Exercise platform for rehabilitation management

Abstract

Proposed is an exercise platform for rehabilitation management and, more particularly, an exercise platform for rehabilitation management that estimates maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) through a sensor being able to acquire condition data of a user and that adjusts exercise intensity of the user in accordance with the estimated maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max).

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An exercise platform for rehabilitation management, the exercise platform comprising:
 an exercise apparatus including a drum, pedals connected to the drum and having a wireless pedaling sensor therein, a seat disposed on the drum, and handles connected to a side of the drum and having a heartbeat measurer configured to measure heartbeat of a user;   a controller disposed on the handles and configured to operate characters of contents that operate in cooperation with the exercise apparatus;   a communication unit connected to the exercise apparatus in a wireless or wired type;   a server connected to the communication unit and configured to receive data of the exercise apparatus and generate an exercise apparatus control signal;   a processor installed in the exercise apparatus and configured to acquire a sensor value from the wireless pedaling sensor, select a character from a rehabilitation content, and control the selected character on the basis of the sensor value acquired from the wireless pedaling sensor;   a display disposed between the handles and configured to display a video of the rehabilitation content in cooperation with the processor;   a mobile device configured to receive an image displayed on the display and data of the exercise apparatus in cooperation with the display and the exercise apparatus; and   a user sensor unit configured to acquire condition data of a user and calculates a correction coefficient from the condition data of a user,   wherein the server includes a VO2max estimator configured to estimate VO2max using heartbeat data of a user, which are measured by the heartbeat measurer, and condition data of the user, which are acquired from the user sensor unit when the platform further includes the user sensor unit, in cooperation with the heartbeat measurer, and   the VO2max estimator of the server acquires elapsed time and estimates VO2max using the following equations,
     VO 2 max of male=2.94× T×α+ 8.33
 
     VO 2 max of female=2.74× T×α+ 8.05
 
   Wherein T is time that it takes to reach 85% of a maximum heart rate from a heart rate in a rest state and a is a correction coefficient.   
     
     
         2 . The exercise platform of  claim 1 , wherein the server further includes an exercise intensity proposer configured to propose exercise intensity to a user. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise platform of  claim 1 , wherein an exercise intensity adjuster configured to adjust intensity of exercise by adjusting rotation intensity of the pedals is included in the drum of the exercise apparatus. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise platform of  claim 1 , wherein the display includes a control unit configured to change colors that are shown on the display to show exercise intensity of a user. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise platform of  claim 1 , wherein the processor estimates torque according to the number of revolutions of the pedals using load values in stages, which are measured by an exercise intensity measurer, and linear regression analysis. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise platform of  claim 2 , wherein the exercise intensity proposer measures a heart rate of a user before exercising using the heartbeat measurer, estimates VO2max from the heart rate before exercising, determines a physical grade on the basis of the estimated VO2max, measures a heart rate of the user during exercising, determines whether the measured heart rate during exercising is out of a reference heart rate range of the determined physical grade, and, when the heart rate during exercising is out of the reference heart rate range, informs the user of the fact through a display or by generating an alarm sound, thereby proposing exercise intensity to the user.
