Abstract

The present invention relates to a Fugel-Meyer evaluation system using a smart wand. More specifically, the Fugel-Meyer evaluation system using a smart wand uses a sensor capable of measuring an angle of each moved part of the body of an evaluation subject to compare the angle of each body part with normal range angle data of an upper limb to convert a comparison result into a percentage for comparison to measure a coordination movement more accurately than a traditional evaluation method. Also, priority data of a motion function degree are applied to increase the accuracy of determining a disability degree.

Description

{FUGEL-MEYER SCALE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM USING SMART WAND}

More particularly, the present invention relates to a system for evaluating an angle of each part of a body through a sensor capable of measuring an angle of each part of a moving body, The accuracy of the coordination motion can be measured more than the conventional evaluation method and the accuracy evaluation of the degree of the obstacle can be enhanced by applying the priority data of the degree of the motion function to the Fugly Meyer evaluation system using the smart wand .

From a neurological point of view, evaluation of upper extremity dysfunction requires a reliable and clinically relevant assessment tool. In addition, evaluation of the upper limb function required by the clinic will focus on whether the evaluator completes the coordinated motion or the daily life movement, which is difficult to be measured by the evaluator, out of simple motion-oriented measurement.

However, the evaluation tools that have been used so far are not only inefficient in terms of measurement time and labor power, but also rely on the subjective opinions of the evaluator, which makes it impossible to provide objective evaluation criteria for evaluation.

Accordingly, in the conventional Fugel-Meyer evaluation method, which is conventionally used for evaluating upper-extremity dysfunction, an item evaluating the voluntary movement, such as an example of the paper shown in Fig. (Score 0), partially performed (Score 0), and completely performed (Score 0) in the item for evaluating the flexion pattern (A. Flexor synergy) There is a problem that it is difficult to perform an accurate evaluation of various situations in which various bends are formed for the coordinated motion and the daily living movement.

Further, since the degree of flexion of the upper limb depends on the subjective judgment of the evaluator, there is a problem that it is difficult for others to grasp what criterion the evaluation was made later.

Accordingly, it is possible to more accurately determine the degree of bending of the upper limb while providing a more objective evaluation standard, and to provide a new evaluation system capable of accurately determining whether to perform various coordination operations or actions taken in daily life Is requested.

Referring to FIG. 2, the Fugelmeyer evaluation system using the smart wand according to the present invention may be applied to an upper limb made up of at least one site for evaluating the degree of bending of the upper limb, And a coincidence rate determination unit for receiving the angle transmitted from the sensor and comparing the angle with the normal range angle data of the upper extremity and converting the angle into a percentage to evaluate the degree of bending.

Accordingly, when the sensor 100 is attached to a plurality of upper limbs for measurement as shown in FIG. 2, and the routine is performed such that the arm is bent and brought close to the ear as in a telephone conversation, It is possible to objectively evaluate the degree of obstacle or the like by receiving the angle measured by each sensor 100 attached to the body on the side surface and the upper surface and comparing the degree of agreement with the normal angle data.

In FIG. 2, as an example of this evaluation, in the sensor attached to the No. 1 region, an angle of 170 degrees is measured and a coincidence rate of 97% is shown with a normal angle. In the sensor attached to the No. 2 region, an angle of 30 degrees is measured, 98%. In the case of the sensor attached to the No. 3 spot, the angle of 183 degrees is measured and 100% of the normal angle is measured. On the sensor attached to the No. 4 spot, the angle of 80 degrees is measured, , And the sensor attached to the No. 5 site measured an angle of 81 degrees and 97% of the normal angle and the sensor attached to the No. 6 site measured 100 degrees and the normal angle was 93% , And the sensor attached to the No. 7 site measures an angle of 175 degrees and shows a match rate of 98% with the normal angle. The sensor attached to the No. 8 site The sensor attached to the No. 9 sensor measures an angle of 84 degrees, which is 99% of the normal angle. In the sensor attached to the No. 10 sensor, the sensor shows 98 In the case of the sensor attached to the 11th position, an angle of 30 degrees is measured, and a matching rate of 98% is shown with the normal angle. In the sensor attached to the 12th position, the angle of 177 degrees , And the sensor attached to the No. 13 site has an angle of 80 degrees, and a ratio of 99% of the normal angle is measured. On the sensor attached to the No. 14 site, the angle of 140 degrees is measured , And the sensor attached to the No. 15 sensor showed a 135 ° angle, and the normal angle was 93% , And the sensor attached to the 16th position receives various angles from the sensors attached to the body for measurement, such as an angle of 8 degrees measured at an angle of 98% with a normal angle, .

In this manner, the degree of bending of each sensor of the subject to be evaluated is compared with the degree of bending in the normal range to calculate the corresponding rate, and then the calculated degree of bending is calculated for the whole, Was calculated to be 96.0%.
