Description

基於腹部肌群機能之個人化腹式呼吸訓練評估方法與其系統Personalized abdominal breathing training evaluation method based on abdominal muscle function and its system

本發明係關於呼吸訓練評估的技術領域,尤指一種基於腹部肌群機能之個人化腹式呼吸訓練評估方法與其系統。The invention relates to the technical field of respiratory training evaluation, in particular to a personalized abdominal breathing training evaluation method and system based on abdominal muscle function.

胸式呼吸主要係包含肋骨(Rib)與胸肋肌群(Sternocostal muscles)的協調動作,造成胸腔(Thoracic cavity)及腹腔(Abdominal cavity)體積於呼吸過程中不同程度的擴張及收縮,形成腔室間之壓力差,而氣流得以順利進出肺臟(Lung)完成呼吸運動。Chest breathing mainly involves the coordinated action of Rib and Sternocostal muscles, causing the thoracic cavity and Abdominal cavity to expand and contract in different degrees during the breathing process, forming a chamber. The pressure difference between the two, and the airflow can smoothly enter and exit the lungs (Lung) to complete the breathing movement.

腹式呼吸係運用腹部肌群(Abdominal muscles)的協調動作,促使腹腔體積於呼吸過程中不同程度的擴張與收縮,間接地影響胸腔壓力變化,而氣流得以順利進出肺臟完成呼吸運動。一般而言,吸氣時為腹部凸起、吐氣腹部凹陷的表徵,且由於間接影響與腹腔位於胸腔之下方,因此,此呼吸方式易產生深長進氣量,能加強肺臟下 半部的換氣。The abdominal respiratory system uses the coordinated action of Abdominal muscles to promote the expansion and contraction of the abdominal cavity volume to different degrees during the breathing process, indirectly affecting the changes in the chest pressure, and the airflow can smoothly enter and exit the lungs to complete the respiratory movement. Generally speaking, when inhaling, it is a characteristic of abdominal abdomen and abdomen depression. Because the indirect influence and the abdominal cavity are located below the chest cavity, this breathing mode is easy to generate deep air intake and strengthen the lungs. Half of the ventilation.

以呼吸生理觀點,腹式呼吸具有低呼吸頻率、於單位呼吸次數下有較高進氣量、以及較少能量耗損等特性,因而腹式呼吸較胸式呼吸更有效率,成為復健、瑜珈、氣功等的重要的學習項目之一。From the perspective of respiratory physiology, abdominal breathing has the characteristics of low respiratory rate, high intake air volume per unit of breathing, and less energy consumption. Therefore, abdominal breathing is more efficient than chest breathing, becoming a rehabilitation and yoga. One of the important learning projects such as Qigong.

而混合式呼吸則包含胸式及腹式呼吸。Hybrid breathing includes chest and abdominal breathing.

以生理觀點而言,於臨床上,腹式呼吸可減緩呼吸疾病之症狀(如慢性阻塞性肺病、氣喘、肺氣腫)。呼吸道病患因為單位呼吸次數進氣量較低,導致換氣快,進而產生較差的呼吸效率,練習腹式呼吸可減少胸肋骨運動機會而緩解疾病症狀。同時,腹式呼吸易產生深長進氣量,越深層、越緩慢的呼吸,肺臟的肺泡才能得到好的擴張,肺泡不易塌陷,因此復健期及術後照護需依賴腹式呼吸。From a physiological point of view, abdominal breathing can slow down the symptoms of respiratory diseases (such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, emphysema). Respiratory patients have lower intake air volume due to lower respiratory rate, resulting in faster ventilation, which in turn results in poorer breathing efficiency. Exercise abdominal breathing can reduce the chance of chest rib movement and relieve the symptoms of the disease. At the same time, abdominal breathing is easy to produce deep air intake, the deeper and slower the breathing, the lung alveoli can be well expanded, the alveoli are not easy to collapse, so the rehabilitation and postoperative care depends on abdominal breathing.

針對胸部損傷的病患,原肋骨籠與胸肋肌群的協調動作在此病患條件下難進行,亦即是影響正常胸式呼吸運動,此時需協助病患練習腹式呼吸,以利氧氣供給。For patients with chest injury, the coordinated action of the original rib cage and the thoracic rib muscle group is difficult to perform under the condition of the patient, that is, it affects the normal chest breathing exercise. In this case, the patient needs to assist the patient to practice abdominal breathing to facilitate Oxygen supply.

