The smart wheelchair is a service robot that can be used as a means of transportation for the elderly and the disabled. The patients were given an intelligent wheelchair designed by electroencephalogram (EEG), which was used for more than 8 hours and tested continuously for 1 month. By ridit analysis, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( = 3.72, < 0.01). The scores of visual analogue scale (VAS) and joint ground visuality (JGV) in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group. The modules of physiological function (PF), physical pain (PP), overall health (OH), vitality (VT), social function (SF), emotional function (EF), and mental health (MH) in the SF-36 scores of the two groups were significantly improved ( < 0.05), and the improvement of each module in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group ( < 0.05). The levels of serum IL-6, IL-10, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the two groups were significantly improved ( < 0.05), and the improvement of serum IL-6, IL-10, and SOD in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group ( < 0.05). It is suggested that neural engineering based on EEG characteristics can be well applied in comfort industrial design.
智能轮椅是一种服务机器人,可用作老年人和残疾人的交通工具。给患者使用了基于脑电图(EEG)设计的智能轮椅,连续测试了 1 个月,超过 8 小时。经 Ridit 分析,两组间差异有统计学意义( = 3.72, < 0.01)。观察组的视觉模拟评分(VAS)和关节地面可视性(JGV)评分明显优于对照组。两组的生理功能(PF)、躯体疼痛(PP)、总体健康(OH)、活力(VT)、社会功能(SF)、情感职能(EF)和精神健康(MH)的 SF-36 评分模块均有显著改善( < 0.05),观察组各模块的改善情况均明显优于对照组( < 0.05)。两组的血清白细胞介素-6(IL-6)、白细胞介素-10(IL-10)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)水平均有显著提高( < 0.05),观察组血清 IL-6、IL-10 和 SOD 的改善情况明显优于对照组( < 0.05)。提示基于 EEG 特征的神经工程学可很好地应用于舒适工业设计。
