Description
本發明是有關於一種量測方法及應用其之肌力計,且特別是有關於一種用以決定肢體於量測時之接觸狀態的量測方法及應用其之肌力計。The present invention relates to a measuring method and a muscle force meter using the same, and particularly relates to a measuring method for determining a contact state of a limb during measurement and a muscle force meter using the same.
肌力計係可量測使用者之肢體的肌力大小,以提供中風或是肌力受損的病人參考的依據。一般來說,肌力計係透過受測者之肢體接觸且施力在肌力計上,以取得肢體的肌力大小。然而,肢體的肌力的量測過程係為動態,且肢體係為不規則的表面,使得肢體與肌力計接觸的狀態並無法確實的掌握。如此一來,肌力計所測得之肌力大小可能缺乏準確性而無法供使用者參考。因此,如何提供一種可增加量測準確性的肌力計,乃為相關業者努力之課題之一。The dynamometer measures the muscle strength of the user's limbs to provide a basis for reference to patients with impaired or impaired muscle strength. In general, the dynamometer is in contact with the subject's limbs and exerts force on the dynamometer to obtain the muscle strength of the limb. However, the measurement process of the muscle strength of the limb is dynamic, and the limb system is an irregular surface, so that the state in which the limb is in contact with the muscle strength meter cannot be surely grasped. As a result, the muscle strength measured by the dynamometer may be inaccurate and cannot be used by the user. Therefore, how to provide a muscle strength meter that can increase the accuracy of measurement is one of the subjects of the related industry.
本發明主要係提供一種量測方法及應用其之肌力計,其可決定出肢體在量測時的接觸狀態,以供使用者參考。The invention mainly provides a measuring method and a muscle force meter applying the same, which can determine the contact state of the limb during measurement for reference by the user.
根據本發明,提出一種量測方法,用以決定一肢體接觸一肌力計之一感測面的狀態。量測方法包括以下之步驟。根據肢體於一量測時段接觸感測面時的面積,產生一電容值。接著,判斷電容值是否大於一第一瞬時閥值。然後,當電容值大於第一瞬時閥值時,決定肢體於量測時段係處於一瞬時接觸狀態。當電容值不大於第一瞬時閥值時,決定肢體於量測時段係處於一瞬時非接觸狀態。According to the present invention, a measuring method is proposed for determining the state of a limb touching a sensing surface of a muscle force meter. The measurement method includes the following steps. A capacitance value is generated according to the area when the limb contacts the sensing surface during a measurement period. Next, it is determined whether the capacitance value is greater than a first instantaneous threshold. Then, when the capacitance value is greater than the first instantaneous threshold, it is determined that the limb is in a transient contact state during the measurement period. When the capacitance value is not greater than the first instantaneous threshold, it is determined that the limb is in a transient non-contact state during the measurement period.
根據本發明,再提出一種肌力計,包括一殼體、一荷重元、一感測板、一計時器、一量測電路及一處理器。荷重元配置於殼體內。感測板與荷重元相隔一間距,且具有一感測面。計時器用以提供一量測時段。量測電路電性耦接於荷重元及感測板,用以根據一肢體於量測時段接觸感測面時的面積,產生一電容值。處理器電性耦接於量測電路,用以判斷電容值是否大於一第一瞬時閥值。當電容值大於第一瞬時閥值時,處理器決定肢體於量測時段係處於一瞬時接觸狀態。當電容值不大於第一瞬時閥值時,處理器決定肢體於量測時段係處於一瞬時非接觸狀態。According to the present invention, a muscle strength meter is further provided, comprising a casing, a load cell, a sensing plate, a timer, a measuring circuit and a processor. The load cell is disposed in the housing. The sensing plate is spaced apart from the load cell and has a sensing surface. The timer is used to provide a measurement period. The measuring circuit is electrically coupled to the load cell and the sensing plate for generating a capacitance value according to an area when a limb contacts the sensing surface during the measuring period. The processor is electrically coupled to the measuring circuit for determining whether the capacitance value is greater than a first instantaneous threshold. When the capacitance value is greater than the first instantaneous threshold, the processor determines that the limb is in a transient contact state during the measurement period. When the capacitance value is not greater than the first instantaneous threshold, the processor determines that the limb is in an instantaneous non-contact state during the measurement period.