於運動生理的觀點,腹式呼吸產生深長進氣量,能加強下半部肺臟的換氣,因此,可強化呼吸效益,促進體內供氧能力,強化人體運動能力。From the perspective of exercise physiology, abdominal breathing produces a deep intake of air, which can enhance the ventilation of the lower half of the lungs. Therefore, it can enhance the breathing efficiency, promote the body's oxygen supply capacity, and strengthen the body's exercise capacity.

以心理觀點而言,於臨床心理上,腹式呼吸可做為輔助心靈放鬆的技巧。許多心理治療(心理諮商)皆會搭配腹式呼吸以達更佳療效。由於緩慢呼吸可活化副交感神經,降低心跳速率,減緩焦慮感。同時,腹式呼吸可使腹部的各個臟器都感受到呼吸節奏的刺激,進而活化副交感 神經,使人們感到放鬆。副交感神經當中的迷走神經和許多胸腹腔的臟器(心臟、肺臟、消化道器官等)存在反饋關係,彼此能相互調節。From a psychological point of view, abdominal breathing can be used as a technique to assist the mind to relax in clinical psychology. Many psychotherapies (psychological counseling) will be combined with abdominal breathing for better results. Slow breathing can activate the parasympathetic nerves, lower the heart rate and slow down anxiety. At the same time, abdominal breathing can make the various organs of the abdomen feel the stimulation of the breathing rhythm, thereby activating the parasympathetic Nerves make people feel relaxed. The vagus nerve in the parasympathetic nerve and many organs in the chest and abdomen (heart, lung, digestive tract, etc.) have a feedback relationship and can mutually adjust each other.

常見腹式呼吸學習過程中需復健師、導師從旁協助,且只確保特定訓練環境下的學習成效,無保證使用者自行練習腹式呼吸的成效。In the common abdominal breathing learning process, the rehabilitation teacher and the tutor need to be assisted by the side, and only ensure the learning effect in a specific training environment, and there is no guarantee that the user can practice the abdominal breathing effect by himself.

腹部肌群由外層到內層分別為:腹直肌、腹內外斜肌、腹橫肌。最能影響呼吸的是腹橫肌,它是最內層腹壁肌肉,起端位置和橫隔膜相同,它的橫向肌纖維跟橫隔膜縱向肌纖維成直角交錯,因此腹部肌肉收縮迫使橫膈肌上移而造成體腔體積變動進而完成呼吸運動,即為腹式呼吸。The abdominal muscles from the outer layer to the inner layer are: rectus abdominis, internal and external oblique muscles, and transverse abdominis muscles. The most influential respiratory is the transverse abdominis muscle, which is the innermost abdominal wall muscle. The starting position is the same as that of the diaphragm. Its transverse muscle fibers are at right angles to the longitudinal muscle fibers of the diaphragm. Therefore, abdominal muscle contraction forces the diaphragm to move up. The volume of the body cavity changes to complete the respiratory movement, which is abdominal breathing.

有的習知技術利用體表電位感測器來量測心臟跳動的變化,然後,採用訊號處理技巧來濾出呼吸頻率訊號,如此,呼吸訊號為間接感測,只能討論胸腔影響心臟的過程,而無法確保腹式呼吸的正確性。又有的習知技術具有呼吸訓練介面,透過臨床基礎條件下來量測呼吸生理數據,然後再由專人告知使用者呼吸狀況,如此設計,無法讓使用者自行進行訓練並隨時自我檢測。同時,進行呼吸訓練或量測時,常需配戴面罩,造成使用者換氣困難且不適感。Some conventional techniques use a body surface potential sensor to measure changes in heart beats, and then use signal processing techniques to filter out respiratory frequency signals. Thus, the respiratory signal is indirect sensing and can only discuss the process of the chest affecting the heart. It is impossible to ensure the correctness of abdominal breathing. Some conventional techniques have a breathing training interface, which measures respiratory physiological data through clinical basic conditions, and then the user informs the user of the breathing condition. Thus, the user cannot be trained and self-tested at any time. At the same time, when performing breathing training or measurement, it is often necessary to wear a mask, which makes the user difficult to change and feel uncomfortable.

