ところが、膝関節は、単に膝の角度を目視で計測、或いは特許文献2の技術に提案されているように、体重を負荷しないで、角度のみのひとつのパラメータを提示し,診断することのみではフィードフォワード機能しか求められない。膝関節の本来の機能である身体の円滑な移動機能、すなわち円滑な姿勢制御機能すなわちフィードバック機能を調べることは極めて困難であった。   However, the knee joint simply measures the angle of the knee visually, or presents only one angle parameter and diagnoses it without loading the weight as proposed in the technique of Patent Document 2.

次に、本装置を用いた操作手順について図3のフローを用いて説明する。   Next, an operation procedure using this apparatus will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

まず、診断対象者に所定の位置に頭部変位感知器1と、膝位置変位感知器2と、膝角度変位感知器3をセットし、診断の準備をすると共に、入力装置6で診断対象者の情報等の属性を入力する(ステップ01、以下「S01」という。)。次いで、前記各部位からの測定データの入力をする(S02)。   First, the head displacement sensor 1, the knee position displacement sensor 2, and the knee angle displacement sensor 3 are set at a predetermined position for the person to be diagnosed.

After performing the diagnosis, the numerical value, the faulty part, and the degree of the result are estimated and displayed on the display unit (S04), and printed on a medium such as paper from the printing device 5 (S05), and the diagnosis is performed again according to the result. Repeat or end the diagnosis.

診断施行者及び診断対象者はこの結果を参照することで診断結果を保持することができ、以後の治療等に役立てることができる。またこの際、各診断処理における結果についても後の治療診断に役立てるべく情報処理装置6内の記憶装置40に格納しておくことが望ましい。   The person who performed the diagnosis and the person to be diagnosed can refer to this result and hold the diagnosis result, which can be used for the subsequent treatment. At this time, it is desirable to store the results of each diagnosis process in the storage device 40 in the information processing apparatus 6 so as to be useful for later treatment diagnosis.

ここで、診断対象者に所定の位置に頭部変位感知器1と、膝位置変位感知器2と、膝角度変位感知器3の具体的な診断の測定手順について図4のフローを用いて説明する。   Here, a specific diagnosis measurement procedure of the head displacement sensor 1, the knee position displacement sensor 2, and the knee angle displacement sensor 3 at a predetermined position is explained to the person to be diagnosed with reference to the flow of FIG.

The degree of bending is preferably about 90 degrees, but a person who is diagnosed with a disorder of knee disease or an elderly person who is diagnosed may have the person bend as much as possible.

次に膝関節をその位置で保持指示する(S13)。   Next, an instruction to hold the knee joint at that position is given (S13).

次に膝伸展を指示し(S14)、膝関節伸展のまますなわち静止起立位を保持指示する(S15)。   Next, the knee extension is instructed (S14), and the knee joint extension is instructed, that is, the stationary standing position is instructed (S15).

ここで、S15はS11と等価の指示でありこのS12からS15までの一連の動作を連続するよう指示する。このときマイペースで一定回数を行う指示と、出来るだけ早く連続運動を行う指示と、個々のステップでの保持動作を一定時間維持する指示など多種類の指示することがこのましい。たとえばマイペース指示とできるだけ全速ペースとできるだけゆっくりペースが好ましい。この中のできるだけゆっくりペースの極端な膝関節屈曲位保持も好ましい。   Here, S15 is an instruction equivalent to S11, and instructs to continue the series of operations from S12 to S15. At this time, it is preferable to give various kinds of instructions such as an instruction to perform a certain number of times at a own pace, an instruction to perform continuous motion as soon as possible, and an instruction to maintain the holding operation in each step for a certain period of time. For example, my pace instruction, full speed pace as much as possible, and slow pace as much as possible are preferable.
