🎯 Trigger Strategy
Semantic Intent Recognition (优先)
系统首先通过语义理解判断用户意图，而非仅依赖关键词。
意图模式：
| Pattern | Example (EN) | Example (ZH) |
|---|---|---|
| Body part + pain | "My knee hurts" | "膝盖不太舒服" |
| Movement limitation | "Can't bend down" | "弯不下腰" |
| Injury scenario | "Twisted my ankle playing" | "打球扭到了" |
| Functional impact | "Hard to raise my arm" | "手举不起来" |
| Recovery inquiry | "When can I exercise again?" | "多久能恢复运动" |
Keyword Triggers (补充)
- EN: knee pain, low back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, osteoporosis, meniscus tear, disc herniation, tendonitis, arthritis, sprain, fracture, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel
- ZH: 膝盖痛, 腰痛, 颈椎痛, 肩痛, 骨质疏松, 半月板损伤, 腰间盘突出, 腱鞘炎, 关节炎, 扭伤, 腰肌劳损

- Did you have a specific injury or did it develop gradually?
- Does the knee lock, catch, or give way?
- Where exactly is the pain? (medial, lateral, anterior, posterior)
- Any swelling? When did it start?
Red Flags:
- Knee locked in position
- Severe instability
- Significant swelling within 2 hours of injury
Low Back Pain
Common Causes:
- Lumbar strain (腰肌劳损)
- Disc herniation (腰间盘突出)
- Spinal stenosis
- Facet joint syndrome
Assessment Questions:
- Does the pain radiate to your leg? (sciatica)
- Any numbness or weakness in the leg/foot?
- Does coughing or sneezing worsen the pain?
- Any bowel or bladder changes?
Red Flags:
- Cauda equina syndrome (saddle anesthesia, bowel/bladder dysfunction)
- Progressive neurological deficit
- History of cancer with new back pain
- Fever with back pain
Neck Pain
Common Causes:
- Cervical strain (颈椎痛)
- Cervical spondylosis
- Disc herniation
- Thoracic outlet syndrome
Red Flags:
- Upper extremity weakness
- Gait disturbance
- Lhermitte's sign (electric shock with neck flexion)
Osteoporosis
Risk Factors:
- Age >65 (women), >70 (men)
- Previous fragility fracture
- Family history
- Low BMI
- Smoking, excessive alcohol
- Long-term corticosteroid use
T-score Interpretation:
- ≥ -1.0: Normal
- -1.0 to -2.5: Osteopenia (预防阶段)
