Description: Diagnostic apparatus for neuromusculoskeletal system and method of using the same

The present invention relates to a diagnostic apparatus for a neuromusculoskeletal system and a method for using the same, and relates to a diagnostic apparatus for a neuromusculoskeletal system used for physiotherapy, procedural therapy, and sport conditioning, and a method for using the same. Background art

Conventionally, in physiotherapy, diagnosis of neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction is performed by a combination of posture observation, bone kinematic examination, joint kinematic examination, palpation, and the like.

However, such a diagnosis requires specialized knowledge and skill, and even an expert often has uncertainty in judgment.

Attempts to objectively evaluate the modulation of bodily functions by measuring skin electrical properties of specific parts of the body have long been made. Most of them are based on the concept of "Ryodokan" proposed by Yoshio Nakatani in 1950, and the electrical resistance to the DC voltage at the measurement point on the meridian or the impedance to the AC voltage Is measured, and the body function is evaluated (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-2255251).

However, since the above-mentioned method is greatly affected by the mental state (strain level) and the state of sweating, when measuring the physical function of a sports player or the like during a game, the credibility of the diagnosis result becomes low. There's a problem. Disclosure of the invention

An object of the present invention is to provide a neuromusculoskeletal diagnostic device capable of accurately and easily diagnosing an abnormal site of the neuromusculoskeletal system without requiring high specialized knowledge and skill, and a method of using the same. is there. The diagnostic apparatus for a neuromuscular skeletal system according to the present invention is provided with a substantially bilaterally symmetric position Corresponding means for indicating the correspondence between the distribution of the capacitance of the plurality of measurement sites at the rear position and the stressed region of the neuromuscular skeletal system, based on the measurement results of the capacitance at the plurality of measurement sites An operation processing means for selecting the stressed part from the corresponding means and determining the part as an abnormal part, and a display means for displaying a result determined by the operation processing means.

The capacitance between the negative electrode and the positive electrode for each measurement site is calculated, and the calculated capacitance is compared between the left, right, left and right or front and back measurement sites, and the comparison result is compared with the nerve. An arithmetic processing means for determining an abnormal part under stress based on a corresponding means for associating a part of the musculoskeletal system; a storage means storing the corresponding means; and a result determined by the arithmetic processing means. And a display unit that performs the following. According to the present invention, an abnormal site in the neuromuscular skeletal system can be easily diagnosed simply by performing an operation of measuring the capacitance of the measurement site, and thus does not require advanced technical knowledge or skill. In addition, since the diagnosis is made based on the capacitance of the human body, The effect of sweating is less than that based on a diagnosis based on the diagnosis, and the reliability of the diagnosis result is high. Moreover, according to the corresponding means used in the judgment, it is possible to judge an abnormal part (stressed part) by comparing the capacitance between the left and right and / or front and rear measurement parts, and to determine the credibility. High diagnostic results are obtained.

As described above, the diagnosis of the neuromuscular skeletal system, which was impossible with the conventional Ryodoraku theory, can be performed, and the above object is achieved. In the diagnostic apparatus for a neuromusculoskeletal system according to the present invention, the measurement sites include left and right oblique muscles (preferably middle oblique muscles), left and right lateral chest (preferably anterior saw muscle upper fibers), Of the tobacco fossa, left and right patella ligaments, left and right medial posterior (preferably posterior tibialis), anterior-posterior mid-chest (preferably mid-papillary) and mid-dorsal (preferably fifth thoracic vertebra) It is desirable to include at least one of them.

It has been clarified by the inventor that comparing left and right and Z or front and rear capacitances at each measurement site is effective in diagnosing almost all neuromusculoskeletal abnormalities in the human body. The abnormal operation is surely diagnosed by the measurement operation using these measurement sites.

In the diagnostic apparatus for a neuromuscular skeletal system of the present invention, the measurement site includes left and right oblique muscles (preferably middle oblique muscles), left and right lateral chest (preferably anterior saw muscle upper fiber), left and right muscles. Fistula, left and right patella ligament, left and right medial posterior malleolus (preferably posterior tibialis muscle), and the responding means can correspond to 32 types based on a comparison of the capacitance of all measurement sites.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[First embodiment]

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a diagnosis situation using the neuromusculoskeletal diagnostic device 10 according to the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is an overall perspective view showing the diagnostic device 10, and FIG. 3 is a diagnostic device 10. FIG. In FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, a diagnostic device 10 is a device for diagnosing a stressed part in the neuromuscular skeletal system based on the capacitance at a predetermined part of the subject A, and has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The apparatus includes an apparatus body 11, a pair of negative electrodes 12 and 12 connected to the apparatus body 11, and a positive electrode 13 also connected to the apparatus body 11.

