Description

Simulator-scoop for classes on the development of motor functions of the hands in patients with a neurological clinic

This useful model relates to medicine in the section of neurology and neurorehabilitation and can be used in the departments of neurorehabilitation of neurological and neurosurgical clinics during classes on the development of motor functions of the hands in patients of a neurological clinic.

Impairment of motor functions of the hands occurs in patients with a neurological clinic due to various organic brain lesions associated with injuries, poisoning, infections, and vascular diseases of the brain.

Currently, various simulators and devices are used for classes on the development of motor functions of the hands in patients of a neurological clinic.

So, from the existing level of technology, the “CuraMotion Exer III Plus Arm and Shoulder Trainer” is known, which is designed to develop the motor functions of the upper limbs, to strengthen the muscles of the hands, increase flexibility and mobility of the shoulder girdle (Promedik Online Store. Trainer for arms and shoulders PT22100 CuraMotion Exer III Plus, found July 17, 2018 on the Internet at http://www.pro-medic.ru/index.php?ht=222&detail=9480).

Structurally, this simulator is a metal case, in the upper part of which there is a handle that the patient must rotate by hand, making circular movements.

The disadvantages of this simulator when using it during classes to develop motor functions of the hands in patients with a neurological clinic are:

a) mechanical repetition of the same circular motion of the hand in the same plane, without the possibility of working on the restoration of any other movements of the hand;

b) the uniformity of the movements performed by the hand, contributing to the rapid fatigue of patients;

c) the possibility of training with this simulator only if there is a horizontal surface of the table;

d) the inconvenience of practicing with this device for bed patients of a neurological clinic.

Also, from the existing level of technology, the device is known “Block for restoring the functions of the upper limbs”, which is designed to restore the functions of muscles and joints of the hands after injuries, surgery, stroke (Scientific-Production Association "HERCULES", Block for restoring the functions of the upper limbs, found 07/17/2018 on the Internet at http://royal-sport.ru/trenazhery/trenazhery_dlya_invalidov/mekhanoterapiya_kinezoterapiya/blochok_dlya_vosstanovleniya_funktsiy_verkhnikh_konechnostey/?sphrase_id=398).

Structurally, this device is a steel frame fixed to the wall, on which a pair of blocks is located, through which a rope is threaded, at the ends of which there are handles. During the classes, the patient, holding the rope by the handles, exercises a reciprocating movement up and down, alternately raising one hand and lowering the other.

The disadvantages of this device when used during classes on the development of motor functions of the hands in patients with a neurological clinic are:

a) this device provides a mechanical repetition of the same reciprocating movement, and does not allow you to work on restoring any other hand movements;

b) the uniformity of the movements performed, contributing to the rapid fatigue of patients;

c) the ability to conduct classes with this device only in specially equipped rooms where it is mounted on the wall;

d) the impossibility of practicing with this device for bed patients of a neurological clinic.

Also, the Catch Ball-1 gaming device is known from the prior art, which is intended for the development of coordination of movements, dexterity, and eye measurement (My-Shop.ru online store. The Catch Ball-1 game, found July 17, 2018 d. on the Internet at https://my-shop.ru/shop/products/2208577.html?b45=2_1).

Structurally, this device is a wooden bowl, on the lower surface of the bottom of which there is a handle with a wooden ball tied to it through a lace.

In the course of training with this device, the person who is engaged needs to toss up the work item in the form of a ball tied to the handle by moving the hand holding the device by the handle, calculating the throwing force so as to catch it in a wooden bowl.

The disadvantages of this device when used during classes on the development of motor functions of the hands in patients with a neurological clinic are:

a) this device is intended for healthy people, and therefore it is practically inaccessible to patients in a neurological clinic with impaired motor functions of the hands;

b) since most patients did not have the skill to work with this device in their previous experience, this activity is unusual for them, which causes additional difficulties.

In order to overcome the above drawbacks, the “Scoop simulator for classes on the development of motor functions of the hands in patients of a neurological clinic” (hereinafter referred to as the “simulator-scoop”) has been developed.

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

a) using as a basis for a simulator a household item that is familiar to many patients, in particular a scoop, the actions of which are strengthened by the past experience of many patients, therefore are more secure and accessible for implementation, while the shape of the scoop (flat bottom, bounded on three sides by walls ) has certain properties that provide the ability to implement simple and accessible exercises for patients of varying degrees of complexity;

b) ensuring the availability of classes with a "simulator-scoop" to a patient in a neurological clinic with impaired motor functions of the hands of varying severity;

c) the possibility of implementing exercises with varying degrees of difficulty with the "simulator-scoop";

d) ensuring the possibility of convenient and quick return of the working element to the base of the "simulator-scoop" in the case;

e) providing the possibility of training with a "simulator-scoop" in various conditions in the absence of a horizontal surface of the desktop;

e) the simplicity of the design of the "simulator-scoop", contributing to its widespread introduction into practice of working with patients, both in the clinic and when conducting independent classes at home.

