Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a metronome-based walking exercise management method for mobile using metronome,

The present invention relates to a metronome-based walker that allows a patient to perform a walking exercise in accordance with a metronome sound, wherein a patient-customized walking program (walking speed, exercise time, exercise frequency) The present invention relates to a mobile walking exercise management method.

Generally, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory disease. It is caused by inflammation caused by particles that are harmful to chronic inflammatory diseases, resulting in pulmonary dysfunction and dyspnea. Long-term treatment and management are needed. In addition, patients with lung cancer also suffer from lung cancer, resulting in the need for long-term treatment and management. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or lung cancer may experience pulmonary function improvement through aerobic exercise, so exercise should be performed with a customized exercise program that introduces the principle of incremental loading. Particularly, it is necessary to exercise aerobic exercise such as walking, but it is necessary to pay close attention to exercise program because adverse reactions may occur during exercise.

For proper rehabilitation, the hospital has a tailored rehabilitation program tailored to the patient's current illness or health condition. In addition, professional rehabilitation techniques such as projection images and treadmill have been proposed [Patent Literatures 1 and 2]. However, it is difficult for patients to receive long-term continuous visits to the hospital for the rehabilitation program. Therefore, there is a need for a technique that enables patients to carry out rehabilitation exercises in hospitals alone at home.

On the other hand, a technique for supporting a walking exercise using a portable terminal such as a smart phone is presented for general users. For example, the portable terminal automatically recommends a road route suitable for a user's setting, sets an appropriate target, and displays a walking time, consumed calories, a map showing a walking route, and the like on the screen. In addition, a technology for systematically managing the walking momentum by continuously measuring the user's exercise amount by measuring the user's walking momentum using the portable terminal has been proposed [Patent Document 4].

However, since the above-described prior arts are walking exercise management techniques for healthy users, they can not be applied to COPD patients or lung cancer patients who need a customized rehabilitation exercise suited to the current state of the patient.

Therefore, a customized rehabilitation exercise that suits the patient's current health condition requires a technique that allows the patient to do it at home alone.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In the description of the present invention, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and repetitive description thereof will be omitted.

First, a configuration of an overall system for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

1, the overall system for implementing the present invention includes a smart terminal 10 possessed by a patient and a service application 20 installed in a patient's smart terminal 10 and providing a walking exercise management service. And a exercise management server 30 for providing a walking exercise management service. The service application 20, the exercise management server 30, and the like are connected through the network 80 such as the Internet to perform data communication. And a database 40 for further storing data. In addition, it may further comprise a wearable device 50 provided with a sensor (motion sensor or the like) for measuring the walking water and worn by the patient.

First, the patient's smart terminal 10 is a smart terminal having ordinary computing functions such as a smart phone, a tablet, and a tablet PC as a mobile terminal used by a patient. In particular, the smart terminal 10 is a terminal to which an application or a mobile application (or an app or an application) can be installed and executed.

2, the smart terminal 10 includes a sound source output device 11 for outputting a sound source or the like, a display 12 for displaying a screen, an input device 13 such as a touch screen or a button, 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 communication network, a memory 19 for storing data, and a central processing unit 18 such as a mobile CPU . And a position detection sensor (not shown) such as a GPS or the like.

Next, the service application 20 is a mobile application (or app, application) installed in and executed by the smart terminal 10, and is a program that interlocks with the exercise management server 30 or independently provides exercise management services for the patient System.

Specifically, the service application 20 guides a walking exercise with a metronome sound source according to a 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 an earphone terminal. In addition, the contents of the exercise guide 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 output to the screen.

In addition, the service application 20 measures the exercise capacity (maximum walking speed and walking duration) of the patient and constructs a walking exercise program using the measured data. At this time, the service application 20 measures the walking (the number of walking and the walking time) of the patient using the motion sensor 14 or the wearable device 50 of the smart terminal 10 to calculate the walking speed.

Here, the walking speed refers to the number of walking per hour. Generally, since a person has a constant walking stride, the walking distance can be estimated by knowing the number of walking. However, in the present invention, when measuring how far the user has walked, the walking distance is measured as the walking distance. In the following description, the speed means the number of walking per hour.

Also, when the patient performs the walking exercise according to the walking exercise program, the service app 20 can measure the walking of the patient and calculate the exercise performance according to the walking exercise program.

When the walking exercise is completed, the service app 20 determines the exercise level of the walking exercise program after calculating the exercise level by measuring the exercise status of the patient through the questionnaire. At this time, the questionnaire is outputted through the display 12 of the smart terminal 10 or the sound source output device 11, and the answer of the question item inputted through the input device 13 is inputted.

In addition, the service application 20 can adjust the steps of the walking exercise program and the like according to the results of the exercise evaluation calculated through the questionnaire.

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

Next, the exercise management server 30 receives the walking result data of the patient from the service application 20, and stores it in the database 40. [

The exercise management server 30 can provide a service of providing a patient's walking exercise result on the web or the like online so that the patient can confirm his / her walking exercise on-line.

Next, the wearable device 50 is a device worn by the patient, and includes a sensor for measuring the number of walks of the patient. That is, the walker can measure the walker number through the motion sensor 14 of the smart terminal 10 previously held by the patient. However, after wearing the wearable device 50 equipped with the walker number sensor for more accurate measurement, Can be measured.

