Description

A walking exercise management method for mobile using metronome}

The present invention allows the patient to perform a walking exercise in accordance with the metronome sound, but after a patient's gait test, a patient-specific walking program (walking speed, exercise time, number of exercises) based on the result is applied, the metronome-based It relates to a mobile walking exercise management method.

In general, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory disease, a inflammatory reaction caused by harmful particles, resulting in decreased pulmonary function and long-term treatment and management. In addition, patients with lung cancer also show a decrease in lung function due to cancer, and thus require long-term treatment and management. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or lung cancer may have improved lung function through aerobic exercise, so exercise should be performed with a customized exercise program that introduces the principle of incremental load. In particular, aerobic exercise such as walking should be performed, but since an adverse reaction may occur during exercise, careful attention to exercise programs is required.

For proper rehabilitation exercise, the hospital runs a customized rehabilitation exercise program that fits the patient's current disease state or health condition. In addition, professional rehabilitation treatment techniques such as projection images and treadmills have been proposed [Patent Documents 1,2]. However, it is difficult for patients to visit the hospital continuously in the long term and receive the rehabilitation program. Therefore, there is a need for a technique that allows patients to perform rehabilitation exercises at home alone at home.

On the other hand, a technique for supporting a walking exercise using a portable terminal such as a smartphone has been proposed for general users. As an example, the portable terminal automatically recommends a road route suitable for a user's setting and sets an appropriate target, and displays a walking time, calories burned, a map showing a walking route, etc. on the screen [Patent Document 3]. In addition, a technique for systematically managing the walking exercise amount by continuously monitoring the user exercise amount by measuring the user's walking exercise amount using a portable terminal has been proposed [Patent Document 4].

However, the above prior arts are not applicable to patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or lung cancer, who require customized rehabilitation exercises suitable for the current state of the patient, because they are walking exercise management techniques targeting healthy users.

Therefore, there is a need for a technique that enables the patient to do it alone at home with a customized rehabilitation exercise suitable for the patient's current health condition.

Hereinafter, specific contents for carrying out the present invention will be described in accordance with the drawings.

In the description of the present invention, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and repeated explanation is omitted.

First, the configuration of the entire system for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 1, the entire system for implementing the present invention is a smart terminal 10 carried by a patient, and a service app 20 installed on a patient's smart terminal 10 to provide a walking exercise management service , And, consists of an exercise management server 30 that provides walking exercise management services. The service app 20 and the exercise management server 30 are connected through a network 80 such as the Internet to perform data communication. In addition, it may be configured to include a database 40 for storing data. In addition, a sensor (motion sensor, etc.) for measuring the number of walks is additionally provided, and may further include a wearable device 50 worn by a patient.

First, the patient's smart terminal 10 is a mobile terminal used by a patient, and is a smart terminal equipped with normal computing functions such as a smartphone, phablet, and tablet PC. In particular, the smart terminal 10 is a terminal in which an application or an application for mobile (or an app, an application) can be installed and executed.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 2, the smart terminal 10 includes a sound source output device 11 for outputting sound such as a sound source, a display 12 for displaying a screen, an input device 13 such as a touch screen or a button, and a gyro. With a motion sensor 14 such as a sensor or an acceleration sensor, a communication unit 15 for performing data communication with a mobile communication network or a local area network, a memory 19 for storing data, and a central processing unit 18 such as a mobile CPU It is composed. In addition, it may be configured to further include a position sensor (not shown) such as GPS.

Next, the service app 20 is a mobile application (or app, application) that is installed and performed on the smart terminal 10, interlocking with the exercise management server 30 or independently providing a patient's exercise management service System.

Specifically, the service app 20 guides the walking exercise with a metronome sound source according to the walking exercise program. The metronome sound source is output through the sound source output device 11 of the smart terminal 10 such as a speaker or earphone terminal. In addition, the exercise guide content may be output to the screen through the display 12 of the smart terminal 10. That is, the metronome sound source can be visually expressed and displayed on the screen.

In addition, the service app 20 measures the patient's athletic ability (maximum walking speed and walking duration), and configures a walking exercise program using the measured data. At this time, the service app 20 calculates the walking speed by measuring the patient's gait (number of walking and walking time) using the motion sensor 14 or the wearable device 50 of the smart terminal 10.

Here, the walking speed refers to the number of walking per hour. In general, since a person has a constant walking stride length, knowing the number of steps can estimate the walking distance. However, in the present invention, when measuring how long a person walks, it is measured by the number of steps, not the distance. Hereinafter, the speed is described as meaning the number of steps per hour.

In addition, the service app 20 may calculate a patient's gait when the patient performs a walking exercise according to the walking exercise program, thereby calculating the degree of exercise performance according to the walking exercise program.