The technical result of the claimed utility model is to expand the functionality of the device “Catch the ball-1”, provided by the structural elements of the claimed “simulator-scoop”, allowing classes to develop motor functions of the hands of patients in a neurological clinic due to the possibility of execution with a “simulator-scoop” simple and accessible exercises for patients of varying degrees of difficulty, as well as the possibility of a convenient and quick return of the work item based on the “simulator-scoop” .

This technical result is achieved due to the fact that the “simulator-scoop” contains a plastic base 2-4 mm thick, on three sides of which a plastic wall-barrier is made, while the base has the shape of a rectangle 80-200 mm wide, 140-220 mm long , one of the narrow sides of which is made with rounded edges, and in the lower part of the base, at a distance of 40-50 mm from the side with rounded edges, a round thickening is made, with a diameter of 40-50 mm and a height of 6-8 mm, in the center of which is made through hole with a diameter of 15-20 m the edges of the through hole on the upper and lower sides are rounded, and the wall-barrier made on three sides of the base has smooth transitions to the base and consists of several parts: an end part located on the side of the base with rounded edges having a height of 40- 70 mm and made with an inclination of 100-130 degrees with respect to the base, two corner parts, which are a continuation of the end part and having a rounded shape, as well as two side parts, which are a continuation of the corner parts, and having a triangular shape, while on the upper edge of the barrier wall, including the front edge of the base, a rounded shape is made, 7-10 mm high, and a handle 100-120 mm long, 20-25 mm wide, is made in the center of the end part of the barrier wall in the lower part of which the strap is fixed, while a cord with a working element fixed on it is drawn through the hole in the base, and the other end of the cord is made in the form of a loop, in front of which a limiter is installed.

The essence of the utility model "Scoop simulator for classes on the development of motor functions of the hands in patients of a neurological clinic" is illustrated by the drawings, which depict:

In FIG. 1 - general view of the “simulator-scoop” with a cord and a working element;

In FIG. 2 - view of the "simulator-scoop" from above without a lace and a working element;

In FIG. 3 is a side view of the “simulator-scoop” without a lace and a working element;

In FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the “simulator-scoop”.

The claimed "simulator-scoop" (see Fig. 1, 2) is a plastic base (1), on three sides of which a plastic wall-barrier (2) with a handle (3) is made, and a through hole is made in the base (1) (5) through which the cord (8) is stretched with the working element (9) fixed to it.

The base (1) of the “simulator-scoop” is made in the form of a rectangle 80-200 mm wide, 140-220 mm long, one of the narrow sides of which (in width, from the side of the handle (3)) is made with rounded edges. The thickness of the base (1) is 2-4 mm.

In the lower part of the base (1), at a distance of 40-50 mm from the side with rounded edges, a thickening (4) was made of a round shape (see Fig. 3, 4), with a diameter of 40-50 mm and a height of 6-8 mm.

A through hole (5) with a diameter of 15-20 mm is made in the center of the bulge (4).

At the same time, the edges of the through hole (5) on the upper and lower sides are made of a rounded shape, providing ease of slipping of the lace (8) during training with the “simulator-scoop”

Performed on three sides of the base (1), the wall-barrier (2) has smooth transitions to the base (1) from the outside and inside.

In this case, the wall-barrier (2) consists of several parts (see Fig. 2):

a) the end part of the barrier wall (2) located on the base side (1) with rounded edges, having a height of 40-70 mm and made with an inclination of 100-130 degrees with respect to the base (1);

b) two angular parts of the wall-barrier (2), which are a continuation of the end part of the wall-barrier (2) and having a rounded shape;

c) two lateral parts of the barrier wall (2), which are a continuation of two angular parts, and having a triangular shape.

On the upper edge of the barrier wall (2), including the front edge of the base (1), a rounded shape (6) is made, 7-10 mm high, which performs the following functions:

a) give additional rigidity to the base (1) and the wall-barrier (2) of the “simulator-scoop”;

b) provides ease of sliding of the lace (8) along the upper edge of the barrier wall (2) and the front edge of the base (1) during training with the “simulator-scoop”.

In the center of the end part of the barrier wall (2), a handle (3) is made with a length of 100-120 mm, a width of 20-25 mm, which has a U-shaped section with rounded edges and a wall thickness of 2-3 mm.

