なお、本発明は、脊椎動物に適用可能であるが、ここでは、人への利用を例示し、更に、本発明の一用途として、得られた体温分布を利用して身体の歪みを検査する手段を例示して説明する。Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on examples shown in the drawings. Note that the embodiment is not limited to the following examples, and can be appropriately changed in design using a conventionally known technique such as the above-mentioned document without departing from the gist of the present invention. In the following embodiments, the main parts of the apparatus and method will be described. However, conventionally known techniques such as the above-mentioned documents can be appropriately applied to the apparatus details, peripheral devices, and standardly used methods. .
In addition, although this invention is applicable to a vertebrate, here, the utilization to a person is illustrated and further, as one use of this invention, body distortion is test | inspected using the obtained body temperature distribution. Means will be described as an example.
人の脊椎は、頭蓋骨の後頭骨にある大後頭孔から、骨盤に至り、頸椎（７〜８椎）、胸椎（１２椎）、腰椎（５椎）、仙椎(５椎)、尾椎（３〜６椎）の約３０個の椎骨から形成されている。それぞれの骨と骨との間は、関接で繋がり、クッションの機能をもつ椎間板がある。
身体の歪みは、その脊椎周辺の歪みとして顕著に現れ、脊椎周辺の体温の分布を検知することで検査可能である。The human spine extends from the large occipital foramen in the occipital bone of the skull to the pelvis, cervical vertebrae (7-8 vertebrae), thoracic vertebrae (12 vertebrae), lumbar vertebrae (5 vertebrae), sacral vertebrae (5 vertebrae), caudal vertebrae ( 3 to 6 vertebrae). Each bone has an intervertebral disc that is connected by an articulation and functions as a cushion.
The distortion of the body appears prominently as distortion around the spine, and can be examined by detecting the distribution of body temperature around the spine.
本発明による体温分布測定装置は、臀部と頭部との間を脊椎に沿って連続的に体温測定可能な測温手段と、従来公知のＰＣ及びその周辺機器とで構成可能である。測温手段に、それを制御する制御手段を設けてもよいし、測温手段の移動距離を測定する測距手段を設けてもよい。
なお、測定装置には一般的に、演算処理を司るＣＰＵや、それと協働するＲＯＭ・ＲＡＭ等のメモリー、ハードディスク等の記憶装置、画面表示するモニター、印刷出力するプリンター、ユーザーの入力をＣＰＵに伝達するキーボード等の入力デバイス、ネットワークと接続して通信するためのネットワークアダプタなどが備わる。また、身体の歪みと体温データプロファイル特性との関係を示す情報や、顧客の管理情報などを格納したデータベースを設けて、診断者間での情報共有等に寄与させてもよい。The body temperature distribution measuring apparatus according to the present invention can be composed of a temperature measuring means capable of continuously measuring the body temperature along the spine between the buttocks and the head, a conventionally known PC and its peripheral devices. The temperature measuring means may be provided with a control means for controlling it, or may be provided with a distance measuring means for measuring the moving distance of the temperature measuring means.
Note that the measurement device generally has a CPU that performs arithmetic processing, a memory such as a ROM / RAM, a storage device such as a hard disk, a monitor that displays a screen, a printer that prints output, and user input to the CPU. An input device such as a keyboard for transmission and a network adapter for connecting to a network for communication are provided. In addition, a database that stores information indicating the relationship between body strain and body temperature data profile characteristics, customer management information, and the like may be provided to contribute to information sharing among diagnosticians.
測温手段には、従来公知の非接触型ハンディ温度計が好適に使用できる。そのような温度計は、例えば特許文献３〜４などに開示されているものでもよいし、例えば、赤外線式体温計など、医療分野で既に流通している市販品でもよい。
A conventionally known non-contact type handy thermometer can be suitably used as the temperature measuring means. Such a thermometer may be disclosed in, for example,
測温手段の移動距離を測定する測距手段には、従来公知の接触型測距計が好適に使用できる。そのような測距計は、例えば特許文献５〜６などに開示されているものでもよいし、例えば、回転体でなぞる測距計など、事務機や文具の分野で既に流通している市販品でもよい。 As the distance measuring means for measuring the moving distance of the temperature measuring means, a conventionally known contact type distance meter can be preferably used. Such a range finder may be disclosed in, for example, Patent Documents 5 to 6 or the like, for example, a commercially available product already distributed in the field of office machines and stationery, such as a range finder that traces with a rotating body. But you can.
