Background
The electronic spine measuring instrument is a handheld medical instrument for screening and measuring spine deformity and abnormal posture, and the main principle is that an electronic gyroscope and an accelerometer which are arranged in the instrument are utilized to sense the included angle between each measuring surface and the space surface of a human body of a tested person under a specific posture during measurement, and the output measuring result comprises parameters of scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal activity (including lateral bending, forward/backward bending and rotating activity) and body balance degree, and the obtained information can be used by doctors to determine whether further medical evaluation is needed.
The current general method for measuring scoliosis and kyphosis projects using a spinal column measuring instrument is: and (3) allowing the testee to take an Adam body forward bending posture or a standing posture, placing the spine measuring instrument on the spine, attaching the spine to the spine, sliding and scanning along the spine, recording the spatial inclination angle of the measuring instrument in the whole sliding and scanning process by the equipment in the process, analyzing and summarizing, and finally obtaining a measuring result.
The accuracy and repetition accuracy of the above measurement results are highly dependent on the control of the equipment positioning and sliding scan path by the operator, and their influencing factors include: 1. measuring a positioning error of the initial position; 2. measuring an end position positioning error; 3. whether the sliding path is tightly attached to the back or not is scanned; 4. scanning the coincidence degree of the sliding path and the ridge line; 5. during the scan sliding, the device is tilted on the non-measurement face.
At present, the control of the conventional mainstream measuring equipment on the influencing factors can only depend on marking marks on the back of a testee and subjective visual judgment of operators, and in the actual measuring process, the following defects are easy to exist:
1. Under the condition of large-scale screening, no effective control and auxiliary means exist for the operation errors which occur artificially;
2. The length of the path of the sliding scanning of the spine measuring equipment can be regarded as the length of the spine of a tested person, the length value can be used for the primary positioning of the scoliosis occurrence part (positioned at the thoracic vertebra/thoracolumbar vertebra/lumbar vertebra segment), and is an important index for auxiliary diagnosis, however, the traditional technical method does not actually measure the spine, or only adds a mechanical roller device or a spine segment counter to the equipment to perform length simulation or conversion, the operation method is complex, the measuring error is large, the precision is low, the scoliosis occurrence part positioning error is easy to be caused, the diagnosis is easy to be disturbed, and the roller and other devices easily cause strong uncomfortable feeling to the tested person;
3. The measured value of the gyroscope can only reflect the space angle state of the equipment in a certain time, and the complete morphological data of the back of the spine can not be completely reflected, so that the method is not beneficial to clinical diagnosis and analysis.

As shown in fig. 1 to 5, the electronic spine measuring instrument with positioning and ranging functions of the present embodiment includes a host 1, a gyroscope, a positioning module 2, a ranging module 3, and a measuring offset warning module.
Specifically, the host 1 is approximately cuboid, and is internally provided with conventional elements such as an MCU main control chip, a Flash memory chip, a power management chip and the like; the gyroscope is built in the host 1 and is a conventional gyroscope sensor; the front end of the host 1 forms a measuring end surface m, the positioning module 2 and the distance measuring module 3 are arranged on the measuring end surface m, wherein the positioning module 2 is used for forming a point or linear positioning mark which is coincident with the spine of the object to be measured, and the positioning mark forms a measuring path which is coincident with the spine line in measurement; the distance measuring module 3 is positioned in the measuring end surface m and is used for scanning and acquiring displacement formed by the host 1 in measurement and for monitoring and indicating the contact state of the measuring end surface m and the back of the ridge of the object to be measured; the measuring offset warning module of the embodiment adopts a conventional software model to realize the measuring offset warning function, and when measuring along a measuring path, the ranging module 3 is matched with the gyroscope to establish a spine 3D model of an object to be measured, and the measuring offset warning module can send warning signals along with the measuring path relative to spine offset. In the specific 3D model building process, a conventional computer technology is used for processing, namely, during modeling, a computer converts the sliding track length obtained by scanning of a photoelectric sensor into the spine length, and then the obtained spine length value and the space angle data are combined to build a coordinate system to obtain the coordinates of any position on the spine, so that the building of the 3D linear model of the spine is realized.
