Description

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

Like other mental processes, spatial perception and spatial memory of a person are disturbed by organic brain lesions caused by various neurological diseases.

Currently, various printing simulators are used for classes to restore disturbed spatial perception, one of which is a type of simulators based on work with a cube scan.

For example, the printing simulator “1000 exercises for the development of logic, attention, memory” is known, on the printed sheets of which there is one scan of a cube (cube), each face of which contains 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 VG 1000 exercises for the development of logic, attention, memory. For children from 3 to 6 years old - Moscow: AST Publishing, 2017, pp 77, 91, 158)..

The disadvantages of this simulator when using it for classes to restore spatial perception and spatial memory in patients with a neurological clinic are:

a) this simulator is not intended for classes on the restoration of spatial memory;

b) insufficient amount of working material contained in this printing simulator for conducting long courses to restore spatial perception;

c) the images contained in this printing simulator are made for classes with children from 3 to 6 years old and therefore can cause a negative reaction in adult patients of a neurological clinic;

d) 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.

As for the disturbed spatial memory, various printing simulators and devices are also used for classes on its restoration.

So, a simulator is known in which four rows of arrows are located on a printed sheet, differing in direction: left, right, up, down. The student needs to memorize them for one and a half minutes, and then reproduce them from memory on a separate sheet of paper (Angels Navarro, Memory does not change. Tasks and puzzles for the development of intelligence and memory, M.: Mann, Ivanov and Ferber, 2017. - p. 102).

The disadvantages of this simulator when using it for classes to restore spatial perception and spatial memory in patients of a neurological clinic "are:

a) this simulator is not intended for classes to restore spatial perception;

b) insufficient amount of working material contained in this printing simulator for conducting long courses to restore spatial memory;

c) the presence of only four options for the spatial orientation of the arrows: top-bottom, left-right;

d) the need for a solid horizontal surface to perform graphical actions;

e) the difficulty of performing graphic operations for patients in a neurological clinic with the presence of hand tremor and impaired fine motor skills;

f) low interest in classes with materials of printing simulators in a number of patients in a neurological clinic due to the monotony of working with them.

Also known from the existing level of technology is “A simulator device for training to restore impaired spatial memory in patients of a neurological clinic” (Patent RU 168971 U1, published 02.28.2017).

Structurally, this device consists of a plastic box-shaped case with a height of 20-30 mm and a size from 100x100 to 200x200 mm, inside which an LED backlight is installed, and a transparent and matte plate are fixed on top of the case, between which there is an internal cavity into which work cards are placed, on which are marked with various images, for example, arrows pointing in different directions. Hidden from the patient, thanks to the matte plate, the images of the arrows become visible after the LED backlight is turned on for a certain time. The patient needs to remember the location and direction of the arrows, and after turning off the LED backlight, apply them with a memory marker on the matte plate.

The disadvantages of this device when it is used for classes to restore spatial perception and spatial memory in patients with a neurological clinic are:

a) this device is intended primarily for the restoration of spatial memory;

b) the difficulty of performing graphic actions for patients with tremor of the hands or impaired fine motor skills;

c) the inconvenience of occupations with the device for bed patients due to the need to hold in one hand a device whose dimensions can be 200x200 mm;

d) the technical complexity of manufacturing a device that includes various electronic components (LEDs, switch, etc.).

In order to overcome the above drawbacks, a “Magnetic cube simulator for training to restore spatial perception and spatial memory in patients with a neurological clinic” (hereinafter referred to as “magnetic cube simulator”) was developed.

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

a) providing the possibility of conducting classes both to restore impaired spatial perception, and to restore impaired spatial memory in patients of a neurological clinic;

b) providing the opportunity to conduct classes with bedridden patients;

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 the expansion of the functionality of the “Simulator device for classes to restore impaired spatial memory in patients of a neurological clinic” provided by the structural elements of a “magnetic cube simulator” that allows classes aimed at restoring spatial perception with patients in a neurological clinic , and to restore spatial memory, while providing the opportunity for classes with immobile patients.

This technical result is ensured due to the fact that the “magnetic cube simulator” contains a hollow body made of plastic, having the shape of a cube with rounded edges, the length of the rib is 75-85 mm, and a square recess is made on each of the six faces of the body with a side size of 55-65 mm, in which a metal plate made of metal with magnetic properties is rigidly fixed, which ensures the fixation of magnetic cards installed in the recesses with the image of any symbol, f Mountains or object with different spatial orientation, and the center of each of the twelve edges of the housing recess is formed 20-25 mm, intended for the convenience of extracting magnetic cards of the recesses of the housing.

