Description

  The present invention relates to a higher brain dysfunction evaluation training apparatus for performing higher brain dysfunction evaluation and recovery training.

  In recent years, medical care and welfare support for people with higher brain dysfunction have been reviewed, and an improved support system is being developed. For higher brain dysfunction caused by head trauma, stroke or aging, etc., the causal relationship between the therapeutic effect and recovery of brain function has not been fully clarified, and the establishment of treatment and evaluation training technology is strong. It has been demanded. Recovering attention deficit or concentration deficit or visual agnosia, which frequently appear in higher brain dysfunction, is the most important condition for a disabled person to return safely to society. The establishment of training techniques is highly expected by medical and welfare personnel.

  TMT (Trail Making Test) is known as a conventional recovery training technique for attention and concentration deficits. TMT is a method in which indices such as numbers 1 to 25 written on a piece of paper are sequentially traced with a pencil or the like. On the other hand, as a training method for visual agnosis, there is a method of erasing numbers printed on a sheet at random as determined.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-112981 reports an apparatus that can perform training by TMT on a computer screen. On the other hand, as a method for improving visual disapproval, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-300908 reports a method of searching for and deleting an index pattern displayed in advance on a case.

  Handicapped people with deficits in attention and concentration or visual disabilities tend to be more tired and harder to maintain due to brain damage than normal people. Nonetheless, training using a device based on a conventional TMT or the like is performed by searching for a target to be searched for by a subject from among targets previously displayed on paper or on a screen, or pointing with a finger. It was to be done by work. These tasks are monotonous because they require continuous attention during training, and it is difficult for people with disabilities who have difficulty concentrating compared to healthy people to concentrate on training. There was a problem.

  Furthermore, until now, there has been no device that can verify the results of quantitative evaluation training for attention deficits (hereinafter referred to as attention deficits) and disorders based on visual agnosia.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, and is a high-order brain dysfunction evaluation training apparatus (hereinafter simply referred to as “this application”) in which a plurality of pushbuttons having a lighting function are arranged in four directions on a case. Device ").

  The lighting function of the push button is preferably provided with a lighting device such as a lamp or a light-emitting diode inside the push button so that it can be visually recognized from the outside of the push button surface. The subject's attention to the push button that repeatedly turns on and off turns the subject's brain into a strong stimulus and a weak stimulus alternately, and improves the sustainability of concentration and encourages the subject's vision to recognize the push button effective. The subject can perform recovery training for higher brain dysfunction by reacting to push the push button immediately after visually confirming that the push button is lit.

In addition, a plurality of push buttons are arranged in four directions on the case, and each push button may be randomly arranged with an interval between adjacent push buttons. It is preferable to be formed. This is because it is easy for the subject to make a position-dependent evaluation depending on which position of the push button is not particularly visible.
The case forms the outer shape of the device of the present application, and is preferably formed of synthetic resin or metal.

  The push button only needs to have a function to promote recognition to the subject's vision even if it is other than the lighting function. For example, the top surface of the push button was white before being recognized by the subject's vision However, it may have a display function of coloring in black, red, blue, green, or the like or a display function in which some pattern appears when the subject's vision is recognized after the start of training. Of course, it goes without saying that the color of the upper surface of the push button in a state before being recognized by the subject's vision may be a color other than white.

  In addition, the push button arranged on the training apparatus case may be a switch that operates by performing an operation of depressing, striking, or touching in addition to the operation of being pressed by the subject. The push button is preferably formed of a strong material so that it does not break even if the subject presses it with force. When the test subject pushes the push button with force, a strong stimulus is transmitted to the test subject's brain, and there is an effect of promoting the recovery of the disorder, such as improving the sustainability of concentration and improving the upper limb movement disorder.

  Specifically, the device of the present application is a higher-order brain dysfunction evaluation training device in which a plurality of push buttons having a lighting function are arranged in four directions on a case, and is randomly selected from the plurality of push buttons. When the lighting control means for turning on one selected push button and the time until the push button lighted by the lighting control means is turned off in the state of being left unlit are turned on by the lighting control means. When the push button is pressed within the lighting duration time and when the push button is not pushed until the lighting duration time elapses, the lighting control means that turns off, and the lighting control means and the lighting control means are alternately executed. A lighting means is provided.

  When the device of the present application starts to operate, the lighting control means is executed, and one of the push buttons arranged on the case is turned on.

The lighting control unit is a unit that associates each push button with a value in the random number table stored in the storage device included in the device of the present application, and turns on the push button corresponding to the value read from the random number table. preferable. The random number table may be determined as one, but it is preferable that the random number table is updated to a random number table having another sequence for each operation of the device of the present application.
By using such lighting control means, the subject cannot predict which push button will light, and the subject's attention can be directed to the entire area where the push button is arranged on the case.