The device body 11 includes a power switch 14 for starting the diagnostic device 10, a display screen 15 as a display means for displaying a screen for prompting measurement at the time of diagnosis, a screen of a diagnostic result after the measurement, and the like. Is provided. On the lower part of the display screen 15, there are a return button 16 to go back one step, a forward button 17 to go one step forward, a cancel button 18 to cancel the last measurement, and the whole measurement. A reset button 19 to cancel is provided, and any button 16 to 19 is selectively operated according to the measurement situation. The negative electrode 12 is attached near both wrists of the subject A. The negative electrode 12 is constructed by embedding a conductive metal electrode (not shown) in the adhesive pad 121 to prevent slippage. The electrode portion comes into contact with the skin of the subject. The positive electrode 13 has a configuration in which a conductive metal rod 13 1 is provided with an insulating section 13 2 for gripping by the operator B, and is applied to a measurement site described later by the operator B.

Before applying the plus electrode 13 to these measurement sites, a capture electrode may be attached. Auxiliary electrode made of conductive gel with silver oil applied it can. By using such an auxiliary electrode, the electrical connection to the skin at the measurement site can be improved, which is convenient for performing stable measurement. Since these auxiliary electrodes are attached to the joints as described later, they can be referred to as seki electrodes. On the other hand, the minus electrodes 12 mentioned above are attached to the non-joint parts near the wrists of subject A. Therefore, it can be called an indifferent electrode. As shown in FIG. 3, such a diagnostic apparatus 10 supplies a pulse potential (DC voltage) to the positive electrode 13 to apply it to the measurement site, and also applies a pulse potential (DC voltage) from the negative electrode 12 at that time. Pulse potential generator 21 for obtaining output, transient current measuring device 22 for measuring transient current from output from pulse potential generator 21, and AZD converter for converting transient current, which is analog output, to digital signal 23, and a data analysis device 24 as an arithmetic processing means of the present invention composed of an IC or the like.

The data analysis device 24 includes, in addition to the display screen 15 described above, the operation unit 25 including the buttons 16 to 19 described above, and data obtained by measurement (specifically, the capacitance value). Random access memory (RAM) 26 for storing and extracting the data, ROM (read only memory) as a storage means for storing various software for operating the diagnostic device 10 itself, and corresponding means described later. ) 27 is connected.

Then, the data analyzer 24 calculates the capacitance at each measurement unit from the transient current converted into the digital signal. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, when a pulse voltage V (for example, about 3 V) is applied to the measurement site, a transient current occurs in the measurement site. This transient current decreases with time (for example, about lms). The integrated value of this transient current (shaded area in the figure) indicates the charge Q accumulated at the measurement site. Here, the capacitance of the measurement site can be obtained as a value obtained by dividing the charge Q by the voltage V. The measurement site to which the positive electrode 13 is applied is shown in the display screen 15 of FIG. The left and right patellar ligaments J and I and the left and right medial posterior L and K are 5 to 10 places. These measurement sites C to L are sites closely related to diagnosing an abnormal site in the neuromusculoskeletal system, and are sites found by the present inventors as a result of earnest studies. In the data analyzer 24, the calculated value of the capacitance is compared between the left and right values for each of the measurement sites C to L (for example, the capacitance value of the right oblique muscle C and the oblique muscle The value is compared with the capacitance value on the left D) and stored in the RAM 26 in a predetermined permutation based on the comparison result.

Further, the data analyzer 24 extracts the smaller of the capacitances from the left and right measurement sites C to L stored in the RAM 26, and determines whether this is the left site or the right site. It is determined whether or not there is, and this determination result is compared with the corresponding means in ROM 27. Here, the correspondence means is stored in the ROM 27 as a correspondence list 30 in a map format schematically shown in FIG.

