Description

Digital prescription management server based on muscle examination {Server for managing digital prescription based on muscle examination}

The present invention relates to a digital prescription method, and more particularly, to a digital prescription management server based on a muscle test.

In the case of muscle or fracture damage, a muscle or fracture test is performed to check for inflammation or fracture. However, although inflammation and fractures are checked, the condition of the muscles is not checked. However, sex, age, occupation, approximation frequency, exercise status, etc. are predicted through a questionnaire, which is simply a patient's opinion, and does not confirm an accurate muscle condition.

Without confirming the exact muscle condition, the doctor prescribes through medical examination and imaging. However, a treatment method is selected by a physical therapist and physical therapy is performed. In addition, during physical therapy, accurate treatment cannot be performed because the patient is consulted and asked for an appropriate strength. Therefore, treatment performed without an accurate prescription is fundamentally limited in treatment.

A method for generating a rehabilitation program for muscle treatment and an apparatus for providing a rehabilitation program disclosed in Korean Publication No. 10-2016-0062500 (hereinafter referred to as prior literature) measure an EMG signal related to a muscle. Motion information related to the use of muscles constituting the rehabilitation program is set using the measured EMG signal. Corresponding to the rehabilitation intensity for muscle treatment, an interface for receiving motion information as an event is created/provided. Since the prior literature simply creates a rehabilitation program based on only the EMG signal, it is difficult to use it in various fields, and as described above, there is a problem in that it is difficult to accurately grasp the condition of each patient.

The present invention is to solve the above-described technical problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a server for digital prescription management based on a muscle test.

The control unit accesses the prescription information DB of the storage unit to manage prescription information, controls the prescription information to be stored in the prescription information DB when new prescription information is input through the inspection device, and changes the existing prescription information. In this case, update the prescription information stored in the prescription information DB, analyze the prescription information provided from the prescription information DB when there is a prescription service request from the test device, and use the result of analyzing the prescription information to provide the patient's prescription service. By performing prescription service filtering according to the purpose of use or treatment, it is possible to allow multiple patients to share and use the digital prescription service.

As an embodiment, the digital prescription management server may digitally manage the type, intensity, and frequency of the electrical stimulation when prescribing electrical stimulation treatment to the muscle region according to the muscle stimulation signal. The digital prescription management server may manage to perform the primary inspection through medical examination and images for the muscle area where inflammation or fracture has occurred.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart for illustratively explaining an operating method of the prescription information management unit shown in FIG. 3 . 6 exemplarily illustrates a case in which a painful area is a muscle. In general, when there is inflammation or fracture in a muscle, a physical therapist performs physical therapy without confirming the condition of the muscle. In this case, there is a case where the part for the muscle or the like is not fundamentally treated.

In S210 , the prescription information management unit 2340 may manage information about performing a primary examination on a painful muscle part through a medical examination or an image. The doctor may use a medical device to examine the muscle condition of the patient and provide the results of the primary inspection to the digital prescription management server 2000 .

In S220, the prescription information management unit 2340 may manage information on the secondary test performed through the muscle stimulation signal. According to an embodiment, the muscle stimulation signal may be a low-frequency signal having a limited energy level for body stability. For example, muscle stimulation signals include electromyography (EMG), range of motion (ROM), maximum voluntary isomeric contraction (MVIC), and reference voluntary contraction (RVC). can include

For example, surface electromyography (sEMG) is measured in a painless and non-invasive manner by attaching electrodes to the skin surface. Therefore, unlike needle electromyography (nEMG), which measures only one motor unit action potential trains (MUAPTs), it is possible to quantitatively analyze the overall synergistic activity of a set of motor units painlessly and comfortably. EMG can diagnose functional abnormalities, not structural characteristics of muscles.

In particular, RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) caused by repeated muscle use, which is the most common musculoskeletal disease, WRMD (Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorder) caused by excessive work, Myofascial Pain Syndrome, which causes pain in a specific muscle part called a trigger point, The clinical value of surface electromyography is high in the diagnosis of CFIDS (Chronic Fatigue & Immune Dysfunction Syndrome) or fibromyalgia and in rehabilitation training. By using electromyography, the therapist and patient can objectively check whether muscle function has been sufficiently restored to normal during various rehabilitation treatments such as low-frequency therapy, acupuncture, massage, or heat therapy, so the satisfaction with treatment is high.

The narrower the distance between the reference electrode and the measuring electrode, the more the activity of the corresponding muscle part is monitored (specific-mode), and the greater the distance, the more general activity of various muscle parts can be monitored (general-mode). For example, in the case of pain in a large muscle area, the general-mode is observed, and in the case of pain in a specific muscle, the specific-mode is preferred. The electrodes can be placed anywhere on the muscle. The surface EMG measured at each muscle site is used clinically through several quantitative analyses.

In S230, the prescription information management unit 2340 may manage the digital content prescription based on the parameter result according to the muscle stimulation signal. Taking the EMG as an example, muscles differ according to age, gender, and muscle mass. In the past, physical therapy was performed not by a doctor's prescription, but by a physical therapist's intuitive judgment or a decision made through inquiry to the patient. According to this embodiment, a doctor may directly digitally prescribe the type, intensity, and frequency of physical therapy or content prescription through the EMG.

When physical stimulation is prescribed based on the test result of the EMG signal, a doctor may directly prescribe a treatment program using software to accurately perform the physical stimulation. For example, based on test results, electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and functional electrical stimulation ( Customized treatments such as functional electrical stimulation (FES) can be prescribed.

In S240 , the prescription information management unit 2340 may manage information for the physical therapist to perform rehabilitation treatment according to the doctor's content prescription.

The foregoing are specific examples for carrying out the present invention. In addition to the above-described embodiments, the present invention will also include embodiments that can be simply or easily changed in design. In addition, the present invention will also include techniques that can be easily modified and practiced using the embodiments. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the above-described embodiments and should not be defined, and should be defined by those equivalent to the claims of this invention as well as the claims to be described later.