  The lighting continuation time is a time until the push button lit by the lighting control means is turned off in a state where it is left. The lighting duration time is preferably set between 0.5 seconds and 5 seconds. This is because it is a time suitable for the subject to find a push button that is lit during the lighting duration time and to train to press the push button to recover the deficient attention. Moreover, it is desirable that the lighting duration time can be set according to the purpose of the evaluation training before the operation of the apparatus of the present application is started.

  The push button continues to be lit until the push button is pressed within the lighting duration time, or until the lighting duration time elapses if no push button is pressed. However, the operation that continues to be lit may be blinking.

  The turn-off control means turns off the lighting of the push button turned on by the turn-on control means after the lighting duration time has elapsed. However, if the subject pushes the push button that is lit before the lighting duration time elapses, the subject is turned off even before the lighting duration time elapses. Here, in addition to the above-described function of the turn-off control means, it may have a function of turning off the light even when the subject erroneously presses a push button other than the push button that is turned on before the lighting duration time elapses.

  After the operation of the device of the present application starts, the alternate lighting means that alternately executes the lighting control means and the extinguishing control means is activated. During the operation of the alternate lighting means, the push buttons arranged on the case repeatedly turn on and off in random order.

  The size of the case forming the outer shape of the device of the present application is preferably a substantially rectangular shape having a length of 40 cm to 150 cm and a width of 40 cm to 150 cm, more preferably a length of 60 cm to 100 cm and a width of 60 cm to 100 cm.

  In other words, the device of the present application is preferably 40 cm long and 40 cm wide, which is a range in which a person on a desk can reasonably recognize even when a healthy person sits on a chair even when his visual field is fixed. The range that reaches the push button by extending the upper limb is preferably 150 cm or less and 150 cm or less.

  The device of the present application may be installed on a desk and used. More preferably, the apparatus has a rotating shaft on the back surface of the case, and a leg portion extending vertically downward from the case back surface through the rotating shaft. Therefore, it is desirable that the device of the present application is configured to be able to stand. It is preferable that the leg portion has a height adjustment function up to a height of 70 cm to 130 cm. The case is configured to be able to rotate in the elevation direction with the rotation axis as the rotation center, and when the case surface is leveled, it is possible to perform evaluation training with the subject standing, and the case surface is obliquely upward When the rotation angle is adjusted so as to face the subject, the subject can take evaluation training while sitting in the wheelchair.

  The device of the present application records that the push button lit by the lighting control means is a correct answer when pressed within the lighting continuation time, and a push button other than the lit push button is pressed within the lighting continuation time. If no push button is pressed until the lighting duration time elapses, it is recorded that there is no answer and the alternate lighting means is being executed. There may be provided a frequency recording means for recording the number of occurrences of each of correct answers, incorrect answers, and no answers.

  The correct answer, incorrect answer, no answer, and the number of occurrences recorded by the number recording means are preferably recorded in a recording element such as a RAM provided in the apparatus of the present application.

  Further, in the case where the present application is the correct answer, the correct answer time recording means for recording the correct answer time every time a correct answer occurs, with the time from when the push button lit by the lighting control means is pressed until it is pressed is set as the correct answer time. May be provided.

  The correct answer time recording means is preferably configured to record the correct answer time in a recording element such as a RAM provided in the apparatus of the present application.

  Further, in the present application, when the time shorter than the lighting duration time is set as a good response time, and the correct answer time is within the good response time, the good response is associated with the correct answer time. It may be recorded in the correct answer time recording means.

  The good reaction time is preferably set between 1 second and 1.5 seconds.

  Further, the apparatus of the present application may further include a number output means for outputting the number of occurrences of correct answers, wrong answers and / or no answers stored in the number of times recording means after the time when the alternate lighting means is executed ends. .

  The area where the push buttons are arranged is divided into four quadrants as viewed from the subject, and is controlled so that the number of times the push buttons belonging to each quadrant are lit is equal to each other during the execution time of the alternate lighting means. Equal control means may be provided.

  The four quadrants are obtained by dividing two virtual axes perpendicular to the center of the area where the push button is arranged and parallel to the case into upper, lower, left and right when the virtual axis is viewed from the subject. It is formed.

  By comparing the number of correct answers in each of the four quadrants, information on the brain region related to the subject's disability and information on the visual field area causing visual disapproval are displayed for the entire area where the push buttons are arranged. It is possible to evaluate in more detail than when evaluating the number of correct answers.

