Description

This useful model relates to medicine in the section of neurology and neuropsychology and can be used in neurorehabilitation departments of neurological and neurosurgical clinics when conducting classes to restore visual-spatial perception and memory in patients of a neurological clinic.

Like other mental processes, the visual-spatial perception and memory of a person is impaired by organic lesions of the brain caused by various neurological diseases.

At present, various printing simulators are used for classes to restore impaired visual and spatial perception.

So, a simulator is known, on the printed sheets of which there is one scan of a cube (cube), on each face of which there are various images (animals, geometric figures, numbers) and next to the scan of a cube (cube) there are 3-5 options for cubes (cubes) containing similar images, from which the student must choose one cube (cube) that corresponds to a given scan (Dmitrieva V.G. 1000 exercises for the development of logic, attention, memory. For children from 3 to 6 years, - Moscow: ACT Publishing House, 2017, p. 77, 91, 158).

The disadvantages of this simulator when using it for classes to restore visual-spatial perception and memory in patients of a neurological clinic are that this simulator is not intended for classes to restore visual-spatial memory; has an insufficient amount of working material for conducting long courses to restore visual-spatial memory; in addition, images used for classes with children from 3 to 6 years old can cause a negative reaction in adult patients of a neurological clinic; It should also be noted that there is a low interest in occupations with materials of printing simulators in a number of patients in a neurological clinic due to the monotony of working with them.

For classes on the restoration of impaired visual-spatial memory in patients of a neurological clinic, various printing simulators and devices are also used.

In particular, a printing simulator is known in which seven geometric figures are located on the upper half of a printed sheet, each of which is painted in a specific color. The student needs to remember the image data in 30 seconds, after which these figures are closed with a sheet of paper and they must be drawn from memory on the lower half of the sheet (L. Mavrina, Yu. Vasilieva, Tests. Is the child ready for school. Memory, logic, attention, Moscow , LLC “Dragonfly”, 2014, p. 39).

The disadvantages of this simulator when using it for classes to restore visual-spatial perception and memory in patients of a neurological clinic ”are: insufficient amount of working material contained in this printing simulator for long-term courses to restore visual-spatial memory; the inability to change the degree of complexity of the tasks offered to the patient; the images contained in this printing simulator are intended for preschool children and therefore can cause a negative reaction in adult patients of a neurological clinic; the need for a solid horizontal surface to perform graphic operations on the printed sheets of the simulator; difficulties in performing graphic operations for patients in a neurological clinic with the presence of hand tremor and impaired fine motor skills; inconvenience of conducting classes with bedridden patients of a neurological clinic; low interest in training with materials of printing simulators in a number of patients in a neurological clinic due to the monotony of working with them.

Also, from the current level of technology, a simulator device is known for generating tasks during classes to restore visual-spatial memory in patients of a neurological clinic which consists of a plastic case with sizes from 100 × 100 to 250 × 250 mm, the inner space of which is divided into cells in each of which are four LEDs of different colors, and in the upper part of the housing is fixed a work plate, with an internal cavity located under it, into which work cards containing the image of geometric shapes made in white on a dark background. Images hidden from the patient become visible on the working plate after they are randomly illuminated by LEDs of different colors. The patient needs to remember the location and color of each geometric figure, and after turning off the LEDs, draw their contours with colored markers on the surface of the working plate from memory (Patent RU 169473 U1, published 03/21/2017).

The disadvantages of this device when it is used for classes to restore visual-spatial perception and memory in patients of a neurological clinic are that this device is intended primarily for the restoration of visual-spatial memory, while it is inconvenient for bedridden patients due to the need to keep in one arm of the device, the dimensions of which can be 250 × 250 mm; the device is also technically difficult to manufacture, since it includes various electronic components (LEDs, switch, etc.)

In order to overcome the above drawbacks, a “Magnetic cube simulator for training to restore visual and spatial perception and memory in patients of a neurological clinic” (hereinafter referred to as “magnetic cube simulator”) based on work with a cube scan has been developed.

The tasks to be solved by the claimed technical solution are:

a) providing the opportunity to conduct classes both to restore visual-spatial perception, and to restore visual-spatial memory;

b) providing the opportunity to conduct classes with bedridden patients of a neurological clinic;

c) ensuring the possibility of conducting long courses of rehabilitation education;

d) ensuring the compact design of the “magnetic cube simulator” to realize the possibility of conducting classes in various conditions;

e) the simplicity of the design of the “magnetic cube simulator”, contributing to its widespread adoption in the practice of working with patients in a neurological clinic.

