Development of Self Training Device for Lung Function Compliance Guided by Meridians / 中国医疗器械杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To develop a self deep breathing training device which can improve lung function compliance and blood oxygen saturation.@*METHODS@#The device consists of four parts:flow tube, measuring cylinder, mobile phone holder and meridian guidance audio-visual synthesis training software. The flow tube measures the flow rate of inhaled gas, the metering cylinder measures the total amount of inhaled gas, and the mobile phone rack is equipped with a mobile phone storing the meridian guidance audio-visual synthesis training software.@*RESULTS@#The device is reasonable in structure and flexible in operation, which can meet the requirements of self deep inspiration training under the guidance of training module.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Deep inspiration training under the guidance of guidance training module can form "deep and slow" abdominal breathing, and then improve lung function.

Design of Rehabilitation Training System with Electromyography Feedback for Stroke Patients / 中国医疗器械杂志

This paper proposed a rehabilitation training system with electromyography (sEMG) feedback for stroke patients based on ARM embedded system and LabVIEW. The system can achieve real-time acquisition, processing and dualview of multi-channel sEMGs and compute related sEMG parameters including iEMG, RMS, MPF and co-contraction ratio. The system was detected by clinical experiments and related inspection department. The result showed that the system is functional, interactive and in accordance with the relevant standards for medical devices so that it can fully satisfy the clinical demands. In addition, the system can help doctors to master the training state of the patient more effectively in a real-time and quantitative way that is direct to improve the training programs of stroke patients.

Design Principle and clinical indications of the multifunctional training-box for extremities / 中国组织工程研究

To make a portable apparatus for the patient self-doing joint voluntarily exercise that is keeping with the training demand of human body potential and muscle strong. Different kinds of spring belts are used for joint exercise apparatus according to the needs of joint exercise. Though active joint extension and flexion by using the method of Chinese physical and breathing exercises, the exercise was done by drawing the spring belt. The extremity multifunctional training box is easy for carrying and sutble for each mussel be trained. Because of the wide range of back spring power, it is easy to reach the best training mount and to do the continually training under the biggest training mount. It is beneficial to the joint active function improvement. From June 2006 to February 2008, this kind of apparatus was used in 30 patients with footdrop at the Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University. The design of the extremity multifunctional training box is reasonable, and it is easy for carrying and operating. It is also helpful for the patient to do muscle exercise themselves, and the joint function can be persisted and improved by continual exercise using this apparatus.

Mechanism of weight relief walking remodeling and abnormal gait revising training device and its clinical indication / 中国组织工程研究

A device for promoting normal locomotor activity recuperation was made, which was composed by frame, elastic bolt and normal gait mark carpet. The device has the effects of weight relieving, abnormal gait preventing, and safeguards providing. The patient could do gait training by he/her self or assistant self training under the weight reducing and protecting of the device in order to improve the walking ability and the normal gait formation. It is effective for preventing drop foot and leg adduction, and also helpful for the recovery of normal gait ability and the prevention of abnormal gait formation. It is applicable for the patient who can not be trained with ordinary weight relief walking training, such as severe cerebral palsy and severe spasmodic lower extremity and foot drop after brain injury. The results demonstrated that the device is effective in protecting, correcting, preventing abnormal gait as well as forming normal gait.

The Device Developed for Potentialities Training of Lower Extremities and Its Clinical Indications / 中国康复理论与实践

@#Objective To develop one kind of device that can not only reduce the body weight,but also provide a good condition for training lower extremity potentialities.Methods The body weight bearing support and protection system,body weight reducing system and scaled footboard were made respectively.The lower extremity potentialities,nervous conduction speed and leg motion coordination ability training were done under protection and body weight reducing.Results The potential training device could exactly protect the patient and reduce body weight,and make the training step by step.Under the effects of protecting and body weight reducing of the potential training device,the training could be performed together with the Chinese traditional medicine rehabilitation method;that was physical and breathing exercises.The lower extremity potentialities were developed nicely.Conclusion The lower extremity potentialities training device is a useful training device which can bear body weight,have protective effect,develop lower extremity potentialities and improve coordination ability of lower extremities.