  In the present application device, a part of the push buttons arranged on the case may be the target of the alternate lighting means.

  As described above, a part of the push buttons is the target of the alternate lighting means, so that the area of the push button that is the subject of the evaluation training can be reduced. Accordingly, the device of the present application can be used even if the subject is a small subject or a subject who is in a wheelchair and cannot easily reach all the push buttons.

  Further, the apparatus of the present application includes a classification unit that classifies according to which quadrant of the four quadrants the recording recorded by the number recording unit, and correct and incorrect answers generated in each quadrant classified by the classification unit. You may provide the quadrant division | segmentation output means which outputs the frequency | count or generation rate of each of an answer and / or no answer.

  The number output means and the quadrant division output means may have a function of discharging a paper medium on which output contents are printed in a part of the case of the apparatus of the present application, and it is also preferable to display the output contents on a display.

  Further, it is preferable that the push button has a substantially disc shape and has a diameter of 1 cm to 15 cm. If the diameter of the push button is 1 cm or more, the subject can perform training using a finger or an upper limb, and if the diameter of the push button is within 15 cm, a sufficient number of push buttons should be arranged on the case. Can do. More preferably, the push button has a diameter of 2 cm to 5 cm. Because the push button has such a size, it is possible to easily push the push button even if the upper limb is a subject who is inconvenient due to the obstacle.

  Moreover, the device of the present application may have a function of notifying the subject of the lighting of the push button by a signal sound by providing the signal sound generating device. By providing the signal sound generation device, it becomes easy for the subject to know the lighting of the push button.

  The signal sound may be emitted from a speaker provided in the device of the present application or a headphone worn by the subject, and is preferably emitted from a speaker provided in each lit push button.

  When the device of the present application is provided with alternate lighting means, when the push button is extinguished, the subject keeps the attention of the entire case low, and when the push button is on, the subject increases the attention to the push button. In this way, you can unconsciously give attention to your attention. This slowness of attention gives different stimuli to the subject's brain, thereby effectively improving the persistence of concentration during training.

  Further, according to the device of the present application, the push button is lit for the lighting duration time, then temporarily turned off, and which push button is turned on next cannot be predicted by the subject. Therefore, each time the subject presses the push button, the visual attention can be returned to the entire area where the push button is arranged on the case. As a result, the attention of the subject can be directed to the entire area where the push button is arranged on the case.

  Furthermore, by recording the correct answer time, it is possible to realize quantitative verification of the obstacle appearing in the visual recognition speed due to the lack of attention.

  In addition, by dividing the push button arranged on the case into four quadrants and comparing the correct answer rate in each quadrant, the information on the visual field range causing visual disapproval is acquired quantitatively and in detail and verified. be able to.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  In FIG. 1, the device 1 for higher brain dysfunction (hereinafter referred to as device 1) is roughly provided with a case 2 having a substantially rectangular shape and a plurality of push buttons 3 arranged on the case 2. The push button 3 has a lighting function by being provided with a lighting device 4 composed of a light emitting diode.

  The case 2 is a box formed of a synthetic resin plate in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and a control unit is stored inside the case 2. The surface of the case 2 is divided into an upper surface forming the operation surface 5 and a lower surface where a plurality of push buttons 3 are arranged. On the operation surface 5, a result display section 6, an area display section 7, an area switch 8, a training time switch 9, a lighting duration switch 10, a result output section 11, a start button 12, and a power switch 13 are arranged. Yes.

  The control unit 8 includes a lighting control means 5, a light extinguishing control means 6, and an alternating lighting means 7. When the start button 12 is pressed, the control unit 8 starts operation, and turns on or turns off the lighting device 4 provided in the push button 3. Lighting or extinguishing of the lighting device 4 is realized by the alternate lighting means 7 alternately operating the lighting control means 5 and the extinguishing control means 6 after the operation of the control unit 8 is started. Here, it is desirable that the control unit 8 is composed of a computer in which a recording device such as a ROM is combined with an electronic arithmetic device such as a CPU.

  With the configuration as described above, the device 1 of the present application can be operated and trained by the subject 16 alone. However, when the operator is in charge of the operation of the device 1 other than the subject 16, the subject 16 performs the evaluation training. You can concentrate on it.

  The case 2 also includes a recording operation unit for executing the number recording means, the correct answer time recording means, the classification means, and the four-quadrant divided output means, and the obtained evaluation training results are adapted to the purpose. Can be recorded and output. Here, it is desirable that the recording operation unit is composed of a computer in which a recording device using a RAM or the like and an electronic operation device using a CPU are combined.