The technical result of the claimed utility model is to expand the functionality of the magnetic cube simulator, provided by its structural elements, allowing classes with the patients of the neurological clinic aimed both at restoring visual-spatial perception and at restoring visual-spatial memory, while providing the opportunity conducting classes with bedridden patients.

The technical result is achieved by creating a magnetic cube simulator for training to restore visual and spatial perception and memory in patients of a neurological clinic containing a body made of plastic, while the body is hollow, light in color, in the form of a cube with rounded edges, the length of the ribs which is 40-50 mm, and the wall thickness is 3-4 mm, round recesses with a diameter of 20-30 mm and a depth of 2-4 mm are made on the faces, a metal plate with magnetic properties, designed to ensure the fixation of the magnet chips installed in the recesses, the thickness of each metal plate being 0.5-1 mm, and its shape and dimensions correspond to the shape and size of the recesses, numbers are plotted on the front surface of the metal plates in random order.

In a preferred embodiment, the magnet chips are made of plastic with a magnet inside, in different colors, for example, white, yellow, red, blue, green, gray and have a cylindrical shape, with a diameter of 30 mm, a height of 10 mm, in the upper part of which there is a protruding bead.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated by drawings.

In FIG. 1 is a general view of a “magnetic cube simulator” without magnet chips;

In FIG. 2 is a general view of a “magnetic cube simulator” with magnet chips installed;

In FIG. 3-6 are examples of the front and back sides of the working cards of the printed manual for classes with the “magnetic cube simulator”.

The inventive "magnetic cube simulator" contains (see Fig. 1) a housing (1) made of light-colored plastic, hollow, having a cube shape with rounded edges (4), the length of the ribs of which is 40-50 mm, and the wall thickness 3-4 mm.

On each face (4) of the housing (1), recesses (2) are made of a round shape, and inside each face (4), a metal plate (3) made of metal with magnetic properties is rigidly fixed (for example, by gluing) to ensure fixation of the magnet chips (5) installed in the recesses (2) (see Fig. 2).

The diameter of the recesses (2) is 20-30 mm and depends on the diameter of the lower part of the used magnet chips (5), and the depth is 2-4 mm.

The thickness of the metal plate (3) is 0.5-1 mm, and its shape and dimensions correspond to the shape and size of the recesses (2).

On the front surface of each metal plate (3), numbers (8) are randomly printed (for example, with dark paint), which are one of the numbers: “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5” , "6". Thus, each recess (2) has its own number (8) located on a metal plate (3).

Magnetic holders for boards, for example, “Mash Hebel” (Procurement Territory online store, Magnetic holder for boards Maul Hebel, diameter, 30 mm, can be used as magnet chips (5) on January 15, 2018 on the Internet at http : //my-zakup.ru/magnitnyiy-derzhatel-dlya-dosok-maul-hebel-diametr-30-mm).

Magnetic holders “Maul Hebeb are multi-colored plastic chips of a cylindrical shape with a magnet inside, with a diameter of 30 mm, a height of 10 mm. A protruding collar is made in the upper part of the plastic magnet-chip (5), making it convenient and easy to install and remove from various surfaces.

The set of magnet chips (5) installed on the faces (4) of the housing (1) is 6 (six) pieces, which differ in color, for example, white, yellow, red, blue, green, gray.

In the course of training with the “cube simulator”, a printed manual is used, consisting of a group of work cards (6), each of which on the front side contains an image (7a) of a scan of the “magnetic cube simulator” (see Fig. 3, 5), with circles of different colors (similar to the colors of the magnet chips (5)), and on the back there is an image (7b) of the side projection of the “magnetic cube simulator” (see Fig. 4, 6) drawn up in exact accordance with the image (7a) sweep of the “magnetic cube simulator” located on the front side of this work card (6).

Images (7a) of the sweep of the “magnetic cube simulator” on the working cards (6) are presented in various versions.

A magnetic cube simulator for training to restore visual-spatial perception and memory in patients of a neurological clinic works as follows:

Before starting the lesson, the patient, holding the “magnetic cube simulator” in his hand, removes with his other hand all the magnet chips (5) from the recesses (2) of the faces (4) of the body (1).

