Description

The game panel simulator for group exercises to restore fine motor skills, visual-spatial memory and intellectual activity in patients of a neurological clinic

This useful model relates to medicine in the field of neurology and neuropsychology and can be used in the departments of neurorehabilitation of neurological and neurosurgical clinics when conducting group exercises to restore fine motor skills, visual-spatial memory and intellectual activity in patients of a neurological clinic with organic brain lesions of various etiologies.

Of great importance for the effectiveness of restorative education are the forms of its organization, which are used during classes with patients with disorders of various mental functions.

Methods and forms of organization of restorative education should take into account the social nature of a person and create conditions for maximizing the use of all human capabilities and abilities, using the influence of the social environment and other social factors on a sick person (Tsvetkova L.S. Aphasia and restorative education. M; Moscow psychological -Social Institute of Voronezh: Publishing house NPO "MODEK", 2001, p. 81, 82).

One of the forms of organization of rehabilitation education, which is based on the use of the social environment and other social factors, is the group form of classes, which helps to increase the efficiency of restoration of impaired mental functions, expanding and complementing individual lessons with a specialist and independent studies of patients during their stay in a neurological clinic .

Group lessons allow you to realize primarily the activity of communication and impact on the patient’s personality through the mechanisms of a small social group: interpersonal interaction, cooperation, cooperation, competition, etc. (Tsvetkova L.S. Aphasia and restorative education. M; Moscow Psychological and Social Institute Voronezh: Publishing house NPO MODEK, 2001, p. 9).

According to Marvin Shaw, a specialist in group dynamics, a small social group is a community consisting of two or more interacting and influencing individuals (Myers D. Social Psychology. - St. Petersburg: Peter, 1997).

The use of a group form of classes helps to increase the effectiveness of rehabilitation training when working on the restoration of various mental functions in patients with a neurological clinic, including visual-spatial memory and intellectual activity, as well as motor functions, including fine motor skills of the fingers.

To restore impaired fine motor skills of fingers in patients of a neurological clinic, various simulators are used to ensure the inclusion of fingers in various movements, one of which is the rotation of the fingers of a small object.

So, from the existing level of technology, the “Panel Nut Screw Treadmill Trainer” is known, designed to restore fine motor skills by performing hand-tightening / unscrewing exercises with your fingers (MEDBUY Online Store, Panel “Screw Tightener Trainer”, found in on the Internet May 22, 2018 at the address http://medbuy.ru/oborudovanie-dlya-ergoterapii/dvm-panel-dlya-zakruchivaniya-gaek).

Structurally, this simulator is a wooden three-stage base, 200x300 mm in size, each step of which has four screws with nuts of different sizes. The total weight of the simulator is 1 kg.

Also, from the existing level of technology, the "Panel Screws Exercise Machine" is known, designed to restore fine motor skills by performing finger-screwing and unscrewing exercises. (The MEDBUY online store, The Panel with Screws simulator, was found on the Internet on May 22, 2018 at http://medbuy.ru/oborudovanie-dlya-ergoterapii/dvm-panel-s-vintami).

Structurally, this simulator is a similar wooden three-stage base with dimensions of 200x300 mm, on each step of which four different types of screws are installed. The total weight of the simulator is 1 kg.

The disadvantages of these simulators when used during group exercises to restore fine motor skills, visual-spatial memory and intellectual activity in patients with a neurological clinic are:

a) the limited capabilities of these simulators when they are used in group classes, as they are designed for individual classes;

b) the uniformity and monotony of the movements performed by patients on tightening-unscrewing nuts and screwing in and out screws, which can lead to a decrease in interest in classes and fatigue of patients;

c) the difficulty of performing these actions for patients who did not have previous experience with nuts and screws, so this activity is unusual for them and ineffective for restoring fine motor skills;

d) these simulators are intended exclusively for classes in the restoration of fine motor skills and are not intended for classes in the restoration of visual-spatial memory and intellectual activity.

Also, from the existing level of technology is known “Cork simulator for group exercises to restore fine motor skills and intellectual activity in patients with a neurological clinic” (Patent RU 176911 U1, published 01.02.2018)

Structurally, this simulator contains two identical plastic cases movably connected in a single block from 200x200 to 250x250 mm in size, nine of which are made inside one, and sixteen cylindrical protrusions with an external thread inside the other, on which plastic plugs are wound during the Tic-Tac-Toe game - chips with images of "crosses" and "zeroes".

Thus, along with group exercises to restore fine motor skills, this simulator provides the ability to work on restoring intellectual activity in patients of a neurological clinic.

The disadvantages of this simulator when using it during group exercises to restore fine motor skills, visual-spatial memory and intellectual activity in patients with a neurological clinic are:

a) this simulator is designed for classes in restoring fine motor skills and intellectual activity, and is not intended for classes in restoring visual-spatial memory;

b) for practicing with this simulator, you must have a horizontal surface, since it consists of two movably connected cases, which, when unfolding, require support;

c) the inconvenience of training with this simulator for bedridden patients due to the difficulty of holding it in one hand, since there are no handles on its body.