於中華民國發明專利第I392525號公告中,其提供一種腹式呼吸訓練裝置,產生並提供訓練波形給使用者,以引導使用者進行腹式呼吸法。然而其並未考量每個 使用者間腹部肌群之差異。因此習知腹式呼吸之訓練及評估之技術實仍有改善的空間。In the Announcement No. I392525 of the Republic of China, it provides a abdominal breathing training device that generates and provides a training waveform to the user to guide the user to the abdominal breathing method. However, it does not consider each The difference in abdominal muscles between users. Therefore, there is still room for improvement in the techniques of training and evaluation of abdominal breathing.

本發明之目的主要係在提供一基於腹部肌群機能之個人化腹式呼吸訓練評估方法與其系統,因此可藉由判斷執行等容積測驗時肌肉的強度,而可用於評估腹部肌肉機能,達到客觀的腹式呼吸(AB)學習成效評估,並考量每個使用者間腹部肌群之差異,而使訓練效果遠較習知技術佳。The object of the present invention is mainly to provide a personalized abdominal breathing training evaluation method and system based on abdominal muscle function, and therefore can be used to evaluate abdominal muscle function by judging the strength of muscles during performing an equal volume test, to achieve objective Abdominal Breathing (AB) learning effectiveness assessment, and consider the difference in abdominal muscles between each user, so that the training effect is far better than the well-known techniques.

Abdominal breathing benefits. In the technical content disclosed in the present invention, the user will represent a person who uses the personalized abdominal breathing training evaluation system 100 based on the abdominal muscle function to perform the abdominal breathing benefit evaluation in person.

如圖1所示,該系統100包括一第一感測單元110、一第二感測單元120、一資訊擷取單元130、一資料解構單元140、一評估分析單元150。As shown in FIG. 1 , the system 100 includes a first sensing unit 110 , a second sensing unit 120 , an information capturing unit 130 , a data deconstructing unit 140 , and an evaluation analyzing unit 150 .

該第一感測單元110鄰接於該使用者的一腹部,用以自該使用者量測該腹部呼吸所產生的腹部位移變化量以取得多個腹部呼吸訊號。The first sensing unit 110 is adjacent to an abdomen of the user for measuring a change in abdominal displacement generated by the abdominal breathing from the user to obtain a plurality of abdominal breathing signals.

該第二感測單元120鄰接於該使用者的一胸部,用以自該使用者量測該胸部呼吸所產生的胸部位移變化量以取得多個胸部呼吸訊號。The second sensing unit 120 is adjacent to a chest of the user for measuring a change in chest displacement generated by the chest breathing from the user to obtain a plurality of chest breathing signals.

該第一感測單元110與該第二感測單元120分別具有用以取得該使用者的該多個腹部呼吸訊號的一壓電元件(圖未示),且該資訊擷取單元130藉由整合所量測的該多個腹部呼吸訊號而產生該使用者腹部呼吸波形,該資訊擷取單元130藉由整合所量測的該多個胸部呼吸訊號而產生該使用者胸部呼吸波形。The first sensing unit 110 and the second sensing unit 120 respectively have a piezoelectric element (not shown) for acquiring the plurality of abdominal breathing signals of the user, and the information capturing unit 130 The plurality of abdominal breathing signals are measured to generate the abdominal breathing waveform of the user, and the information capturing unit 130 generates the chest breathing waveform of the user by integrating the measured plurality of chest breathing signals.