  Since the device 1 of the present application is equipped with the above-mentioned equipment, the device operation and the result confirmation required for the evaluation training of higher brain dysfunction can be performed independently. However, as shown in FIG. By connecting, the control unit 8 provided in the device 1 of the present application can be operated from the external control device 14. In addition, the evaluation training result obtained from the recording calculation unit can be output on the monitor 15 provided in the external control device 14 for analysis.

  The push button 3 is formed in a substantially disc shape from a synthetic resin, and is arranged so as to slightly swell from the surface of the case 2. The material such as the synthetic resin forming the push button 3 is a transparent or translucent material. When the lighting device 4 is turned on, the subject 16 can visually recognize the light emitted from the lighting device 4 through at least the upper surface of the push button 3. Yes. 36 push buttons 3 are provided on the case 2 in 6 rows and 6 columns, and the adjacent push buttons 3 are arranged in a matrix at equal intervals.

  When the subject 16 performs the evaluation training, the operator turns on the power switch 13 and sets the training time and the lighting duration time in the control unit 8.

  The training time is a time when the push button 3 repeats lighting and extinction when the alternating lighting means 7 operates after the start button 12 is pressed. When the training time elapses, the alternating lighting means 7 stops its operation and the evaluation training ends. The longer the training time, the longer it is necessary to maintain the concentration for a long time. Therefore, it is set according to the subject's ability to maintain the concentration.

  The lighting duration is the time until the push button lit by the lighting control means 5 is automatically turned off, and is set according to the attention ability of the subject 16 and the degree of obstacle of the upper limb. The shorter the lighting duration, the higher the difficulty of evaluation training.

  The training time and the lighting duration time can be set using the training time changeover switch 9 and the lighting duration time changeover switch 10 provided on the operation surface 5.

  When the start button 12 is pressed and training is started, the push button 3 is lit. The push button 3 is lit at random according to a command from the control unit 8, and the push button to be lit next cannot be predicted. Accordingly, the subject 16 can be trained to pay attention to the entire area where the push button 3 is disposed. If the test button 16 that the subject 16 is lit is found and pressed during the lighting duration time, the answer is correct if the push button 3 that is not lit is pressed, and if no push button can be pressed, no answer is given. The number of occurrences is added to the number recording means provided in 1 and recorded. If the test subject 16 presses the push button 3 and the answer is correct, the correct answer time from when the push button 3 is lit until it is pressed is recorded in the correct answer time recording means.

  By analyzing the correct answer time recorded in the legitimate time recording means, it is possible to perform evaluation training for obstacles to the visual speed based on attention deficit or the like.

  3 and 4 show the results of evaluation training for attention deficit disorder. The training time was 240 seconds and the lighting duration was 1.6 seconds. Evaluation training is performed for all push buttons 3 arranged on the case 2, and the vertical axis shows the number of correct answers acquired from the number recording means, and the horizontal axis shows the training time every 24 seconds. The number of correct answers is shown by a bar graph for each time segment. In the bar graph, the correct answer time obtained from the correct answer time recording means was painted with a good reaction time of 1.3 seconds as a boundary. The shaded part of the bar graph indicates the number of correct answers within the good response time, and the white part indicates the number of correct answers that require a longer time than the good reaction time. FIG. 3 shows the result of the subject 16a having no disability, and FIG. 4 shows the result of the subject 16b having attention deficit.

  As a result, in FIG. 3, the subject “a” correctly answers within about 40% to 50% of the good response time in the entire training time, whereas in FIG. 4, the subject 16b has almost all correct answers longer than the good response time. You can see that it was hanging. Thus, it can be seen that the subject 16b has a clear attention deficit disorder. By using the device 1 of the present application, it was possible to quantitatively evaluate the degree of failure of a subject who has a failure in viewing speed. Furthermore, the visual recognition speed can be improved by repeating the evaluation training. The reason why the number of correct answers within the good response time is small in the first time segment of FIG. 3 is that the subject 16a is unfamiliar with the evaluation training.

  Moreover, although evaluation training is normally performed using the area | region A which includes all the pushbuttons 3 arrange | positioned on the case 2 as shown in FIG. 1, the test subject who has just started training or a test subject with a small body trains. In addition, it is possible to train using a region B narrower than the region A. Region B is a part of region A, and an optimal range can be set for the subject to train. For example, when the area B is selected, only the push buttons 3 in the range arranged in the vertical 4 rows and the horizontal 6 rows are controlled by the control unit 8, and the push buttons 3 in the horizontal 1 row on the upper and lower sides of the area B are set not to be lit. be able to.

