Abstract: The present invention discloses a gamified method and device for assessing the severity of Parkinson's symptoms. During the game, movement data of the hands and legs are collected, and feature extraction is performed on the collected data based on game logic. This results in six feature values, including hand flexibility index, hand tremor index, hand correlation cognition score, leg flexibility index, leg tremor index, and leg correlation cognition score. These six feature values are input into a Parkinson's symptom severity assessment logistic regression model, which outputs a Parkinson's symptom evaluation level. By using this method, the invention assesses the severity of Parkinson's symptoms from both motor and non-motor symptom perspectives, resulting in a more reliable evaluation.
Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of smart elderly rehabilitation technology, and discloses a smart elderly rehabilitation game system based on the Eight-Section Brocade. The system includes a movement data collection device, an interactive game module based on the Eight-Section Brocade movements, and an intelligent analysis module. The interactive game module based on the Eight-Section Brocade movements includes a task objective part, a movement mapping part, an acceptance part, a judgment part, an output part, and a reward control part. The invention also discloses a smart elderly rehabilitation game method based on the Eight-Section Brocade. The method analyzes the Eight-Section Brocade movements from a data perspective and translates them into a virtual game scenario. As long as the user completes the predetermined Eight-Section Brocade movements according to the game process, they can receive feedback in the virtual game scenario, which enhances their sense of satisfaction and achievement, and motivates them to exercise. The invention effectively solves the problem of boring and monotonous exercise, making elderly people more willing to adhere to exercise and achieve the goal of elderly rehabilitation.
Abstract:The present invention discloses a method and device for adaptive kicking state recognition based on a nine-axis sensor. The recognition method includes the following steps: first, binding the nine-axis sensor to the user's lower leg, initializing data and collecting the latest frame data of the user's motion, including three-dimensional posture angle, three-axis acceleration, and three-axis angular velocity data. Second, calculating the combined angular velocity and performing operation with the three-axis acceleration for benchmark plane discrimination, calculating the kicking identification KICK, determining and outputting one of four current states, namely "approaching kicking", "kicking", "maintaining kicking", and "not kicking", along with the corresponding kicking duration. Finally, updating and storing the data. The recognition method and device of the present invention process the information of lower limb movement, which can further modularize lower limb movement, has the advantages of fast response, higher accuracy, and stronger adaptability, and has the ability of adaptive learning, which can distinguish and recognize different individual exercise habits.