為讓本發明之上述內容能更明顯易懂,下文特舉較佳實施例,並配合所附圖式,作詳細說明如下:In order to make the above-mentioned contents of the present invention more comprehensible, the preferred embodiments are described below, and the detailed description is as follows:
以下係舉出幾組實施例,配合圖式詳細說明本發明之量測方法及應用其之肌力計。然而,熟悉此技藝者當可明瞭,此些圖式與文字僅為說明之用,並不會對本發明之欲保護範圍造成限縮。Hereinafter, several sets of embodiments will be described, and the measurement method of the present invention and the muscle force meter using the same will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that such drawings and text are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
請參照第1圖與第2A~2C圖,第1圖繪示根據本發明第一實施例之量測方法的流程圖,第2A圖繪示根據本發明第一實施例之對應於肢體接觸肌力計而產生之頻率與時間的關係圖,第2B圖繪示由第2A圖中之頻率換算出之電容值與時間的關係圖,以及第2C圖繪示經由第1圖中之量測方法及第2B圖中之電容值所決定之狀態與時間的關係圖。Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C. FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a measuring method according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2A is a view corresponding to a limb contact muscle according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2B shows the relationship between the capacitance value converted from the frequency in Figure 2A and time, and Figure 2C shows the measurement method in Figure 1. And the relationship between the state determined by the capacitance value in Fig. 2B and time.
於本實施例中,量測方法係以決定肢體在量測時段Tn接觸肌力計之感測面的狀態,且電容值的大小係以其所對應的頻率來決定作為例子說明。此技術領域中具有通常知識者應明瞭,取得電容值之方式並不以此處之例子為限。量測方法包括以下之步驟。In the present embodiment, the measurement method determines the state in which the limb contacts the sensing surface of the muscle force meter during the measurement period Tn, and the magnitude of the capacitance value is determined by the frequency corresponding thereto as an example. It should be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the manner in which the capacitance value is obtained is not limited to the examples herein. The measurement method includes the following steps.
於步驟S101中,根據肢體於量測時段Ti~Tn接觸感測面的面積,產生數個電容值。一般來說,在肢體未接觸肌力計的感測面之前,肌力計本身係具有一寄生電容值。因此,步驟S101中產生的電容值係為感測面經由肢體與接地面之間的電容值,以及寄生電容值的總和。本實施例例如是透過取得頻率,且頻率與電容值呈反比的關係來得知電容值的大小。當取得的頻率越大時,對應於頻率的電容值越小。當取得的頻率越小時,對應於頻率的電容值越大。此處假設步驟S101中產生的數個電容值係對應於第2A圖中的頻率fi~fn。藉由量測出頻率fi~fn,對應之電容值Ci~Cn係可取得,如第2B圖所示。In step S101, a plurality of capacitance values are generated according to the area of the limb in the measurement period Ti~Tn contacting the sensing surface. In general, the muscle strength meter itself has a parasitic capacitance value before the limb is in contact with the sensing surface of the muscle force meter. Therefore, the capacitance value generated in step S101 is the sum of the capacitance value between the sensing surface via the limb and the ground plane, and the parasitic capacitance value. In this embodiment, for example, the magnitude of the capacitance value is obtained by taking the frequency and the frequency is inversely proportional to the capacitance value. When the frequency obtained is larger, the capacitance value corresponding to the frequency is smaller. The smaller the frequency obtained, the larger the capacitance value corresponding to the frequency. Here, it is assumed that the plurality of capacitance values generated in step S101 correspond to the frequencies fi to fn in FIG. 2A. By measuring the frequency fi~fn, the corresponding capacitance value Ci~Cn can be obtained, as shown in Fig. 2B.