請參照圖1,基於腹部肌群機能之個人化腹式呼吸訓練評估系統100中有兩呼吸帶111、113。呼吸帶111、113用以在使用者的腰部及胸部安裝該第一感測單元110及該第二感測單元120,而該第一感測單元110鄰接於使用者的腹部,該第二感測單元120鄰接於使用者的胸部。然而,本發明不以此為限定於上述,在本發明之其他實施例中,只要整合式呼吸帶能使第一感測單元110依附在使用者腹部的附近、及第二感測單元120依附在使用者胸部的附近,兩呼吸帶111、113可被整合為單一呼吸帶。Referring to Figure 1, there are two breathing zones 111, 113 in the personalized abdominal breathing training evaluation system 100 based on abdominal muscle function. The breathing belts 111 and 113 are used to mount the first sensing unit 110 and the second sensing unit 120 on the waist and the chest of the user, and the first sensing unit 110 is adjacent to the user's abdomen. The measuring unit 120 is adjacent to the chest of the user. However, the present invention is not limited to the above. In other embodiments of the present invention, as long as the integrated breathing belt enables the first sensing unit 110 to be attached to the vicinity of the user's abdomen, and the second sensing unit 120 is attached In the vicinity of the user's chest, the two breathing bands 111, 113 can be integrated into a single breathing zone.

在本實施例中,該第一感測單元110耦接至呼吸帶111並自呼吸帶111得到一腹部參考點,以便量測使用者的腹部呼吸訊號。該第二感測單元120耦接至呼吸帶113並自呼吸帶113得到一胸部參考點,以便量測使用者的胸部呼吸訊號。In this embodiment, the first sensing unit 110 is coupled to the breathing belt 111 and obtains an abdominal reference point from the breathing belt 111 to measure the abdominal breathing signal of the user. The second sensing unit 120 is coupled to the breathing belt 113 and obtains a chest reference point from the breathing belt 113 to measure the chest breathing signal of the user.

在本發明的其他實施例中,可分別從依附/置於前腹部以及對應使用者的前腹部之對側的兩貼片而得到腹部參考點。接著,該第一感測單元110自兩貼片得到腹部參考點,以便量測使用者的腹部呼吸訊號。然而,使用者實際操作上較容易使用具有該第一感測單元110之呼吸帶111的實施方式。在一些實施例中,該第一感測單元110可和呼吸帶111連結在一起,但在其他實施例中,也可讓該第一感測單元110與呼吸帶111分開為獨立的元件。但當使用者要實施/進行腹式呼吸時,使用者可以讓該第一感測單元110依附於呼吸帶111上。如此,該第一感測單元110即可以量測使用者的腹部呼吸訊號。In other embodiments of the invention, the abdominal reference point can be obtained from two patches attached/placed on the front abdomen and opposite sides of the front abdomen of the user, respectively. Next, the first sensing unit 110 obtains an abdominal reference point from the two patches to measure the abdominal breathing signal of the user. However, it is easier for the user to actually use the embodiment of the breathing belt 111 having the first sensing unit 110. In some embodiments, the first sensing unit 110 can be coupled to the breathing belt 111, but in other embodiments, the first sensing unit 110 can be separated from the breathing belt 111 as a separate component. However, when the user wants to perform/perform abdominal breathing, the user can attach the first sensing unit 110 to the breathing belt 111. In this way, the first sensing unit 110 can measure the abdominal breathing signal of the user.

同上,該第二感測單元120可和呼吸帶113連結在一起,但在其他實施例中,也可讓該第二感測單元120與呼吸帶113分開為獨立的元件。但當使用者要實施/進行胸部呼吸時,使用者可以讓該第二感測單元120依附於呼吸帶113上。如此,該第二感測單元120即可以量測使用者的胸部呼吸訊號。As above, the second sensing unit 120 can be coupled to the breathing belt 113, but in other embodiments, the second sensing unit 120 can be separated from the breathing belt 113 as a separate component. However, when the user wants to perform/breast breathing, the user can attach the second sensing unit 120 to the breathing belt 113. In this way, the second sensing unit 120 can measure the chest breathing signal of the user.

該資訊擷取單元130電性耦接至該第一感測單元110與該第二感測單元120,用以根據所量測的該多個腹 部呼吸訊號而產生一使用者腹部呼吸波形,及根據所量測的該多個胸部呼吸訊號而產生一使用者胸部呼吸波形。The information capture unit 130 is electrically coupled to the first sensing unit 110 and the second sensing unit 120 for measuring the plurality of belly according to the measured The breathing signal generates a user's abdominal breathing waveform, and generates a user's chest breathing waveform according to the measured plurality of chest breathing signals.