The size of the side of the recess (2) in the housing (1) of the “magnetic cube-simulator” is 55-65 mm, and the depth is 1.5-2.5 mm.

The metal plate (3) has a square shape with a side size of 30-40 mm, and a thickness of 0.5-1 mm.

In the center of each of the twelve ribs of the housing (1) there is a recess (4) of a stepped shape with a width of 20-25 mm and a depth of 8-15 mm, designed to facilitate the removal of magnetic cards (5) from the recesses (2) of the housing (1) "magnetic training cube. "

The following can be used as magnetic cards (5) when working with the “magnetic cube simulator”: a) specially made magnetic cards; b) existing, which are produced by industry for various domestic purposes.

Magnetic cards specially made to work with the “magnetic cube simulator” must correspond to the dimensions of the recesses (2) in the housing (1).

As existing magnetic cards, for example, square acrylic magnets can be used, which are transparent plates 65x65 mm in size, inside of which paper inserts 57x57 mm in size with any images are installed, and a magnetic plate is fixed below, which allows fixing on a metal surface ( Online store "Limag", Acrylic magnet 65x65 mm transparent, found on 01.04.2018 on the Internet at http://www.leemag.su/product_by_id/52809763?ymclid=223631675981494825000005).

A set of magnetic cards (5) installed in the recesses (2) of the body (1) of the “magnetic cube simulator” consists of 6 (six) pieces that contain images of a symbol, figure or object with different spatial orientation (position), for example oriented vertically (horizontally) and diagonally arrows (see. Fig. 3, 4).

When using existing acrylic magnets (see link above), images of a symbol, figure or object with different spatial orientation (position) are applied to paper inserts that are installed inside acrylic magnets.

For classes with the “magnetic cube simulator”, a special printed manual is used, consisting of a group of work cards (6), on each side of which there is an image (7) of a scan of the “magnetic cube simulator” (see link below) containing images of or a symbol, figure or object with a different spatial orientation (see. Fig. 3, 4).

Images (7) of scans of the “magnetic cube simulator” on work cards (6) have various options that make it possible to use tasks of varying degrees of difficulty (Cube scans, found on April 01, 2018 on the Internet at http://uslide.ru /images/12/18852/960/img15.jpg).

 Work with the “Magnetic cube simulator for classes on the restoration of spatial perception and spatial memory in patients of a neurological clinic” is carried out as follows:

Before the start of the lesson, the patient holding the “magnetic cube simulator” in his hand, removes with his other hand all magnetic cards (5) from the recesses (2) of the case (1) grabbing them with his fingers over the area located above the recess (4) in the case (1) .

In the event that work is carried out to restore spatial perception, the patient selects one of the work cards (6) of the attached print and sequentially installs magnetic cards (5) in the recesses (2) of the “magnetic cube simulator” case (1) (see FIG. . 2) in accordance with the image (7) of the scan (see Fig. 3, 4) on the working card (6).

If the work is carried out to restore spatial memory, the patient selects one of the working cards (6) and for some time (10 or more seconds) remembers the image (7) of the scan of the “magnetic cube simulator”, then closes this working card (6) with a blank sheet of paper.

 After that, the patient installs magnetic cards (5) in the recesses (2) of the body (1) of the “magnetic cube simulator” (see FIG. 2) in accordance with the stored image (7) of its sweep (see FIG. 3, four).

If the patient has difficulties during the task, he can briefly lift a sheet of paper covering the work card (6), and thus receive a hint.

After the installation of all magnetic cards (5) is completed, the patient checks the correctness of the task by comparing the location of the magnetic cards (5) on a real “magnetic cube simulator” with the image (7) of its sweep on the working card (6).

Next, the patient removes all magnetic cards (5) from the recesses (2) of the body (1) of the “magnetic cube simulator”, selects a new work card (6), and the entire sequence of steps described above is repeated.

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

a) during corrective developmental classes with children with impaired formation of spatial perception and spatial memory;

b) when conducting neurocognitive training with people of advanced and senile age who have impaired spatial perception and spatial memory;

c) as a fun educational game designed to develop spatial perception and spatial memory in healthy children.

Thus, the “magnetic cube simulator” allows you to conduct long-term classes with patients at the neurological clinic, aimed both at restoring spatial perception and at restoring spatial memory, while ensuring the possibility of conducting 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.
