Abstract:
Objective To design a portable neck muscle training device to improve muscle strength around the neck and neck stability in pilots to reduce the incidence of neck disorders.Methods A portable neck muscle training device for pilots was designed based on a self-developed adaptive admittance force tracking control algorithm,which was composed of a damping generator,a transmission system,a fixation clamping mechanism,a head-mounted terminal,a control system,a power supply,a communication bus and a mobile App realized with Android Studio integrated development environment.Results The training device developed could be used for training of neck flexion,extension and rotation,which increased pilots'neck and shoulder activity angle,cervical curvature and strength intensity of each muscle group.Conclusion The training device gains advantages in portability,real-time feedback and low cost,and can be used for targeted training of neck muscles.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2023,44(11):21-26]