検査に当たっては、被験者にベッド上でうつ伏せになってもらうなどして、その背面における臀部と頭部との間を脊椎に沿って連続的に体温測定する。測定方向は、臀部から頭部へでもよいし、頭部から臀部へでもよい。また、その一部分のみの測定でもよい。
測温手段によって測定される体温とその測温位置との対応を特定するには、測温手段の移動距離を測定する測距手段に依存してもよいし、測温手段を移動させる速度を一定にし、その移動時間に依存してもよい。In the examination, the body temperature is continuously measured along the spine between the buttocks and the head on the back surface by having the subject lie down on the bed. The measurement direction may be from the buttocks to the head or from the head to the buttocks. Alternatively, only a part of the measurement may be performed.
In order to specify the correspondence between the body temperature measured by the temperature measuring means and the temperature measuring position, it may depend on the distance measuring means for measuring the moving distance of the temperature measuring means, or the speed at which the temperature measuring means is moved. It may be constant and depend on the travel time.
図１は、本発明による身体の歪み検査装置によって測定される体温データプロファイルをグラフとして、モニター表示させた例を示す説明図である。
横軸は体温を示し、縦軸は測温位置を示す。図示の縦軸は、臀部から頭部までの距離を０〜１００の数値で表し、その脇に身体のモデル図が簡略的に表示されているが、椎骨の名称など身体の部位名や、身体の詳細な図形などで具体的に表して、身体の温度分布をわかりやすく可視化してもよい。FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an example in which a body temperature data profile measured by a body strain inspection apparatus according to the present invention is displayed as a graph on a monitor.
The horizontal axis represents body temperature, and the vertical axis represents the temperature measurement position. The vertical axis in the figure represents the distance from the buttocks to the head with a numerical value of 0 to 100, and a model diagram of the body is simply displayed on the side, but the body part name such as the name of the vertebrae, The temperature distribution of the body may be visualized in an easy-to-understand manner by concretely expressing with detailed figures.
図示のグラフのように、体温データプロファイルは一般に、一定ではなく特徴的な凹凸を示す。そして、身体の歪みが大きいほど、凹凸が顕著に生じる。
そのため、身体の歪みのない人の標準的な体温データプロファイルや、ある特定の歪みのある人の標準的な体温データプロファイルなどから成る対照データと比較することで、身体の歪みを検査することができる。
また、同一被験者の過去の体温データプロファイルから成る対照データと比較すれば、身体の歪みの変容を認知することができる。整体等の施術の前後における体温データプロファイルを比較すれば、施術の効果を確認することもできる。As shown in the graph, the body temperature data profile is generally not constant and exhibits characteristic irregularities. And the unevenness | corrugation arises notably, so that distortion of a body is large.
Therefore, it is possible to test body strain by comparing it with control data consisting of a standard body temperature data profile of a person without body strain or a standard body temperature data profile of a person with a specific strain. it can.
In addition, changes in body strain can be recognized when compared with control data composed of past body temperature data profiles of the same subject. Comparing body temperature data profiles before and after treatment such as trimming can confirm the effect of the treatment.
図示のグラフには、また、左右の耳の下の後頭部の体温も併せて表示している。その左右の体温のバランスによっても、上記と同様に、身体の歪みの状態を検査できる。 In the illustrated graph, the body temperature of the occipital region under the left and right ears is also displayed. Similarly to the above, the state of body distortion can also be inspected by the balance between the left and right body temperatures.
図２は、複数の体温データプロファイルをグラフとして、モニター表示させた例を示す説明図である。
整体の施術の前後における２つの体温データプロファイルを同時に示している。図示の例では、実線グラフとして施術前の測定値、破線グラフとして施術後の測定値を示す。
一般に、施術の後は体温が上昇するので、２つのグラフは横軸方向にずれて現れる傾向がある。一方、身体の歪みは、グラフの形状、すなわち、特徴的な凹凸で評価できるので、少なくとも一方のグラフを移動させ、２つのグラフを重ねた方が、グラフ形状の変化は視認しやすい。
そこで、グラフを移動させて表示する手段を設ける。FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an example in which a plurality of body temperature data profiles are displayed as a graph on a monitor.
Two body temperature data profiles are shown simultaneously before and after the trimming procedure. In the illustrated example, the measurement value before the treatment is shown as a solid line graph, and the measurement value after the treatment is shown as a broken line graph.
In general, since the body temperature rises after the treatment, the two graphs tend to appear shifted in the horizontal axis direction. On the other hand, since the distortion of the body can be evaluated by the shape of the graph, that is, the characteristic unevenness, it is easier to visually recognize the change in the shape of the graph when at least one of the graphs is moved and the two graphs are overlapped.
Therefore, means for moving and displaying the graph is provided.
