在物理治疗领域，物理治疗师分别帮助运动功能受损或先天性肢体缺失的儿童恢复运动功能或适应使用由肌电图信号控制的假肢。然而，孩子们经常放弃使用假肢的训练，因为重复会变得无聊。在有限的时间内，物理治疗师需要对生物反馈系统进行许多操作，以便为每个用户进行个性化。让孩子对治疗活动感到兴奋是很重要的。此外，生物反馈系统应该易于治疗师使用。在本文中，我们提出了一种基于积木的生物反馈玩具，称为“bioToys”。该系统由接收物理或生理信号的输入模块和产生不同动作或效果的输出模块组成。这种积木式系统允许包括治疗师、儿童及其家人在内的用户对生物反馈系统进行编程和个性化。最后，我们表明，通过使用开发的系统，它是可能的控制玩具，并记录肌肉活动在真实的时间。
In the field of physiotherapy, physical therapists assist children with impaired motor functions or congenital loss of limbs to recover their motor functions or to adapt to the use of prostheses controlled by electromyography signals, respectively. However, children often quit training in the use of artificial limbs because it becomes boring with repetition. During a limited time, physical therapists are required to perform many operations on the biofeedback systems in order to personalize them for each user. It is important for children to feel excited about the therapeutic activities. Furthermore, the biofeedback systems should be easy for the therapists to use. In this paper, we propose a building-block-based biofeedback toy called “bioToys.” This system consists of input blocks to receive physical or physiological signals and output blocks to generate different action or effects. This building block system allows users including therapists, children, and their family to program and personalize the biofeedback systems. Finally, we show that by using the developed system, it is possible to control the toys and to record the muscle activities in real time.