當該資訊擷取單元130擷取該使用者腹部呼吸波形及該使用者胸部呼吸波形時,於該使用者腹部及胸部各綁一條呼吸帶,該使用者坐在椅子上使用腹式呼吸及等容積測驗,以擷取該使用者腹部呼吸波形及該使用者胸部呼吸波形。該第一感測單元110與該第二感測單元120係於該使用者使用一腹式呼吸及一等容積測驗時,擷取該多個胸部呼吸訊號及該多個腹部呼吸訊號。When the information capturing unit 130 captures the patient's abdominal breathing waveform and the user's chest breathing waveform, a breathing band is attached to the user's abdomen and chest, and the user sits on the chair and uses abdominal breathing and the like. A volume test to capture the abdominal breathing waveform of the user and the waveform of the user's chest breathing. The first sensing unit 110 and the second sensing unit 120 are configured to capture the plurality of chest breathing signals and the plurality of abdominal breathing signals when the user uses a abdominal breathing and an equal volume test.

等容積測驗係由K.Konno教授等人於1966年所提出,執行方式為於憋氣狀態下進行腹凹及腹凸動作。The isodometric test was proposed by Professor K. Konno et al. in 1966 and was performed in a hernia state with a concave and abdomen motion.

等容積測驗分為三階段過程,第一階段為自由呼吸,第二階段為深吸氣至閉氣,第三階段為等容積測驗呼吸,該使用者進行肚子凹、再肚子凸動作。The equal volume test is divided into three stages. The first stage is free breathing, the second stage is deep inhalation to closed air, and the third stage is equal volume test breathing. The user performs a concave and a tummy movement.

亦即,第一階段平靜呼吸(約30秒),第二階段深吸氣(約5秒)後並憋氣,第三階段在保持憋氣狀態下交替收縮及放鬆胸腹部肌群六次(共24秒),依序重複此流程5次。該使用者吸入適當的空氣量後,憋住氣,腹壁交替收縮及放鬆。當憋氣時,無空氣可進出肺臟,因而於此段期間之淨容積變化(net volume change)為零。腹部收縮將會造成相同的胸腔擴張,感測單元所測量之胸腹部訊號所構成之關係圖顯示胸壁及腹壁的位移變化量為負斜率關係,且為反向相位關係。That is, the first stage of calm breathing (about 30 seconds), the second stage of deep inhalation (about 5 seconds) and helium, the third stage of alternating contraction and relaxation of the chest and abdomen muscles six times (total 24 Seconds, repeat this process 5 times in sequence. After inhaling the appropriate amount of air, the user holds the gas and alternates and relaxes the abdominal wall. When helium, no air can enter and exit the lungs, so the net volume change during this period is zero. Abdominal contraction will result in the same thoracic cavity dilatation. The relationship diagram of the chest and abdomen signals measured by the sensing unit shows that the displacement of the chest wall and the abdominal wall has a negative slope relationship and is in a reverse phase relationship.

藉由分析使用者身上之呼吸帶內所嵌之感測 器感測到的由肌群運動收縮強度而產生的訊號(腹部呼吸訊號、胸部呼吸訊號),評估腹部肌肉群於測驗期間所耗損之能量,進而得知腹部肌群機能狀態,同時動態顯示試驗期間腹部肌群運動情況By analyzing the sensing embedded in the breathing zone of the user The signal generated by the contraction intensity of the muscle group (abdominal breathing signal, chest breathing signal), the energy consumed by the abdominal muscle group during the test, and the function state of the abdominal muscle group, and the dynamic display test Abdominal muscle movement during the period

感測單元所測量之胸腹部訊號所構成之關係圖係顯示胸壁及腹壁的位移變化量為負斜率關係,並且藉由此關係的形狀而能得知肌肉群進行此測驗期間所耗損之能量,因此利用此特性即可得知在零淨容積變化之下,個人腹部肌群的收縮及放鬆能力,以此能力做為後續評估訓練成效基準,確保評估效度。The relationship diagram of the chest and abdomen signals measured by the sensing unit shows that the displacement of the chest wall and the abdominal wall has a negative slope relationship, and the shape of the relationship can be used to know the energy consumed by the muscle group during the test. Therefore, using this feature, we can know the ability of the individual's abdominal muscles to contract and relax under zero net volume changes, and use this ability as a benchmark for subsequent evaluation of training effectiveness to ensure evaluation validity.