図３は、体温データプロファイルのグラフを移動させて、モニター表示させる様態の例を示す説明図である。
グラフ形状の差異を調べるために、一方のグラフ（破線グラフ）を移動させて表示した。グラフの移動方向は、上下左右への平行移動であり、移動手段は、手動でも自動でもよい。FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a state in which the graph of the body temperature data profile is moved and displayed on the monitor.
In order to examine the difference in graph shape, one graph (broken line graph) was moved and displayed. The moving direction of the graph is parallel movement in the vertical and horizontal directions, and the moving means may be manual or automatic.
図示の例では、グラフの中心線を追加表示している。
中心線は、温度グラフの中心とみなせる温度の線であり、その中心値の求め方は、相加平均でもよいし、最大温度と最低温度との中央でもよいし、算術幾何平均など統計学で用いられる様々な平均値または中央値などを適宜採用できる。
特に手動でグラフを移動させる場合には、このような補助線を追加表示させ、その補助線が一致または近接するように移動させることが好ましい。In the illustrated example, the center line of the graph is additionally displayed.
The center line is a temperature line that can be regarded as the center of the temperature graph, and the center value may be calculated by the arithmetic mean, the center of the maximum temperature and the minimum temperature, or by statistical means such as arithmetic geometric mean. Various average values or median values used can be appropriately adopted.
In particular, when manually moving the graph, it is preferable to additionally display such auxiliary lines and move the auxiliary lines so that they match or are close to each other.
複数の体温データプロファイルのグラフ形状の差異を評価するには、比較対象の２つのグラフの類似度を数値として求めてもよい。類似度の算出には、統計学で用いられる様々な相関係数などを適宜採用できる。
例えば、比較する２つのグラフを、それらの中心線が一致するように移動させ、その中心線を軸とし、その軸と一方のグラフとで囲まれる部分の面積に対する両グラフで囲まれる部分の面積の割合を用いてもよいし、両グラフの値の差分の２乗平均を用いてもよい。In order to evaluate the difference between the graph shapes of the plurality of body temperature data profiles, the similarity between the two graphs to be compared may be obtained as a numerical value. For the calculation of the similarity, various correlation coefficients used in statistics can be appropriately employed.
For example, the two graphs to be compared are moved so that their center lines coincide with each other, and the area of the portion surrounded by both graphs relative to the area of the portion surrounded by the axis and one graph is set as the axis. May be used, or the mean square of the difference between the values of both graphs may be used.

ローラー（１２）を被験者の身体上に当てて転動させながらハンディ温度計を移動させられるので、身体上を任意に選択された軸に沿って連続的に測定できる。また、一定速度で移動させることが容易であるので、測距手段を省き製造コスト削減にも寄与可能である。ローラー（１２）に、その回転量から移動距離を計測する手段を付設してもよい。
また、ローラー（１２）を用いると、被験者の身体との距離が一定に保たれる。このような部材を介して被験者の身体との距離を一定に保つと、レーザー計測などにおいて測温の精度を向上させられる利点もある。In the handy thermometer shown in FIG. 6 (a), the roller (12) is attached to a frame (16) projecting from the lower surface of the tip of the measuring part (11), and in the handy thermometer shown in FIG. 6 (b) The roller (12) is attached to a framework (17) that is extended to the side surface of the measuring section (11). Further, in the handy thermometer shown in FIG. 6B, since the gripping portion (13) is provided with the operation button (18), measurement is performed by gripping the gripping portion (13) while pressing the operation button (18). Can be controlled.
The form of the frame that supports the roller (12) is arbitrary, and may be folded and stored in a compact form. The number of rollers (12) may be two or more.
Since the handy thermometer can be moved while rolling the roller (12) on the subject's body, it can be continuously measured on the body along an arbitrarily selected axis. In addition, since it is easy to move at a constant speed, it is possible to omit the distance measuring means and contribute to a reduction in manufacturing cost. The roller (12) may be provided with means for measuring the movement distance from the amount of rotation.
Moreover, when a roller (12) is used, the distance with a test subject's body is kept constant. If the distance from the subject's body is kept constant via such a member, there is an advantage that the accuracy of temperature measurement can be improved in laser measurement or the like.
本発明によると、身体の所望部位の体温分布を簡易に測定でき、体調の検査等に寄与する。例えば、身体の歪みを簡易に検査でき、また、診断者にも被験者にもわかりやすく表示でき、適正な矯正に寄与するので、実用的であり産業上利用価値が高い。 According to the present invention, the body temperature distribution of a desired part of the body can be easily measured, which contributes to a physical condition test and the like. For example, body strain can be easily inspected, and can be displayed in an easy-to-understand manner for both the diagnostician and the subject, and contributes to appropriate correction, so it is practical and has high industrial utility value.
