In 1979, the first computer program for TCM diagnosis was launched, although this time was about 30 years after artificial intelligence (AI) came into being and began to be widely used. However, an endless stream of artificial intelligence methods was applied in the field of Chinese medicine research, expert system, artificial neural network, data mining, and multivariate analysis; not limited to what was mentioned, this study tried to make a review on application of AI to TCM syndrome differentiation, while summarizing the artificial intelligence application of TCM syndrome differentiation in the current context. It also provides a theoretical background for the upcoming fully automated research on TCM syndrome differentiation and diagnosis robot.
Purpose. Retrospective analysis of the effect of portable 3D gait analysis as an innovative evaluation method in the treatment with MTT on chronic ankle instability patient. Methods. From January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2019, 56 cases of chronic ankle instability (CAI) were extracted from the medical record system of Shenzhen Longhua District Central Hospital. All the patients of 56 cases accepted the medical training therapy (MTT). As outcome parameters, the alterations of the Cumberland ankle instability tool (CAIT), foot and ankle ability measure (FAAM), were used before the treatment and after treatment; meanwhile, the portable apparatus 3D gait analysis was used to measure the gait parameters. Conclusion. The results showed only ankle angle parameters
Y
-axis, maximum dorsiflexion during support period (°) had a significant difference, and the
p
value is 0.039. Meanwhile, the CAIT, FAAM, and most 3D gait analysis data had no significant difference. This particular statistical difference shows that CAI can be measured scientifically and objectively, although most measurement parameters have no change. These results make further reveal that the CAI patients are suffering with dynamic abnormality of ankle motion angle; this also provides us with a measurable and systematic evaluation reference plan for CAI treatment in the future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
