Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6 , the present embodiment provides a rehabilitation device 100 for sensory degeneration. As shown in FIG. 1 , the rehabilitation device 100 includes a physical control unit 1 and at least one multimedia control unit 2 connected to the physical control unit 1. The physical control unit 1 can cooperate with the multimedia control unit 2 so that the rehabilitation device 100 can achieve the purpose of rehabilitation in the form of a game of at least one of oral, finger, memory, color and sound, and the rehabilitation device 100 can simultaneously integrate "physical" and "virtual" to achieve the effects of rehabilitation and participation (competition). In other words, any rehabilitation device that cannot "integrate virtual and real to conduct rehabilitation in the form of a game" is not the rehabilitation device 100 referred to in the present invention. Next, the various components of the rehabilitation device 100 and their connection relationships are introduced below.

Referring again to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 , the physical control unit 1 is used as a medium for physical presentation, and the physical control unit 1 includes a sensing carrier 11, a physical actuator 12 disposed on the sensing carrier 11, a driver 13 capable of driving the physical actuator 12, and a first communicator 14 electrically coupled to the sensing carrier 11 and the driver 13.

The sensing carrier 11 is a rectangular plate structure in this embodiment, and the sensing carrier 11 includes a track 111, and the track 111 has a plurality of predetermined sensing points 112 arranged in sequence. In practice, the sensing carrier 11 is used as a carrier for playing table games, and the sensing carrier 11 has game information such as level progress or rounds. The game information can be presented in the form of a painting or a display panel. The track 111 is configured according to the progress direction of the game information, and a plurality of the predetermined sensing points 112 are set on the track 111 as sensing points for progress or rounds. For example, one predetermined sensing point 112 is set on the track 111 at a position corresponding to each round.

The physical action piece 12 is movably disposed on the track 111, and the physical action piece 12 represents the role of the rehabilitator in the game. When the physical action piece 12 passes through any of the predetermined sensing points 112, the predetermined sensing point 112 can be triggered by the physical action piece 12, so that the sensing carrier 11 can send a physical synchronization signal with different identity information. In other words, each of the predetermined sensing points 112 has different identity information.

In this embodiment, part of the physical action member 12 can be immersed in the track 111 to trigger the predetermined sensing point 112 located in the track 111. The physical action member 12 can trigger the predetermined sensing point 112 by pressure or by conduction, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

The driver 13 in this embodiment can be a servo motor, and the driver 13 is connected to the track 111, so that the driver 13 can receive a virtual synchronization signal with identity information to drive the physical motion piece 12 to move along the track 111. Specifically, the driver 13 can drive a traction member (not shown, such as a belt or gear) in the track 111, so that the traction member drives the physical motion piece 12 to move along the track 111.

The first communicator 14 can communicate by wire or wirelessly, and the first communicator 14 can receive and send the physical synchronization signal and the virtual synchronization signal. In this embodiment, the first communicator 14 is wireless communication as an example, and the first communicator 14 can realize wireless connection through communication protocols such as WiFi and Bluetooth.

Referring again to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 4, the number of the at least one multimedia control unit 2 is two, and it serves as a medium for digital (or virtual) operations. Each of the multimedia control units 2 includes a second communicator 21 connected to the first communicator 14, a host 22 electrically coupled to the second communicator 21, and a synchronizer 23 electrically coupled to the host 22 and the second communicator 21.

The second communicator 21 can communicate with the first communicator 14 in a wired or wireless manner, and the second communicator 21 can receive and send the physical synchronization signal and the virtual synchronization signal. In this embodiment, the second communicator 21 is a wireless communication example, and the second communicator 21 can be wirelessly connected through communication protocols such as WiFi and Bluetooth.

The host 22 in this embodiment includes functions such as calculation, storage memory, and screen presentation. The host 22 can be implemented as a mobile phone or a tablet in practice, but the present invention is not limited thereto. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , the host 22 can present a game screen A22, and the game screen A22 has a map interface S111 corresponding to the track 111, a node S112 located in the map interface S111 and corresponding to each of the predetermined sensing points 112, and a character information S12 located in the map interface S111 and corresponding to the physical action piece 12. When the character information S12 passes through each of the nodes S112, the host 22 can send the virtual synchronization signal with different identity information. Accordingly, when the driver receives the virtual synchronization signal, the driver 13 can drive the physical action element 12 to the corresponding position of the predetermined sensing point 112 according to the identity information.

In addition, the host 22 has rehabilitation task information corresponding to at least one of the rehabilitation behaviors of the oral cavity, fingers, memory, color and sound. In practice, the rehabilitation task information can be obtained by pre-writing or online synchronization, and the rehabilitation task information is a game-type rehabilitation exercise provided by a rehabilitation therapist or a professional (for example: a storytelling game for oral movement, a matching game for cognitive rehabilitation, a whack-a-mole game for finger rehabilitation, a color memory game for memory rehabilitation, a sound recognition game for sound rehabilitation, etc.).