In order to overcome the above disadvantages, a “Game panel simulator for group exercises to restore fine motor skills, visual-spatial memory and intellectual activity in patients of a neurological clinic” (hereinafter referred to as the “game panel simulator”) was developed.

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

a) providing the possibility of using the "game panel-simulator" during group classes;

b) the universality of the "game panel-simulator", which consists in the possibility of conducting classes not only to restore fine motor skills and intellectual activity, but also visual and spatial memory.

c) providing the possibility of training with a "game panel-simulator" of bedridden patients of a neurological clinic;

d) providing the opportunity to conduct classes with a "game panel-simulator" in the absence of a horizontal surface, for example, on patients' walks;

d) ensuring the convenience of holding in your hand the "game panel-simulator";

e) the simplicity of the design of the "game panel-simulator", ensuring its widespread adoption in clinical practice;

g) the use of ready-made elements that simplify the manufacture and reduce the cost of the "game panel simulator".

The technical result of the claimed utility model is the expansion of the functionality of the “Cork simulator for group exercises to restore fine motor skills and intellectual activity in patients of a neurological clinic”, which is provided by the structural elements of the claimed “game simulator panel” that allows carrying out fine motor training along with classes and intellectual activity, classes for the restoration of visual-spatial memory, while providing the opportunity the ability to conduct classes with bedridden patients, as well as in any conditions in the absence of a horizontal surface.

This technical result is ensured due to the fact that the “game panel simulator” contains a rectangular plate made of plastic with dimensions of 150x200-200x250 mm, on the front surface of which there is a marking in the form of vertical and horizontal lines forming square cells of the same size on its surface, the center of each of which is made a hollow cylindrical protrusion with an external thread for winding plastic plugs, chips, the upper surfaces of which contain images of symbols, and the bottoms Ashena in various colors; the threaded diameter and height of the cylindrical protrusions are made to fit the threaded diameter and height of the existing 24 mm screw plastic plugs, and holes are made on the back of the plate, the number, location and diameter of which correspond to the number, location and inner diameter of the cylindrical protrusions, two lateral sides of the plate are made through cutouts of an elongated shape.

In a preferred embodiment of the “gaming simulator panel”, the thickness of the rectangular plate is 3-5 mm.

In a preferred embodiment of the “gaming simulator panel”, markings in the form of vertical and horizontal lines form 9 or 16 square cells of the same size on the surface of the plate.

In a preferred embodiment of the “gaming simulator panel”, the wall thickness of the cylindrical protrusion is 2-3 mm.

In a preferred embodiment of the "game panel-simulator", the cylindrical protrusions can also be made for the threaded diameter and height of the existing 28 mm screw plastic plugs.

The essence of the utility model "The game panel simulator for group exercises to restore fine motor skills, visual-spatial memory and intellectual activity in patients of a neurological clinic" is illustrated by the drawings, which depict:

In FIG. 1 - the front side of the "game panel-simulator" with 16 cells without traffic jams;

In FIG. 2 - an example of the front side of the "game panel-simulator" with cork-chips during classes to restore intellectual activity through the game "Tic-tac-toe";

In FIG. 3 is an example of the reverse side of the “game panel-simulator” with traffic jams during the lessons on the restoration of visual and spatial memory through the game “Memori”.

The inventive "game panel simulator" is a rectangular plate made of plastic (1) of a light color with rounded edges (see Fig. 1), on the front surface of which cylindrical protrusions (4) are made.

The dimensions of the plate (1) are 150x200-200x250 mm, and the thickness is 3-5 mm.

On the front surface of the plate (1), markings are applied with dark paint in the form of vertical and horizontal lines (2), forming 9 or 16 square cells (3) of the same size on the surface.

In the center of each cell (3), a hollow cylindrical protrusion (4) is made with an external thread designed to wind plastic plugs (7).

The wall thickness of the cylindrical protrusion (4) is 2-3 mm, and its threaded diameter and height are made to the threaded diameter and height of the existing 24 mm screw plastic plugs. Also, cylindrical protrusions can be made for the threaded diameter and height of existing 28 mm screw plastic caps (YES-UPAK online store) Packaging-marking, caps, caps, caps for PET bottles, found on 05/20/2018 in the network Internet at http://yes-upak.ru/pet-krishki-probki-kolpachki-dlja-butylok.html).

On the back side of the plate (1), holes (5) are made, the number, location and diameter of which correspond to the number, location and inner diameter of the cylindrical protrusions (4).

These openings (5) provide patients with the opportunity to see the bottoms of plug plugs (7) screwed onto cylindrical protrusions (4) during classes to restore visual and spatial memory through the Memori game.

Through two sides of the plate (1), through cutouts (6) of elongated shape are made, which provide the convenience of holding the "game panel-simulator" in the hand during the classes.

As plugs-chips (7) when working with the “game panel-simulator”, existing industrially produced screw plastic plugs (see link above) are used, the threaded diameter and height of which correspond to the external threaded diameter and the height of the cylindrical protrusions (4).

