用できることはいうまでもない。   While the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be appropriately modified and applied without departing from the spirit thereof.