  Whether the training is performed in the region A or the region B can be switched by the region switching switch 8 provided on the operation surface 5. The subject 16 and the operator can confirm in which area the training is performed by displaying the area displayed on the area display unit 7.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the table shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is divided into four quadrants by dividing the region A vertically and horizontally as seen from the subject 16, and during the time when the alternate lighting means 7 is executed. This is a result of performing evaluation training by controlling the number of times the push button is lit to be equal in each quadrant. The upper left quadrant is quadrant I, the upper right quadrant is quadrant II, the lower left quadrant is quadrant III, and the lower left quadrant is quadrant IV.

  The number of occurrences of correct answers, wrong answers, and no answers recorded in the number recording means in the evaluation training is classified for each quadrant by the classification means, and the number of occurrences and the occurrence rate for each quadrant are output by the quadrant division output means. Based on the result output by the quadrant division output means, it is possible to perform an evaluation training on a visual field range disorder based on visual agnosia.

  The training time in the evaluation training was 240 seconds, and the lighting duration time was 1.6 seconds. The tables shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 correspond to quadrant I in the upper left, quadrant II in the upper right, quadrant III in the lower left, and quadrant IV in the lower right, and the number of correct answers, the number of incorrect answers, and A pie chart showing the number of no-answers, and the correct answer rate, the incorrect answer rate, and the no-answer rate are shown as numerical values. FIG. 5 shows the result of the subject 16c who does not have a disability, and FIG. 6 shows the result of the subject 16d having visual agnosia.

  As a result, in FIG. 5, subject 16c had a no-answer rate of less than 10% in all quadrants, whereas in FIG. 6, subject 16d was not in the right region (quadrant II and quadrant IV) of region A. It is shown that the non-response rate increases to 90% or more in the left region (quadrant I and quadrant III) of the region A even though the response rate is just over 10%. Thereby, it can be seen that the subject 16d has a visual agnostic disorder in the left visual field range. By using the device 1 of the present application, it was possible to achieve a quantitative evaluation of the degree and range of a subject having a visual field range disorder. Furthermore, the visual field range can be gradually improved by repeating the evaluation training.

  The result display section 6 displays the training result such as the number of correct answers by training or the ratio of the number of correct answers to the total number of push buttons lit during the training time.

  The apparatus configuration of the present invention is best configured as shown in FIG. 1, but is not limited to the apparatus configuration, and the operation surface 5 provided on the upper surface of the case 2. May be provided in the lower part of the surface of the case 2 lower than the push button 3, and may be provided with an operation surface having the same function on the side peripheral surface instead of in the surface of the case 2. Further, the control unit 6 may be provided outside the case 2 instead of inside.

  Further, the push button 3 may be arranged in a honeycomb shape or in such a manner that the push button 3 comes to the top of an equilateral triangle.

  The push button 3 may have a contact sensing means that senses that the subject 16 has touched the push button 3 by the control unit 8 by providing a touch sensor.

  Further, the operation of the push button 3 when the test subject pushes the push button 3 is not limited to being pushed down, and the push button may be depressed, or the push button itself may not be changed by being pushed.

  The material of the push button 3 may be a soft material made of resin that is deformed when pressed. By making the material soft, it is possible to avoid the risk of causing an accident such as a finger during training even when the hand of the subject 16 is inconvenient. The push button 3 is preferably formed of a material that can feel a pleasant or refreshing feeling when pressed. For example, the push button 3 may be formed of a low rebound agar material. Since the touch when the push button 3 is pressed has a pleasant feeling or a refreshing feeling, it is possible to increase the sustainability of the concentration power during the training of the subject 16.

  The output of the training result is not only displayed on the result display unit 6, but the sheet on which the result is printed may be discharged from the result output unit 11. It is also possible to print with an externally connected printer. Further, the result may be displayed on the monitor 15 connected to the device 1 of the present application.

It is a front view of this-application apparatus. It is the schematic in the case of connecting and using the external control apparatus 14 for this application apparatus 1. FIG. The evaluation training result regarding the attention deficit disorder | damage | failure is shown about the test subject 16a without a disorder | damage | failure. The evaluation training result regarding the disorder | damage | failure of attention deficit is shown about the test subject 16b who has attention deficit. The evaluation training regarding the disorder | damage | failure of the visual field range based on visual agnosia is shown about the test subject 16c who does not have a disorder | damage | failure. The evaluation training regarding the disorder | damage | failure of the visual field range based on visual agnosia is shown about the test subject 16d with visual agnosia. The situation where the region A is divided into four quadrants for the obstacle evaluation training based on visual field recognition is shown.