圖2A及圖2B係等容積測驗時胸腹部訊號所構成之關係圖。其橫軸為腹部訊號,縱軸為胸部訊號。如圖2A及圖2B所示,由於腹部收縮將會造成相同的胸腔擴張,感測單元所測量之胸腹部訊號所構成之關係圖,係為顯示胸壁及腹壁的位移變化量為負斜率關係,且為反向相位關係。圖2A表示肌群耗損最低能量執行等容積測驗,為最佳之肌群運動能力,圖2B表示肌群耗損較多能量執行等容積測驗,其肌群運動能力較圖2A差。2A and 2B are diagrams showing the relationship between the chest and abdomen signals during the isometric test. The horizontal axis is the abdominal signal and the vertical axis is the chest signal. As shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, since the abdominal contraction will cause the same chest cavity expansion, the relationship diagram of the chest and abdomen signals measured by the sensing unit is a negative slope relationship showing the displacement changes of the chest wall and the abdominal wall. And it is a reverse phase relationship. Fig. 2A shows that the lowest energy consumption of the muscle group performs an equal volume test, which is the best muscle group exercise ability, and Fig. 2B shows that the muscle group consumes more energy to perform an equal volume test, and the muscle group exercise ability is inferior to that of Fig. 2A.

The main respiratory components in the waveform to produce an abdominal signal and a chest signal, respectively.

該資料解構單元140係使用互補式經驗模態拆 解法(complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition,CEEMD),並依據該使用者腹部呼吸波形及使用者胸部呼吸波形的局部特徵時間尺度,將該使用者腹部呼吸波形及使用者胸部呼吸波形分解成多個內生性建模態函數(Intrinsic Mode Function,IMF),並萃取出該使用者腹部呼吸波形及使用者胸部呼吸波形中的主要呼吸成分,以分別產生該腹部訊號及該胸部訊號。The data deconstruction unit 140 uses a complementary empirical mode split Complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD), and according to the user's abdominal respiratory waveform and the local characteristic time scale of the user's chest respiratory waveform, the user's abdominal respiratory waveform and the user's chest respiratory waveform are decomposed into multiple endogenes An Intrinsic Mode Function (IMF) extracts the main respiratory component of the user's abdominal respiratory waveform and the user's chest respiratory waveform to generate the abdominal signal and the chest signal, respectively.

互補式經驗模態拆解法(CEEMD)係由元智大學葉家榮博士等人於2008年所提出(Complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition:a novel noise enhanced data analysis method,”2008)。其係基於經驗模態分解法(Empirical Mode Decomposition,EMD)原理而改良的,特點係利用白雜訊含有所有頻率尺度特性,且在總體平均後可消除此白雜訊,使拆解後更趨近於理想狀態。針對非線性及非穩定性之原始呼吸訊號,依據訊號的局部特徵時間尺度將訊號分解成多個內生性建模態函數(IMF)。The Complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition: a novel noise enhanced data analysis method (2008) is based on empirical modality (CEEMD). Improved by the principle of the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), the characteristics of the white noise contain all the frequency scale characteristics, and the white noise can be eliminated after the overall average, so that the disassembly is closer to the ideal state. The original and non-stable original breathing signals decompose the signal into multiple endogenous modeling state functions (IMFs) based on the local characteristic time scale of the signal.

互補式經驗模態拆解法(CEEMD)另外的重要特性是藉由正負雙向輔以白雜訊的方式,同時克服在原本EMD法常見的模態混合(Mode Mixing)困難以及EEMD在計算效率上的問題。Another important feature of the Complementary Empirical Mode Disassembly Method (CEEMD) is the way of positive and negative two-way supplementation with white noise, while overcoming the difficulty of mode mixing in the original EMD method and the computational efficiency of EEMD. The problem.

於模態混合(Mode Mixing)中,同一尺度訊號分布在數個內生性建模態函數(IMF)之中,或是表示一個內生性建模態函數(IMF)之中包含不同尺度的訊號。In Mode Mixing, the same scale signal is distributed among several endogenous modeling state functions (IMFs), or it represents an endogenous modeling state function (IMF) containing signals of different scales.