In some embodiments, the front end and the back surface of the host 1 respectively form a measurement end surface m, wherein the measurement end surface m positioned on the back surface is a plane, and the positioning module 2 and the ranging module 3 form a measurement group, and two measurement groups are correspondingly arranged on the two measurement end surfaces m; the host 1 is recessed inwards from the middle part of a measuring end surface m at the front end to form a groove c, wherein the center lines of the groove c and the measuring end surface m are overlapped, in the orthographic projection of the host 1 in the thickness direction, the groove c is in an inward arched arc shape, and the joint parts of the two opposite sides of the groove c and the measuring end surface m are in an outward arched arc shape; during measurement, the spinous process of the spine of the object to be measured is inserted into the groove c.
In this example, the positioning module 2 employs a laser pointer capable of emitting a laser pointer line in a cross shape as a positioning mark. In some embodiments, the positioning module 2 is mounted within the groove c, and the positioning module 2 is located on the centerline of the groove c.
In this example, the ranging modules 3 use photoelectric sensors, where there are two ranging modules 3 located on the left and right sides of the spine of the object to be measured, and when measuring along the measuring path, the ranging modules 3 on the two sides scan synchronously. In some embodiments, the ranging modules 3 are located at opposite sides of the groove c, and two ranging modules 3 are symmetrically disposed at opposite sides of the positioning module 2. By combining the hardware function of the photoelectric sensor with computer software, in the measuring process, the photoelectric sensor measures the distance between the end face m and the back of the ridge of the object to be measured in real time, and when the distance is larger than 1mm, the host computer sends prompt information to remind operators; when the interval is continuously larger than 1mm for a plurality of times, the host computer automatically judges that the measured data is invalid. Therefore, the situation that the measuring end face of the host computer is separated from the back of the ridge of the object to be measured for measurement due to human misoperation is avoided, all measured data are ensured to be obtained in the state that the measuring end face of the host computer is contacted with the back of the object to be measured, and the accuracy of final measured data is further improved.
Meanwhile, the positioning module 2, the ranging module 3 and the measuring offset warning module are communicated with each other, and when displacement data acquired by the ranging modules 3 on the left side and the right side are compared through the host computer 1 and deviate, the measuring offset warning module also sends a warning signal to inform an operator to re-measure.

In addition, a bluetooth communication module communicated with the PC workstation is further disposed in the host 1, the measured data is transmitted to the PC workstation through the bluetooth communication module, and is analyzed and processed by a matched application program, so that a specific analysis and processing process is a conventional technical means, and details are omitted herein, and the method can be implemented clearly.
Therefore, the implementation procedure of this embodiment is as follows:
An operator holds the host machine to enable the corresponding measuring end surface to be closely attached to the back of the ridge of the testee, a laser indicator on the host machine sends out a visible laser indication line, and the positioning of equipment is accurately given; then, an operator adjusts the sliding track of the host machine to enable the laser indication line to coincide with the spine spinous process of the tested person so as to accurately control the sliding path of the host machine to finish scanning, and simultaneously, the displacement data of the host machine sliding along the spine of the tested person is measured through the left photoelectric sensor and the right photoelectric sensor, and the space angle data of the host machine is synchronously measured through the gyroscope; and finally, transmitting the space angle data acquired by the gyroscope and the displacement data acquired by the photoelectric sensor into a host MCU, transmitting the space angle data and the displacement data into a PC workstation after processing, and analyzing the space angle data and the displacement data by a matched application program for spine 3D morphological modeling, wherein an output result comprises a trunk rotation angle, a spine length, a simulated spine 3D linear model and the like of each part of the spine, that is, when modeling, a computer converts a sliding track length acquired by scanning the photoelectric sensor into a spine length, and then combines the acquired spine length value with the space angle data to establish a coordinate system to acquire coordinates of any position on the spine, thereby realizing establishment of the spine 3D linear model.