The host 22 establishes a start-up valve when the rehabilitation task information is satisfied, and the start-up valve can correspond to one of the nodes S112, so that the host 22 can command the character information S12 to move to the corresponding node S112 to generate the virtual synchronization signal. For example, the rehabilitation task information is a whack-a-mole game. When the correct click rate in the whack-a-mole game is greater than a pass threshold (i.e., the start-up valve), the host 22 can command the character information S12 to move to the corresponding node S112 to generate the virtual synchronization signal. At the same time, the driver 13 receives the virtual synchronization signal through the first communicator 14 and indirectly through the second communicator 21, thereby driving the physical motion element 12 to move to the corresponding predetermined sensing point 112.

The synchronizer 23 can obtain the physical synchronization signal and the virtual synchronization signal to compare the identity information. When the identity information of the physical synchronization signal and the identity information of the virtual synchronization signal are different, the synchronizer 23 can select the identity information of the virtual synchronization signal as the reference object, so that the host 22 sends the virtual synchronization signal to the driver 13 again, so that the driver 13 drives the physical motion part 12 to move, thereby achieving the effect of secondary confirmation of synchronization. Of course, the synchronizer and the physical synchronization signal are used for secondary confirmation of synchronization, so they can be omitted according to the situation.

As shown in FIG. 6 , it should be understood that the rehabilitation device 100 implements a synchronization method, and the synchronization method includes steps S101 to S107:

Step S101: Establish the start valve value when the rehabilitation task information is met.

Step S103: Command the role information to move to the corresponding node.

Step S105: When the role information passes through each node, a virtual synchronization signal with different identity information is sent.

Step S107: When receiving the virtual synchronization signal with identity information, drive the physical action element to move along the track.

Accordingly, the two multimedia control units 2 can provide two rehabilitators with a game competition to perform rehabilitation, and the progress of each rehabilitator can be presented through the physical control unit, so that bystanders can participate in the rehabilitation progress. It should be particularly noted that research has found that the elderly are happy to play board games with their peers, and the present invention is designed based on this phenomenon. Among them, the number of multimedia control units 2 of the rehabilitation device 100 can also be designed to be one for single-person rehabilitation. Alternatively, the number of the physical control units of the rehabilitation device 100 is designed to be two, so that two rehabilitators can perform rehabilitation in a game competition at a different location.

Preferably, from the perspective of completing a multi-round rehabilitation game, in order to ensure that the rehabilitator can play the rehabilitation game at an appropriate difficulty level, each of the multimedia control units 2 may further include a challenge database 24 (as shown in FIG. 4 ) electrically coupled to the host computer 22, the challenge database 24 including multiple rehabilitation action data of different difficulty levels, and the host computer 22 selects multiple rehabilitation action data as the rehabilitation task information through the challenge database 24.

Each of the rehabilitation action data in the challenge database 24 is defined as a difficulty score, the host computer 22 includes a predetermined total score, and the sum of the difficulty scores of the multiple rehabilitation action data selected by the host computer 22 from the challenge database 24 is equal to the predetermined total score.

Furthermore, the host 22 can send a completion time signal when the character information passes through each node S112, that is, the host 22 sends a completion time signal when the rehabilitator successfully passes each level. In order to ensure that the host 22 can adjust the game difficulty when the rehabilitator is concentrating on playing, the host 22 can send a concentration detection signal at a predetermined time period, and the concentration detection signal can be triggered by the operation action of the rehabilitator. When the host 22 is triggered by the concentration detection signal and detects that the total time of the current multiple completion time signals is greater than a predetermined time threshold, the host 22 selects multiple rehabilitation action data from the challenge database 24 again, and the sum of the difficulty scores of the multiple rehabilitation action data is less than the predetermined total score, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the difficulty of rehabilitation.

On the contrary, when the host 22 detects that the total time of the current multiple completion time signals is not greater than the predetermined time threshold, the host 22 selects multiple rehabilitation action data from the challenge database 24 again, and the sum of the difficulty scores of the multiple rehabilitation action data is greater than the predetermined total score, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing the difficulty of rehabilitation.

In addition, from the perspective of completing a single round of rehabilitation game, in order to ensure that the rehabilitator can play the rehabilitation game at an appropriate difficulty level, each of the multimedia control units 2 further includes a physiological monitoring module 25 (as shown in FIG. 4 ) electrically coupled to the host computer 22. The physiological monitoring module 25 can be used to monitor a physiological parameter of a rehabilitator (for example, worn on the rehabilitator to monitor at least one of heartbeat, blood pressure, brain wave, respiratory rate, sweat volume, body temperature change, and limb movement amount). When the physiological parameter of the host computer 22 is not greater than a predetermined physiological range (i.e., the normal physiological value of the rehabilitator), the host computer 22 selects a plurality of rehabilitation action data from the challenge database 24 again, and the sum of the difficulty scores of the plurality of rehabilitation action data is less than the predetermined total score, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the difficulty of rehabilitation.