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

Next, a walking motion management method for a mobile based on a metronome according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 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 FIG. 3, the metronome-based walking exercise management method for a mobile terminal according to the present invention includes the steps of: (a) calculating a walking guide speed and duration through a walking test of a patient; (b) (S20), (c) guiding the walking guide speed according to the set exercise level (S30), (d) measuring the state of the patient after the walking exercise, (S40), and (e) adjusting the exercise phase according to the result of the exercise level (S50). In addition, in addition, (f) may further include an iterative step (S60) of performing the gait examination step (S10) again if a certain date has elapsed or a target step has been reached.

First, a walking test is performed on the patient to calculate the walking guide speed and the sustainable time (or duration) of the walking exercise (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 the gait test for measuring the maximum walking speed and notifies the patient of the start of the gait test. Then, the service application 20 measures the walking count 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 walking test. When the reference time elapses, the user is guided to the end of the gait test.

Then, as shown in the following mathematical expression, the walking speed is calculated by dividing the walking number by the reference time.

[Equation 1]

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

Preferably, the reference time is preset to 6 minutes, and the number of walking for 6 minutes is measured to calculate the number of walks or the walking speed per hour. At this time, the walking test for calculating the walking speed is performed only for a short time, and the patient is guided to walk with all his strength as much as possible.

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

6A and 6B illustrate a screen for performing the gait test.

On the other hand, the walking test can be performed more than once to calculate the walking speed as an average value.

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

&Quot; (2) "

Here, _Tm is the maximum walking speed, and? Is a constant. Preferably, the constant alpha is set to 80% or 0.8.

Since the maximum walking speed is 200 steps / min, the walking guide speed is set to 160 steps / min which is 80% of the maximum walking speed.

Next, the maximum walking time that can be walked at the calculated walking guide speed is measured (14), and the duration is set as the maximum walking time (S15). At this time, preferably, after the gait test is performed, it is measured after the minimum rest time. Preferably, the minimum resting time is measured after 1 day.

Specifically, the service application 20 outputs the metronome or metronome sound source at the calculated walking guide speed T, and guides the patient to walk according to the metronome sound source output from the patient. At this time, guide the patient to walk as much as possible until he / she gets tired. Or the measurement is automatically terminated if the patient detects that he can not walk on Metronum. That is, the patient is allowed to walk as far as possible at the corresponding walking guide speed. At this time, the measured walking time is the maximum walking time, which is set as the duration of the walking motion.

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

Next, according to the result of the gait test, a motion phase by one exercise time of the walking motion is set (S20).

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

One exercise time and the exercise frequency are complementary to each other. That is, if the exercise time is small, the exercise program is set so that the total exercise time for one day is equal to or longer than the minimum exercise time. For example, if the patient is currently unable to continue exercising for more than 5 minutes because of poor health status, he / she sets the exercise time to 5 minutes per day instead of 6 times per day, Min or more.

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

Next, the walking exercise is guided according to the set exercise level (S30).

Specifically, the service app 20 outputs the metronome (or metronome sound source) of the walking guide speed for one exercise time according to the exercise phase. That is, when the patient commands the start of 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 an earphone jack, or the metronome is output to the screen.

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

The Borg scale consists of numbers from '0' to '10'. The most comfortable state is '0', the number increases with difficulty, and '10' indicates the most difficult state. After completing the exercise goals for the day, the patient selects a number and evaluates his or her exercise results. The screen for inputting the vogue scale is shown in Fig. 6D.

Alternatively, as another embodiment, the patient condition can be measured using a biological signal such as heart rate. When a patient attaches a bio-signal detection sensor (not shown), the bio-signal such as heart rate can be measured while the patient performs a walking exercise to estimate the state of the patient.

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

Specifically, the service application 20 sets an appropriate range of the exercise level in advance, decreases the exercise level by one level when the fitness level exceeds the appropriate range for a predetermined period, The exercise step is increased by one step. If it is within the proper range, it keeps the present stage.

In other words, a high level of exercise means that a walking exercise is burdensome to the patient, and excessive exercise may deteriorate the patient's disease. In addition, the level of exercise is too low, it may be necessary to increase the exercise level to a higher level because the effect of walking exercise may be small. In addition, if the patient continues to walk, the cardiopulmonary endurance is further strengthened by the exercise effect, so that the presently given exercise step can be facilitated. In such cases, exercise levels should be maintained to maintain adequate exercise levels.

Preferably, when the state in which the bog scale is less than the proper range continues for a predetermined period, the motion step is raised by one step. Further, if the bogg 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 appropriate range of the bog scale is set to 5-6.

In addition, even when the exercise level is measured using the bio-signal, the appropriate range of the bio-signal can be set, and if the bio-signal is outside the set appropriate range, the exercise level can be adjusted by raising or lowering the exercise level.

On the other hand, if the current exercise stage is the highest stage or the lowest stage, if the stage can not be raised or lowered further, the exercise stage is maintained in the current state and the final stage is determined in the next stage S60 .

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

That is, if the exercise phase does not complete the final phase, repeat the guide by the exercise program. And repeats the walking exercise according to the set exercise level.

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

When the goal of the final stage is completed, the walking test is again performed to set the walking guide speed again, and the exercise program is repeatedly performed.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