If work is being carried out to restore spatial perception, the patient selects one of the work cards (6) of the attached printbook and has it in front of him. Next, the patient sequentially installs chips-magnets (5) of different colors in the recesses (2) of the faces (4) of the body (1) (see Fig. 2) in accordance with the location of the colored circles in the image (7a) of the scan of the “magnetic cube simulator” located on the front side of the used work card (6) (see Fig. 3).

After the installation of all the chips-magnets (5), the patient turns the working card (6) upside down and checks the correctness of the task by comparing the location of the chips-magnets (5) on a real "magnetic cube simulator" with the image (7b) of the side the projection of the "magnetic cube simulator" on the back of the working card (6) (see Fig. 4).

If the work is being done to restore the visual-spatial memory, the patient selects one of the working cards (6), turns it upside down and for some time (from 10 or more seconds) remembers the image (7b) of the side projection of the “magnetic cube simulator ”(see Fig. 4), after which it closes this work card (6) with a clean sheet of paper.

After this, the patient sets in memory the magnet chips (5) of different colors in the recesses (2) of the faces (4) of the housing (1) (see Fig. 2) in accordance with the memorized image (7b) of the side projection of the “magnetic cube simulator” (see Fig. 3).

Lastly, the patient installs the remaining magnet chip (5), which is not visible in the image (7b) of the side projection of the “magnetic cube simulator”.

If a patient has difficulties in determining the location of a magnet chip (5) of any color, he can briefly lift a sheet of paper covering the work card (6) and thus receive a hint.

After the installation of all the chips-magnets (5), the patient checks the correctness of the task by comparing the location of the chips-magnets (5) on a real "magnetic cube simulator" with the image (7b) of the side projection of the "magnetic cube simulator" on the back of the working cards (6).

Next, the patient removes all the magnet chips (5) from the recesses (2) of the faces (4) of the body (1) of the “magnetic cube simulator”, selects a new work card (6) with the task, and the whole sequence of actions described above is repeated.

A more complex version of the task aimed at restoring visual-spatial memory is the exercise, which consists in the fact that the patient for some time remembers the location of the colored circles in the image (7a) of the scan of the “magnetic cube simulator” located on the front side of the working card ( 6) (see Fig. 3), after which, from memory, it places chips-magnets (5) in the recesses (2) of the faces (4) of the housing (1) of the “magnetic cube simulator” (see Fig. 2).

Verification of the correctness of the task is carried out by comparing the location of the magnet chips (5) on a real “magnetic cube simulator” with the image (7b) of the side projection of the “magnetic cube simulator” on the back of this work card (6) (see Fig. 4 )

Work with the “magnetic cube-simulator” can be carried out without the use of work cards (6), in another way, based on the use of numbers (8), printed on the front surface of each metal plate (3).

This method consists in the fact that the patient installs in a random order chips-magnets (5) in the recesses (2) of the faces (4) of the body (1), while remembering the number (8) and the color of the magnet-chips (5) installed in this recess (2). For example, the green chip magnet (5) is installed in the recess (2) with the first number (8), the yellow chip magnet (5) is installed in the recess (2) with the second number (8), etc.

After the installation of all the chips-magnets (5), the patient needs to remove them as follows:

a) in a direct order, starting with the magnet chip (5) installed in the recess (2) with the first number (8) and ending with the magnet chip (5) installed in the recess (2) with the sixth number (8);

b) in the reverse order, starting with the magnet chip (5) installed in the recess (2) with the sixth number (8) and ending with the magnet chip (5) installed in the recess (2) with the first number (8);

c) in any other order specified by the specialist.

The procedure for performing these actions is recorded in the protocol of the lesson.

Along with the use of a “magnetic cube simulator” for restoring visual-spatial perception and memory in patients of a neurological clinic, it can be widely used in the following cases:

a) during the preventive training of visual-spatial memory in patients of a neurological clinic;

b) when conducting correctional and developmental classes with children with visual and spatial perception and memory impairments;

c) during neurocognitive trainings with people of advanced and senile age;

d) as a simulator of visual-spatial memory, intended for classes with healthy children and adults.

Thus, the claimed utility model provides an extension of the functionality of the magnetic cube simulator, since it is easy to manage for patients in a neurological clinic. And the control prostate is supported by the presence of a magnetic cube with recesses, a metal plate and chips of magnets of various colors, allowing classes with patients at the neurological clinic to both restore visual-spatial perception and restore visual-spatial memory, while providing the possibility of classes with bedridden patients.

The proposed “magnetic cube simulator” introduces an element of novelty into the process of rehabilitation classes with patients, turning them into an interesting and attractive training for patients.