In addition, when the walking exercise is completed, the service app 20 measures a patient's exercise state through a questionnaire, calculates an exercise level, and determines an exercise step of the walking exercise program. At this time, the questionnaire outputs the questionnaire question through the display 12 or the sound source output device 11 of the smart terminal 10, and receives the answer of the questionnaire question entered through the input device 13.

In addition, the service app 20 may adjust the steps of the walking exercise program according to the exercise evaluation result calculated through the questionnaire.

In addition, the service app 20 may transmit the result data of the patient's walking exercise to the exercise management server 30.

Next, the exercise management server 30 receives the patient's walking exercise result data from the service app 20 and stores it in the database 40.

The exercise management server 30 may provide the service so that the patient can check his or her walking exercise online by providing the patient's walking exercise results online, such as on the web.

Next, the wearable device 50 is a device worn by a patient and includes a sensor for measuring the number of walking of the patient. That is, it is possible to measure the number of walks through the motion sensor 14 of the smart terminal 10 carried by the patient, but for more accurate measurement, the patient wears the wearable device 50 equipped with the walk number measurement sensor You can measure the number of steps.

Preferably, the wearable device 50 performs data communication with the smart terminal 10 using short-range communication means such as Bluetooth, infrared, and Wi-Fi. In particular, the wearable device 50 wirelessly transmits data on the measured number of walks to the smart terminal 10.

Next, a method for managing a walking movement for a metronome-based mobile according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3. The walking exercise management method according to the present invention is a method performed by the service app 20 installed in the smart terminal 10.

As shown in Figure 3, the metronome-based mobile walking exercise management method according to the present invention (a) calculating the walking guide speed and duration through the patient's gait test (S10), (b) the duration of walking According to the step (S20), (c) guiding at a walking guide speed according to the set exercise step (S30), (d) measuring the patient's condition after walking exercise, exercise level Calculating step (S40), and (e) adjusting the exercise step according to the exercise level result (S50). In addition, (f) when a certain date has elapsed or when a target step is reached, it may further include a repeating step (S60) of performing the gait test step (S10) again.

First, a gait test is performed on a patient to calculate a gait guide speed and a sustainable time (or duration) of gait motion (S10). Then, the calculated walking speed is set as the maximum walking speed (S12).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, first, the walking speed is measured for a predetermined reference time (S11). The service app 20 guides the patient to a gait test for measuring the maximum gait speed, and notifies the start of the gait test. Then, the service app 20 measures the number of walks M through the motion sensor 14 or the wearable device 50 of the smart terminal 10 during the reference time t ₀ after the start of the walk test. When the reference time has elapsed, the walk test will be terminated.

Then, as shown in the following equation, the walking speed is calculated by dividing the number of walks by the reference time.

[Equation 1]

Here, M is the number of walks during the reference time t ₀ .

Preferably, the reference time is set in advance to 6 minutes, and the number of walks for 6 minutes is measured to calculate the number of walks per hour or the walking speed. At this time, the gait test for calculating the walking speed is performed only for a short time, and at this time, the patient is guided to walk with as much force as possible.

For example, if the number of walks measured by performing a walking exercise for a reference time of 6 minutes is 1200 steps, the number of walks per minute (or walking speed) is 200 step/min.

6A and 6B illustrate screens for gait inspection.

Meanwhile, a gait test may be performed once or more to calculate a walking speed as an average value.

Next, the walking guide speed T is calculated using the following equation (S13).

[Equation 2]

Here, T _m is the maximum walking speed, and α is a constant. Preferably, the constant α is set to 80% or 0.8.

Since the previous maximum walking speed is 200 step/min, 160 step/min, which is 80% of the maximum walking speed, is set as the walking guide speed.

Next, the maximum walking time capable of walking at the calculated walking guide speed is measured (14), and a duration is set as the maximum walking time (S15). At this time, preferably, after the gait test is performed before, it is measured after the minimum rest time. Preferably, it is measured 1 day after the minimum rest time.

Specifically, the service app 20 outputs the metronome or metronome sound source at the calculated walking guide speed T, and guides the patient to walk according to the output metronome sound source. At this time, the patient is guided to walk as much as possible until it is difficult, and instructed to select the end if it is difficult. Or, if it is detected that the patient cannot walk due to metronome, the measurement is automatically terminated. That is, the patient is allowed to continue walking until the patient can walk as much as possible with the corresponding walking guide speed. At this time, the measured walking time is the maximum walking time, and this is set as the duration of walking motion.

For example, if you have walked up to 10 minutes at a walking speed of 160 step/min, the duration is set to 10 minutes.