In the correspondence list 30, the measurement results at the measurement sites C to L are classified into 32 types consisting of all combinations of the smaller of the left and right capacitances. For example, when comparing the left and right, if the medial malleolar right K, oblique muscle left D, tobacco fossa left H, lateral thoracic right E, and patella ligament right I are small capacitance values, respectively, the data analyzer 2 4 determines that the diagnosis result is of type “5”.

—On the other hand, the correspondence list 30 shows that for each type, the part of the neuromusculoskeletal system where stress is present is known. In Fig. 5, the black parts are the parts where stress is applied. In other words, in the case of type 5 above, the neck, left shoulder, right forearm, right wrist, right lower leg, left ankle joint, right hip, right back, and left hip joint are stressed. The relationship between such a site and each type was also found by the present inventors as a result of earnest research.

As shown in FIG. 7, such a diagnosis result is displayed on the display screen 15 so that the stressed part can be identified. In the case of type 5 above, the neck M, left shoulder N, right forearm 0, right wrist P, right lower leg Q, left ankle R, right hip S, right back T, and left hip joint front U are displayed together with the human body image. ing. Hereinafter, a diagnostic procedure using the diagnostic device 10 will be described.

First, the operator ON turns on the power switch 14 provided in the apparatus main body 11 of the diagnostic apparatus 10. Then, the display screen 15 displays a screen that prompts the measurement of the capacitance using the electrodes 12 and 13. Operator B also assigns Attach the eggplant electrode 12 and apply the plus electrode 13 to the measuring units C to L in the order displayed on the display screen to start measuring the capacitance.

At this time, each time the measurement of the capacitance is completed, the color of the circle mark of the measurement site C to L changes, so that the measurement operation can be performed without mistake and without fail. . Then, every time the measurement of each part is completed, the operator B presses the forward button 17 to finish the measurement of the measurement parts C to L sequentially. If you take a measurement at the wrong position or restart the measurement, you can operate the return button 16 or the cancel button 18.

After finishing the measurement at the measurement sites C to L, when the forward button 17 is pressed, the data analysis device 24 judges the diagnosis result as described above, and as shown in FIG. Display on display screen 15.

After that, appropriate treatment such as massage, compress, spray, taping, etc. may be performed on the displayed abnormal site. According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

(1) The diagnostic device 10 can easily diagnose abnormalities in the neuromuscular skeletal system simply by performing capacitance measurement operations using the electrodes 12, 13 so that advanced expertise and expertise can be achieved. Anyone can easily diagnose without the need for training.

(2) In addition, since the diagnosis is made by calculating the capacitance of the subject A, the influence of sweating is less than that of the diagnosis based on the conventional electric resistance, and the sports athlete immediately after moving the body can be used. Even if a diagnosis is made, the reliability of the diagnosis result is high.

(3) According to the correspondence list 30 used for the determination, the abnormal part is determined by comparing the capacitance between the left and right measurement parts, so that a highly reliable diagnosis result is obtained. Can be

(4) The inventors have clarified that comparing the left and right capacitances at each of the measurement sites C to L is effective in diagnosing almost all abnormalities of the neuromusculoskeletal system of the human body. The abnormal operation can be reliably diagnosed by the measurement operation using these measurement sites.

(5) Furthermore, since the left and right capacitances are compared for all of the measurement sites C to L, the degree of stress can be diagnosed without omission, and the diagnosis of abnormal sites can be performed. The reliability can be significantly improved.

(6) In the diagnostic device 10, a screen prompting the measurement of the transient current is displayed on the display screen 15, so that the positive electrode 13 can be applied to the measurement sites C to L according to the display, and the measurement can be performed. Can be done quickly and accurately.

(7) Further, since the circle mark displayed together with the human body image changes color at the measured site, it is possible to effectively prevent the same site from being measured again, and the usability of the diagnostic apparatus 10 can be improved.

(8) In addition, the abnormal site revealed as a result of the diagnosis is also displayed on the display screen 15 in a display form considering the visibility together with the human body image, for example, the abnormal sites M to U shown in FIG. 7. Therefore, the diagnosis result can be accurately recognized, and can be effectively used for the subsequent treatment.