In the lower part of the handle (3), an elastic strap (7) made of rubberized fabric is fixed with a width of 15-20 mm, which ensures the fixation of the patient's arm during training with the “simulator-scoop”.

Used in the course of training with the “simulator-scoop” work item (9) is a hollow ball made of elastic plastic with a diameter of 30-60 mm (see Fig. 1).

Along with the working element (9) made in the form of a ball, for working with the “simulator-scoop” work elements of another shape can also be used, for example, in the form of a flat hollow disk, which must be turned from one side to the other when tossing.

As a lace (8), a braided synthetic rope with a diameter of 2-3 mm can be used, which has the property of easy sliding on a plastic surface, for example, “Twisted polyester rope” (GlobalTex-M Company, Twisted polyester rope, found July 17, 2018 in the Internet at http://2029863.ru/kruchennaya-veryovka).

The length of the lace (8) is 1200-1500 mm, and its fastening to the working element (9) can be carried out in various ways, for example, by gluing.

The other end of the lace (8) is made in the form of a loop (10), which provides the convenience of holding the lace (8) with the patient’s healthy hand during training with the “simulator-scoop”.

To prevent accidental slipping of the loop (10) through the hole (5) in the base (1) during training with the “trowel simulator”, a stopper (11) is installed on the cord (8) in front of the loop (10), which is a plastic washer 3 thick -5 mm, the inner diameter of which is equal to the diameter of the lace (8), and the outer diameter exceeds the diameter of the hole (5) in the base (1) by 1.5-2 times.

Work with the "Scoop simulator for classes on the development of motor functions of the hands in patients of a neurological clinic" is as follows.

Before the start of the lesson, the specialist fixes the handle (3) of the “simulator-scoop” in the patient’s hand with a movement disorder using a strap (7).

At the same time, a loop (10) of a cord (8) is located in a healthy hand of a patient, and a healthy hand of a patient holding a loop (10) is located near a hand with a “simulator-scoop”.

Before performing the exercise, the working element (9) in the form of a ball is located on the surface of the base (1) of the “simulator-scoop”.

The exercise performed by the patient with the "simulator-scoop" includes the following movements:

a) toss the ball up to a small height by moving the arm with a "simulator-scoop";

b) catch the ball with a “trowel simulator” so that it is on the surface of its base (1).

If after performing the above steps the ball is on the surface of the base (1) of the “simulator-scoop”, then the patient continues the exercise further.

If the ball is outside the "simulator-scoop", then the patient returns the ball to the surface of the base (1) of the "simulator-scoop" by pulling the cord (8) with a healthy hand over the loop (10), after which the exercise continues.

As the patient achieves positive results in the development of motor functions of the arm, the exercises performed with the “simulator-scoop” are complicated by gradually increasing the height of the ball tossing.

Thus, the design features of the “simulator-scoop” provide the ability to perform simple and accessible exercises for the patient due to the fact that the ball is thrown directly from the surface of the base (1) (and not from the position when it hangs on the lace from the bottom), and the patient can gradually increase the height of its toss, thereby complicating the exercises.

Moreover, the design features of the “simulator-scoop” provide the ability to quickly return the ball to the surface of the base (1) of the “simulator-scoop” by pulling the cord (8) by the loop (10), which ensures the convenience of patients with the “simulator-scoop”.

The importance of the “simulator-scoop” lies in the fact that working with it arouses interest and positive emotions in patients, since the movements performed with the “simulator-scoop” are not mechanical and of the same type, but are playful in nature, helping to maintain the interest of patients to exercises performed.

After mastering the use of the "simulator-scoop" under the guidance of a specialist, the patient gets the opportunity to conduct independent classes with him, both in the clinic and at home.

Along with classes on the development of motor functions of the hands in patients with a neurological clinic, the “simulator-scoop” can also be effectively used in the development of motor functions of the hands that are impaired due to various other diseases, for example, injuries, consequences of surgical operations, etc.

In addition to using the “simulator-scoop” in clinical practice, it can be widely used in the sports and fitness field, especially when conducting classes with children.

Thus, the “simulator-scoop” provides the possibility for patients of the neurological clinic to perform simple and affordable exercises of varying degrees of complexity, aimed at restoring the motor functions of the hands, while ensuring the possibility of a convenient and quick return of the work item to the base of the “simulator-scoop”.

Using the “simulator-scoop” introduces an element of novelty into the process of rehabilitation classes, turning them into interesting and attractive training for patients.

Due to the simplicity of design and ease of use, the “simulator-scoop” can be widely used in clinical practice, allowing patients to carry out exercises to restore the motor functions of the hands, both in a hospital and on their own at home.