接著,於步驟S103中,判斷對應於量測時段Tn的電容值Cn是否大於第一瞬時閥值V1。較佳地,第一瞬時閥值V1為一電容值移動平均減去一第一預設瞬時閥值的差值。電容值移動平均係為早於進行判斷之量測時段Tn之此些量測時段Ti~Tn-1所對應的電容值Ci~Cn-1的平均值。如此一來,藉由電容值移動平均的應用,外在干擾對於判斷結果的影響係可減少。Next, in step S103, it is determined whether the capacitance value Cn corresponding to the measurement period Tn is greater than the first instantaneous threshold value V1. Preferably, the first instantaneous threshold value V1 is a difference between a capacitance value moving average minus a first preset instantaneous threshold value. The moving value of the capacitance value is an average value of the capacitance values Ci~Cn-1 corresponding to the measurement periods Ti~Tn-1 of the measurement period Tn before the determination. As a result, the influence of external interference on the judgment result can be reduced by the application of the moving average of the capacitance value.
當電容值Cn不大於第一瞬時閥值V1時,係接著執行步驟S105a,以決定肢體於量測時段Tn係處於瞬時非接觸狀態S1。當電容值Cn大於第一瞬時閥值V1時,係接著執行步驟S105b,以決定肢體於量測時段Tn係處於瞬時接觸狀態S2。於本實施例中,電容值Cn大於第一瞬時閥值V1,因此,肢體於量測時段Tn係處於瞬時接觸狀態S2,如第2C圖所示。When the capacitance value Cn is not greater than the first instantaneous threshold value V1, step S105a is subsequently performed to determine that the limb is in the instantaneous non-contact state S1 during the measurement period Tn. When the capacitance value Cn is greater than the first instantaneous threshold value V1, step S105b is subsequently performed to determine that the limb is in the transient contact state S2 during the measurement period Tn. In the present embodiment, the capacitance value Cn is greater than the first instantaneous threshold value V1. Therefore, the limb is in the instantaneous contact state S2 during the measurement period Tn, as shown in FIG. 2C.
為了對肢體處於瞬時接觸狀態S2時的情況再作進一步的瞭解,本實施例的瞬時接觸狀態S2可包括瞬時不良接觸狀態S21及瞬時良好接觸狀態S22。當決定出肢體於量測時段Tn係處於瞬時接觸狀態S2(步驟S105b)時,係接著執行步驟S107,以判斷電容值Cn是否大於第二瞬時閥值V2。較佳地,第二瞬時閥值V2為電容值移動平均(電容值Ci~Cn-1的平均值)減去第二預設瞬時閥值的差值。In order to further understand the situation when the limb is in the transient contact state S2, the instantaneous contact state S2 of the present embodiment may include the transient poor contact state S21 and the instantaneous good contact state S22. When it is determined that the limb is in the instantaneous contact state S2 in the measurement period S2 (step S105b), step S107 is next performed to determine whether the capacitance value Cn is greater than the second instantaneous threshold value V2. Preferably, the second instantaneous threshold value V2 is a difference between the capacitance value moving average (the average value of the capacitance values Ci~Cn-1) minus the second preset instantaneous threshold value.
當電容值Cn不大於第二瞬時閥值V2時,係執行步驟S109a,以決定肢體於量測時段Tn係處於瞬時不良接觸狀態S21。當電容值Cn大於第二瞬時閥值V2時,係執行步驟S109b,以決定肢體於量測時段Tn係處於瞬時良好接觸狀態S22。When the capacitance value Cn is not greater than the second instantaneous threshold value V2, step S109a is performed to determine that the limb is in the transient poor contact state S21 during the measurement period Tn. When the capacitance value Cn is greater than the second instantaneous threshold value V2, step S109b is performed to determine that the limb is in the instantaneous good contact state S22 during the measurement period Tn.
於本實施例中,由於電容值Cn係大於第二瞬時閥值V2,因此,肢體於量測時段Tn係處於瞬時良好接觸狀態S22,如第2C圖所示。如此一來,使用者可藉由判斷之結果瞭解肢體在量測時段Tn所進行的肌力量測的可信度高。In the present embodiment, since the capacitance value Cn is greater than the second instantaneous threshold value V2, the limb is in the instantaneous good contact state S22 in the measurement period Tn, as shown in FIG. 2C. In this way, the user can know the reliability of the muscle strength measurement performed by the limb during the measurement period Tn by the result of the judgment.