圖3係本發明一原始呼吸訊號分使用互補式經 驗模態拆解法(CEEMD)分解的示意圖。如圖3所示,該原始呼吸訊號係經由取樣頻率為50Hz、取樣時間為5分鐘的一腹式呼吸訊號,該原始呼吸訊號使用互補式經驗模態拆解法(CEEMD),分解成10個內生性建模態函數(IMF),並萃取出第6個內生性建模態函數(IMF)作為主要呼吸成分。Figure 3 is a schematic representation of the original respiratory signal of the present invention using complementary Schematic diagram of the decomposition of the modal decomposition method (CEEMD). As shown in FIG. 3, the original respiratory signal is a abdominal breathing signal with a sampling frequency of 50 Hz and a sampling time of 5 minutes. The original respiratory signal is decomposed into 10 using a complementary empirical mode disassembly method (CEEMD). An endogenous modeling state function (IMF), and extracted the sixth endogenous modeling state function (IMF) as the main respiratory component.

圖4係本發明等容積測驗時所獲取之原始胸腹部訊號經資料解構單元140產生腹部訊號及胸部訊號的示意圖。其係截取各階段等容積測驗期間的胸腹部訊號進行後續資料解構。如圖4所示,其係截取一段等容積測驗期間的胸腹部訊號,再經由互補式經驗模態拆解法(CEEMD),而分別產生該腹部訊號及該胸部訊號。其中,該腹部訊號係該使用者腹部呼吸波形所分解成該多個內生性建模態函數(IMF)的第6個內生性建模態函數(IMF),該胸部訊號係該使用者胸部呼吸波形所分解成該多個內生性建模態函數(IMF)的第6個內生性建模態函數(IMF)。經資料解構單元140所萃取出的主呼吸成分較佳位於該多個內生性建模態函數(IMF)的第6個內生性建模態函數(IMF)。4 is a schematic diagram showing the abdominal signal and the chest signal generated by the data deconstructing unit 140 by the original chest and abdomen signals obtained during the isodometric test of the present invention. It intercepts the chest and abdomen signals during the equal volume test at each stage for subsequent data deconstruction. As shown in FIG. 4, the chest and abdomen signals during an equal volume test are intercepted, and the abdominal signal and the chest signal are respectively generated by a complementary empirical mode disassembly method (CEEMD). The abdominal signal is decomposed into the sixth endogenous modeling state function (IMF) of the plurality of endogenous modeling state functions (IMF), and the chest signal is the chest breathing of the user. The waveform is decomposed into the sixth endogenous modeling state function (IMF) of the plurality of endogenous modeling state functions (IMFs). The primary respiratory component extracted by the data deconstruction unit 140 is preferably located at the sixth endogenous modeling state function (IMF) of the plurality of endogenous modeling state functions (IMFs).

該評估分析單元150電性耦接至該資料解構單元140,依據該腹部訊號及該胸部訊號,計算該腹部訊號及該胸部訊號之一相關係數、一1/2胸部訊號最大及最小擴張值、及一腹部訊號最大及最小值區間長度值,並依據該1/2胸部訊號最大及最小擴張值及該腹部訊號最大及最小值區間長度值,計算該使用者之腹部肌群於執行試驗所耗損之能量,而產生使用者腹部最大運動能力。The evaluation analysis unit 150 is electrically coupled to the data deconstruction unit 140, and calculates a correlation coefficient of the abdominal signal and the chest signal, a maximum and minimum expansion value of the 1/2 chest signal according to the abdominal signal and the chest signal, And the maximum and minimum interval length values of the abdominal signal, and calculating the wear and tear of the abdominal muscle group of the user according to the maximum and minimum expansion values of the 1/2 chest signal and the length values of the maximum and minimum intervals of the abdominal signal The energy that produces the maximum movement of the user's abdomen.

