Description

Sensory stimulation aid

The invention relates to a sensory stimulation assisting device, in particular to a device that can be worn and vibrates with sound, and at the same time controls the color or flicker of a light-emitting element according to the sound.

With the increase of the elderly, Taiwan has gradually entered into an aging society. With the advent of the aging society, the problems caused by aging have become more and more important in recent years. In particular, people have paid more and more attention to healthy living, making "aging" Issues also seem particularly important. Everyone in the world is old, and biologists basically agree that the aging process begins from birth.

Aged people often change their physical functions due to aging, especially the disability caused by the decline, which often affects psychological and social adaptation. The aging of the body functions of the silver-haired people is mainly the most obvious changes in breathing, digestion, urinary, cardiovascular, endocrine, musculoskeletal and sensory perception systems. The two major systems, the musculoskeletal system and the sensory perception system, will directly affect the daily life, actual behavior, and ability and range of activities of the silver-haired, and will also directly affect the ability of the silver-haired to receive external messages and reactions.

Therefore, science, medicine and the industry are competing to design a variety of sensory stimulation training and treatment devices or methods, and sensory stimulation training uses devices, instruments, room layouts, etc. to allow users to experience vision, hearing, touch, smell, etc. to stimulate the senses Effect. With the development of technology, various sensory stimulation treatments have been confirmed to have obvious benefits for the cognitive ability of the silver-haired, and can improve the problematic behavior and anxiety of the silver-haired, as well as enhance the ability of independence. The main stimulation method is to enhance the sensory response of the silver-haired by stimulating hearing, sight, touch and movement. And maintain the sensitivity of the silver-haired, promote the interaction between the silver-haired and the external environment, and provide opportunities to express emotions and communicate. The more common stimulus is usually the use of sounds such as music, including the combination of tone, music speed, rhythm, and music amplitude. Clinical studies have found that music can improve psychological problems such as anxiety, tension, depression, etc. Increasing memory, relaxing muscles, lowering blood pressure, relieving heartbeat, stabilizing breathing rate, and reducing pain are a safe, effective, and less aggressive stimulation method. Before using music stimulation, you must first evaluate the user's personal information and background, the degree of acceptance of the music type, the history of the disease, the appropriate device and the appropriate environment, according to the user's needs. It is also necessary to consider the choice of sound type, such as the frequency and amplitude, and try to avoid using too high decibels to avoid damaging the user's senses. The old songs in the sound type are usually the most popular among the silver-haired. It can also be used in conjunction with other suitable stimuli, such as light to stimulate vision, improve response sensitivity or do aerobic exercise. By exercising, the silver-haired family can activate body functions and promote blood circulation.

Following the above, the sensory stimulation training devices or methods designed by science, medicine, and industry usually use devices, instruments, and room layouts. For example, security institutions use different rooms to configure visual, listening, and touch stimulation equipment to form A relaxed and non-threatening environment; in this environment, users can experience different sensory stimuli, and relatively reduce their tension and stress, allowing them to explore freely; but the equipment used in the room as the main body is too large and expensive, and if It is a silver-haired family who cares at home, it is difficult to install the device in the home, which is inconvenient; therefore, the sensory stimulation training device needs a device that can be light and portable and can synchronize the sound and light stimulation as described above. .