請參照第3A圖及第3B圖,第3A圖繪示根據本發明一較佳實施例之肌力計的示意圖,且第3B圖繪示第3A圖中之肌力計的方塊圖。本實施例係以使用者利用第3A圖及第3B圖中的肌力計300進行肌力量測來作說明。Please refer to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B .

The load cell 320 is disposed within the housing 310. The sensing plate 330 is spaced apart from the load cell 320 by a distance d and has a sensing surface 330s. The timer 340 is used to provide several measurement periods. In the present embodiment, the timer 340 is, for example, interrupted every other measurement period when the user starts to measure the muscle strength using the muscle strength meter 300 to provide a measurement period. The measurement circuit 350 is electrically coupled to the load cell 320 and the sensing plate 330. The processor 360 is electrically coupled to the measurement circuit 350.
本實施例之感測板330例如是包括金屬板331及絕緣墊332。絕緣墊332配置於金屬板331上,且露出於殼體310外。絕緣墊332用以與肢體接觸,使得肢體係經由絕緣墊332接觸感測面330s。另外,較佳地,肌力計300可更包括絕緣體380配置於感測板330及荷重元320之間,也就是間距d處,以提高電容值來增加量測上的準確性。The sensing plate 330 of the present embodiment includes, for example, a metal plate 331 and an insulating pad 332. The insulating pad 332 is disposed on the metal plate 331 and exposed outside the casing 310. The insulating pad 332 is for contacting the limb such that the limb system contacts the sensing surface 330s via the insulating pad 332. In addition, preferably, the muscle strength meter 300 may further include an insulator 380 disposed between the sensing plate 330 and the load cell 320, that is, at the spacing d, to increase the capacitance value to increase the accuracy in the measurement.
本實施例的肌力計300係應用第4圖中之量測方法來決定肢體接觸感測面330s的狀態。請更參照第4圖,其繪示根據本發明第二實施例之量測方法的流程圖。The muscle strength meter 300 of the present embodiment determines the state of the limb contact sensing surface 330s by applying the measuring method in FIG. Referring to FIG. 4, a flow chart of a measurement method according to a second embodiment of the present invention is shown.
於步驟S401中,處理器360係判斷計時器340是否中斷。當處理器360判斷出計時器340係中斷時,執行步驟S403。當處理器360判斷出計時器340未中斷時,重複執行步驟S401。In step S401, the processor 360 determines whether the timer 340 is interrupted. When the processor 360 determines that the timer 340 is interrupted, step S403 is performed. When the processor 360 determines that the timer 340 is not interrupted, step S401 is repeatedly executed.
於本實施例中,步驟S403係包括第1圖中之步驟S101~S109b。步驟S101係由量測電路350執行,以例如是藉由取得頻率的方式來產生對應的電容值。另外,步驟103~109b係由處理器360執行,以決定出肢體在量測時段係處於瞬時非接觸狀態S1、瞬時不良接觸狀態S21或瞬時良好接觸狀態S22。In the present embodiment, step S403 includes steps S101 to S109b in FIG. 1. Step S101 is performed by the measurement circuit 350 to generate a corresponding capacitance value, for example, by taking a frequency. In addition, steps 103-109b are performed by the processor 360 to determine that the limb is in the instantaneous non-contact state S1, the transient bad contact state S21, or the instantaneous good contact state S22 during the measurement period.
接著,於步驟S405中,處理器360係判斷肌力量測是否完成。當肌力量測完成時,執行步驟S407。當肌力量測未完成時,重複執行步驟S401。Next, in step S405, the processor 360 determines whether the muscle strength measurement is completed. When the muscle strength measurement is completed, step S407 is performed. When the muscle strength measurement is not completed, step S401 is repeatedly performed.