Next, according to the results of the gait test, an exercise step by one exercise time of the walking exercise is set (S20).

As shown in FIG. 5, the walking exercise program is composed of one exercise time and one exercise number per day. The exercise time for one time is to set an appropriate time for the patient to continue the walking exercise, and the number of daily exercise is to set the number of times for one day of walking exercise during the one exercise time.

The time of one workout and the number of workouts are complementary to each other. That is, if there is less exercise time per one time, the exercise program is set to increase the number of exercise times so that the total exercise time performed for one day is at least the minimum exercise time. For example, if the patient is unable to continue exercising for more than 5 minutes due to poor health status, the exercise time is set to 5 minutes and the number of exercise per day is set to 6 times, and the total exercise time per day is 30. Set to more than minutes.

The service app 20 sets the highest step as the exercise step among the steps having one exercise time equal to or less than the previously calculated duration. For example, since the duration is 10 minutes, the step in which one exercise time is 10 minutes or less is 4 steps or less (1, 2, 3, 4 steps, etc.). Therefore, the maximum of 4 steps is set as the exercise step. If the duration is 9 minutes, the exercise phase is set to 3 phases.

Next, guide the walking exercise according to the set exercise step (S30).

Specifically, the service app 20 outputs a metronome (or metronome sound source) of a walking guide speed during one exercise time according to the exercise phase. That is, when the patient commands to start the exercise, the metronome sound source of the walking guide speed is output to the sound source output device 11 such as a speaker or earphone jack, or the metronome is displayed on the screen.

Next, immediately after the walking exercise is completed, the patient's condition is measured to calculate the exercise level (S40). Preferably, the patient's condition is measured through a questionnaire. More preferably, the exercise level is measured on a Borg scale.

The vogue scale consists of numbers from '0' to '10'. The most comfortable state is ‘0’, and the more difficult it is, the more numbers ‘10’ indicates the most difficult state. After completing the exercise goal of the day, the patient evaluates his or her exercise result by selecting a number. The screen for inputting the vogue scale is shown in FIG. 6D.

Alternatively, as another embodiment, a patient's condition may be measured using a biosignal such as a heart rate. When a patient attaches a biosignal detection sensor (not shown), the patient's condition may be estimated by measuring a biosignal such as a heart rate while the patient performs a walking exercise.

Next, the exercise step is adjusted according to the measured exercise level (S50).

Specifically, the service app 20 sets an appropriate range of the exercise level in advance, and if the state where the exercise level exceeds the appropriate range continues for a predetermined period, the exercise step is decreased by one step, and the exercise level is less than the appropriate range When is continued for a predetermined period, the exercise step is increased by one step. If it is within the proper range, the current stage is maintained.

That is, a high exercise level means that the patient is burdened with walking exercise, and excessive exercise may worsen the patient's disease. In addition, since the exercise level is too low, it may be necessary to increase the exercise level to a higher level because the walking exercise effect may be small. In addition, if the patient continues walking exercise, the cardiopulmonary endurance is further strengthened due to the exercise effect, and the currently given exercise step may be easier. In this case, you need to maintain an appropriate level of exercise by increasing the level of exercise.

Preferably, if the Vogue Scale is below a suitable range for a predetermined period of time, the exercise step is increased by one step. In addition, if the Vogue Scale exceeds the appropriate range for a predetermined period of time, the exercise step is lowered by one step. At this time, more preferably, the proper range of the vogue scale is set to 5-6.

In addition, even when measuring the exercise level using the bio-signal, it is possible to set the appropriate range of the bio-signal and to adjust the exercise step by increasing or lowering the exercise step outside the set appropriate range.

On the other hand, if the current exercise step is the highest step or the lowest step, and when it is no longer possible to raise or lower the step, the exercise step is maintained in the current state and it is determined whether the final step is completed in the next step (S60). .

Next, if the exercise step does not complete the final step, the guide step of the walking exercise (S30) is repeatedly performed according to the adjusted exercise step, or when it is completed, it is repeatedly performed from the gait test step (S10) again (S60).

That is, if the exercise step does not complete the final step, the guide by the walking exercise program is repeated. The walking exercise according to the set exercise step is repeatedly performed.

The final goal of the exercise program by the current walking guide speed is set to continue the highest step (or final step) for a predetermined period. For example, the walking exercise of step 12 of FIG. 5 may be set to be performed for one week.

When the goal of the final step is completed, the gait test is performed again, the gait guide speed is set again, and the exercise program is repeatedly performed.

Above, although the invention made by the present inventors has been specifically described according to the above-described embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it is needless to say that it can be changed in various ways without departing from the gist thereof.