At the same time, existing traffic jams are finalized as follows:

a) the image of symbols in the form of “X” (cross) or “O” (toe) is applied with dark paint to the upper surface of the plugs-chips (7), which provides the possibility of conducting classes to restore intellectual activity through the game “Tic-tac-toe” (see Fig. 2);

b) the bottoms of each cork-chip (7) is painted in different colors (see Fig. 3), and each color should be repeated on two cork-chips (7), which provides the possibility of conducting classes to restore visual-spatial memory through the game " Memori ”(see. Fig. 3).

To store and carry the "game panel-simulator", a cover made of plastic or fabric material (not shown in the figures) is used.

The "Game simulator panel for group exercises on restoring fine motor skills, visual-spatial memory and intellectual activity in patients of a neurological clinic" works as follows:

Before the start of the group session, the patients alternately unscrew (restoration of fine motor skills) all cork-chips (7) located on the cylindrical protrusions (4) (see Fig. 1), placing the “game simulator panel” on the surface of the desktop or holding it by the side parts of the plate (1) in which cutouts (6) are made.

If, during the course of the lesson, work will be carried out on the restoration of intellectual activity through the game “Tic-Tac-Toe,” all the cork chips (7) are divided equally between the patients in such a way that one patient receives cork chips (7) with the image “ X ”, and the other patient - cork-chips (7) with the image“ O ”.

Further, one of the patients makes the first move by twisting (restoring fine motor skills) of the cork-chip (7) with the image “X” on one of the cylindrical protrusions (4), after which the other patient makes the next move, turning them around (restoring fine motor skills) ) cork-chip (7) with the image "O" on another cylindrical protrusion (4), etc. (see Fig. 2).

 When performing each subsequent move, patients need to think it over by analyzing the relative position of the plug-chips (7) on the “game simulator panel” (restoration of intellectual activity).

The winner is, in accordance with the rules of the game “Tic-Tac-Toe,” the one who first collects a row (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) of four identical cork-chips (7).

If during the lesson work will be carried out on the restoration of visual and spatial memory through the game "Memori", patients will wind up (restoration of fine motor skills) in a random order all the plugs (7) on cylindrical ledges (4).

Further, the “game panel-simulator” is turned upside down (see Fig. 3), and patients get the opportunity through the holes (5) in the plate (1) to see the color of the bottoms of the plug-chips (7) wound onto cylindrical protrusions (4 )

After that, patients for a certain time (from 20 seconds or more) memorize (restoration of visual-spatial memory) the spatial arrangement of cork-chips (7) with a different color of the bottoms, after which the “game simulator panel” returns to its original position, and is located face up

Next, one of the patients makes the first move, unscrewing two cork-chips (7), the bottoms of which, in his opinion, have the same color (restoration of visual-spatial memory).

When. if the color of the bottoms of the unscrewed plug-chips (7) matches, then the patient takes the unscrewed plug-chips (7) for himself.

If the colors of the bottoms of the unscrewed plug-chips (7) do not match, then the patient returns the data of the plug-chips (7) to their original place, twisting them (restoring fine motor skills) to the same cylindrical protrusions (4).

Further, another patient makes the next move and the above sequence of actions is repeated a certain number of times until the end of the game.

 The game ends when all the plugs (7) are twisted from the cylindrical protrusions (4) of the "game panel-simulator". The winner is the patient who correctly unscrewed a larger number of plug-chips (7).

After the end of the lesson, patients alternately wind up (restoring fine motor skills) in a random order of the cork-chip (7) on the cylindrical protrusions (4), and the “game simulator panel” is removed into the cover.

The effectiveness of using the “game panel-simulator” during group exercises to restore fine motor skills, visual-spatial memory and intellectual activity in patients of a neurological clinic is connected with the fact that social factors affecting the mental sphere of patients through the mechanisms of a small social group are included in the process of training: interpersonal interaction, cooperation, cooperation, competition. In addition, it is important that in case of lack of motivation for classes in one patient, he is prompted to classes by another patient.

The importance of the “game panel-simulator” lies in the fact that its use introduces an element of novelty into the process of rehabilitation classes with patients, turning them into a fascinating and interesting training for patients.

Along with group exercises to restore fine motor skills, visual-spatial memory and intellectual activity in patients of a neurological clinic, the “game panel simulator” can be effectively used in a number of other cases:

a) when conducting neurocognitive trainings with elderly people with impaired fine motor skills, visual-spatial memory and intellectual activity;

b) when conducting correctional and developmental classes with children with impaired formation of fine motor skills, visual-spatial memory and intellectual activity;

c) as an exciting educational game aimed at the development and training of fine motor skills, visual-spatial memory and intellectual activity in healthy children.

Thus, the claimed “game panel simulator” allows conducting group exercises with patients of a neurological clinic aimed at the simultaneous restoration of several processes: fine motor skills, visual-spatial memory and intellectual activity, while providing the opportunity to practice with bedridden patients, as well as with walking patients in various conditions in the absence of a horizontal surface.

The inventive "game panel simulator" introduces an element of novelty into the process of training with patients, turning them into an interesting and attractive training for patients.