該相關係數用以顯示該等容積測驗執行正確程度。於等容積測驗時,腹部收縮將會造成相同的胸腔擴張,感測單元所測量之胸腹部訊號所構成之關係圖顯示胸壁及腹壁的位移變化量為負斜率關係,且為反向相位關係,如圖2A所示。故當使用者於等容積測驗執行正確時,該腹部訊號及該胸部訊號會呈現負相關,如圖2A所示。因此,當該相關係數位於[-1,-0.866]之間,表示該等容積測驗執行正確程度高,當該相關係數位於[-0.866,-0.5]之間,表示該等容積測驗執行正確程度中等,當該相關係數位於[-0.5,0]之間,表示該等容積測驗執行正確程度低。The correlation coefficient is used to show how accurate the volume test is performed. In the isometric test, abdominal contraction will cause the same thoracic cavity dilation. The relationship between the thoracic and abdominal signals measured by the sensing unit shows that the displacement of the chest wall and the abdominal wall is negatively sloped and in reverse phase relationship. As shown in Figure 2A. Therefore, when the user performs the correct volume test, the abdominal signal and the chest signal will have a negative correlation, as shown in FIG. 2A. Therefore, when the correlation coefficient is between [-1, -0.866], it indicates that the volumetric test is performed with a high degree of accuracy. When the correlation coefficient is between [-0.866, -0.5], it indicates that the volume test is performed correctly. Moderate, when the correlation coefficient is between [-0.5, 0], it indicates that the volumetric test is performed to a low degree of accuracy.

該評估分析單元150計算腹部肌群於執行試驗所耗損之能量,即可得知使用者腹部最大運動能力。其中,該所耗損之能量以一能量耗損指標(m/s)表示。The evaluation analysis unit 150 calculates the energy consumed by the abdominal muscle group in performing the test, and the maximum exercise capacity of the user's abdomen can be known. The energy consumed by the energy consumption is expressed by an energy consumption index (m/s).

圖5係本發明能量耗損指標(m/s)之示意圖。如圖5所示,其係以胸部訊號為縱軸,腹部訊號為橫軸,m為1/2胸部訊號最大及最小擴張、且平行於x軸之處的長度,s為腹部訊號最大及最小值區間長度。該能量耗損指標(m/s)為該1/2胸部訊號最大及最小擴張值(m)除以該腹部訊號最大及最小值區間長度值(s)。Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the energy consumption index (m/s) of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 5, the chest signal is the vertical axis, the abdominal signal is the horizontal axis, m is 1/2 the maximum and minimum expansion of the chest signal, and the length parallel to the x-axis, s is the maximum and minimum abdominal signal. The length of the value interval. The energy consumption index (m/s) is the maximum and minimum expansion value (m) of the 1/2 chest signal divided by the maximum and minimum interval length values (s) of the abdominal signal.

能量耗損指標(m/s)值愈大,表示執行等容積測驗期間所耗損的能量愈大腹部肌群最大運動能力較差。圖6及圖7係本發明實際量測之能量耗損指標(m/s)之示意圖。如圖6所示,其呈現一斜率為負的直線,亦即其m為0,因此其能量耗損指標(m/s)為0,此係最佳情況。如圖7所 示,其呈現一圓形,亦即其m相當於s,因此其能量耗損指標(m/s)為1,此係最差情況。The larger the energy loss index (m/s) value, the greater the energy lost during the execution of the isovolume test, and the greater the abdominal muscle group's maximum exercise capacity. 6 and 7 are schematic diagrams showing the energy consumption index (m/s) of the actual measurement of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 6, it presents a straight line with a negative slope, that is, its m is 0, so its energy consumption index (m/s) is 0, which is the best case. As shown in Figure 7 It shows that it presents a circle, that is, its m is equivalent to s, so its energy consumption index (m/s) is 1, which is the worst case.

圖8及圖9係係依實際量測之能量耗損指標(m/s)之示意圖。圖8的m為0.000474,s為0.003334,其能量耗損指標(m/s)為0.1421。圖9的m為0.000116,s為0.002283,其能量耗損指標(m/s)為0.0507。由能量耗損指標(m/s)可知,圖9的使用者具有較佳之腹部肌群運動能力。Figures 8 and 9 are schematic diagrams of energy consumption indicators (m/s) measured by actual measurements. The m of Fig. 8 is 0.000474, the s is 0.003334, and the energy consumption index (m/s) is 0.1421. The m of Fig. 9 is 0.000116, the s is 0.002283, and the energy consumption index (m/s) is 0.0507. From the energy consumption index (m/s), the user of Fig. 9 has a better abdominal muscle group exercise ability.