一般來說,透過肌力計量測肌力之時間約為3~4秒。在量測肌力的這段時間中,步驟S401~步驟S405係反覆地進行,直到肌力量測完成。此處係以進行肌力量測之3~4秒係包括第5A圖中之量測時段Ti~Tn+2為例。如此一來,於步驟S403中,量測電路350係藉由取得對應於量測時段Ti~Tn+2之頻率fi~fn+2來產生數個電容值Ci~Cn+2(如第5B圖所示),且處理器360決定出肢體於量測時段Ti~Tn+2接觸感測面330s之狀態係如第5C圖所示。In general, the time to measure muscle strength through muscle strength is about 3 to 4 seconds. During the period in which the muscle strength is measured, steps S401 to S405 are repeated until the muscle strength measurement is completed. Here, the 3 to 4 seconds of performing the muscle strength measurement includes the measurement period Ti~Tn+2 in the 5A diagram as an example. In this way, in step S403, the measurement circuit 350 generates a plurality of capacitance values Ci~Cn+2 by taking the frequency fi~fn+2 corresponding to the measurement period Ti~Tn+2 (as shown in FIG. 5B). As shown in FIG. 5C, the processor 360 determines the state of the limb in the measurement period Ti~Tn+2 contact sensing surface 330s.
接著,於步驟S407中,處理器360係進行總體接觸狀態之判斷。請參照第6圖,其繪示第4圖中進行總體接觸狀態之判斷之步驟的流程圖。步驟S407係包括步驟S601~S607b。Next, in step S407, the processor 360 determines the overall contact state. Please refer to FIG. 6 , which is a flow chart showing the steps of determining the overall contact state in FIG. 4 . Step S407 includes steps S601 to S607b.
於步驟S601中,處理器360判斷肢體於此些量測時段Ti~Tn+2處於瞬時非接觸狀態S1的次數是否大於第一總體預設閥值。當次數大於第一總體預設閥值時,係執行步驟S603a,以由處理器360決定肢體於此些量測時段Ti~Tn+2係處於總體非接觸狀態。當次數不大於第一總體預設閥值時,係執行步驟S603b,以由處理器360決定出肢體於此些量測時段Ti~Tn+2係處於總體接觸狀態。In step S601, the processor 360 determines whether the number of times the limb is in the instantaneous non-contact state S1 during the measurement period Ti~Tn+2 is greater than the first overall preset threshold. When the number of times is greater than the first overall preset threshold, step S603a is performed to determine by the processor 360 that the limbs are in an overall non-contact state for the measurement periods Ti~Tn+2. When the number of times is not greater than the first overall preset threshold, step S603b is performed to determine by the processor 360 that the limbs are in the overall contact state for the measurement periods Ti~Tn+2.
較佳地,為了進一步對肢體處於總體接觸狀態時的情況再作進一步的瞭解,本實施例之總體接觸狀態可包括總體量測成功狀態及總體量測失敗狀態。當肢體於此些量測時段Ti~Tn+2係處於總體接觸狀態(S603b)時,係接著執行步驟S605,以由處理器360判斷此些瞬時非接觸狀態S1及此些瞬時不良接觸狀態S21之總次數是否大於第二總體預設閥值。Preferably, in order to further understand the situation when the limb is in the overall contact state, the overall contact state of the embodiment may include an overall measurement success state and an overall measurement failure state. When the limbs are in the overall contact state (S603b) during the measurement period Ti~Tn+2, step S605 is performed to determine the instantaneous non-contact state S1 and the transient contact state S21 by the processor 360. Whether the total number of times is greater than the second overall preset threshold.
當總次數大於第二總體預設閥值時,係執行步驟S607a,以由處理器360決定肢體於此些量測時段Ti~Tn+2係處於總體量測失敗狀態。當總次數不大於第二總體預設閥值時,係由處理器360執行步驟S607b,以決定肢體於此些量測時段Ti~Tn+2係處於總體量測成功狀態。When the total number of times is greater than the second overall preset threshold, step S607a is performed to determine by the processor 360 that the limbs are in the overall measurement failure state for the measurement periods Ti~Tn+2. When the total number of times is not greater than the second overall preset threshold, the processor 360 performs step S607b to determine that the limbs are in the overall measurement success state for the measurement periods Ti~Tn+2.
經由上述之步驟,肢體在量測時段Ti~Tn+2接觸肌力計300之感測面330s之狀態係可得知。進一步來說,肌力計300(如第3A圖及第3B圖所示)例如可更包括顯示器390,用以顯示處理器360決定之肢體接觸感測面330s的狀態,以供使用者參考。Through the above steps, the state in which the limb contacts the sensing surface 330s of the muscle strength meter 300 during the measurement period Ti~Tn+2 is known.