[Second embodiment]

In the diagnostic device 10 of the first embodiment, a DC pulse voltage is applied between the electrodes 12 and 13 to measure the transient current in order to calculate the capacitance. The method is not limited to this, and the capacitance may be calculated by using the shift (phase difference) of the current cycle when an AC voltage is applied.

Specifically, a diagnostic device 1OA shown in FIG. 8 can be employed.

The diagnostic device 1 OA has the same configuration as the diagnostic device 10 of the first embodiment, except that a sine wave generator 21 A is installed in place of the pulse potential generator 21 of the diagnostic device 10, The difference is that a synchronous detector 22 A is installed in place of the transient current measuring device 22.

The sine wave generator 21 A generates a sine wave AC voltage V having opposite phases between the electrodes 12 and 13. As the sine wave AC voltage, for example, a signal of about 1.5 V and about 20 KHz can be used.

A sine-wave AC current I flows between the electrodes to which the electrodes 12 and 13 are applied, but the sine-wave AC current I and the sine-wave AC voltage V A phase shift occurs between them. At this time, the portion between the measurement sites of the subject can be regarded as an equivalent circuit in which a capacitor and a resistor are connected in series, and the sine wave AC voltage V is the same phase as the sine wave AC current I Voltage between both ends) and positive It is a solid composite of Vc (voltage across the capacitor), which is 90 degrees out of phase with the sinusoidal alternating current I. Therefore, when Vc is detected by the synchronous detector 22A, the capacitance C of the capacitor can be derived from the relationship of I = C (dVc / dt).

Even with such a diagnostic apparatus 1OA, it is possible to easily diagnose an abnormal site of the neuromuscular skeletal system of the subject A, and to obtain the same effect as that of the first embodiment.

[Third embodiment]

Further, the electric capacitance of the skin may be estimated by measuring the dielectric constant of the skin surface without being limited to the DC pulse of the first embodiment and the sine wave phase difference of the second embodiment. In the measurement of permittivity, the accuracy is slightly lowered due to the influence of the sympathetic nerve excitability and the environmental humidity. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the correction.

Specifically, a diagnostic device 10B shown in FIG. 9 can be employed.

The diagnostic device 10B has the same configuration as the diagnostic device 10 of the first embodiment, except that a resonance circuit 21B is installed in place of the pulse potential generator 21 of the diagnostic device 1.0, and the transient current measuring device 22 The difference is that a frequency counter 22B is installed in place of, and a permittivity measuring electrode 13B is connected in place of the plus electrode 13 and the minus electrode 12.

The dielectric constant measurement electrode 13 B has a pair of electrodes 134 and 135 supported by a case 133. These electrodes 134 and 135 are separated from each other at a predetermined small interval (for example, 0.1 mm), and electrically function as capacitors. Each of the electrodes 134 and 135 is covered at its tip with a different insulating sheet 136, and is applied to the measurement site of the subject A via the insulating sheet 136. Electrodes 134 and 135 are connected to resonance circuit 21B by wiring in case 133.

The resonance circuit 21B is a resonance circuit using the electrodes 134 and 135 as capacitors. When the electrodes 134 and 135 are applied to the measurement site of the subject A, the capacitance of the capacitor composed of the electrodes 134 and 135 changes according to the difference in the dielectric constant of the skin surface. The resonance frequency of the resonance circuit 21B changes in accordance with the above-described change in capacitance. Will change.

The frequency counter 22B is connected to the resonance circuit 21B, and detects a change in the resonance frequency according to the above-described change in the capacitance. If this frequency can be detected, the dielectric constant of the skin can be calculated, and the capacitance of the measurement site can be calculated from the dielectric constant.

[Modification]

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but includes other configurations that can achieve the object of the present invention, and the following modifications are also included in the present invention. In other words, the measurement site to which the positive electrode 13 is applied is the left and right oblique muscles D and C, the left and right lateral chest F and E, the left and right tobacco fossae H and G, the left and right patella ligaments J and I, and the right and left posterior malleolus The L and K are 5 to 10 places, and the correspondence list 30 distinguishes them into 32 types consisting of all combinations of the smaller capacitance on the left and right, but the object of the present invention was achieved. To do so, the measurement sites to which the positive electrode 13 is applied are the right and left side chest, left and right tobacco fossils, right and left posterior malleolus, and the front and back and center of the chest and the center of the back.
