Description

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 finger movements in patients with a neurological clinic.

Violation of the movements of the fingers occurs due to various organic brain lesions associated with injuries, poisoning, infections, vascular diseases of the brain.

Various devices and simulators are used to develop impaired finger movements.

So, from the existing level of technology, the “HC-RH-001 Hand Finger Exerciser” is known (Internet-magazine “ReaMed. Rehabilitation Equipment”. The finger trainer - HC-RH-001, found on 05.06.2018 in the network Internet at http://reamed.su/trenazhery-dlya-reabilitatsii/trenazher-dlya-paltsev-hc-rh-001).

The HC-RH-001 simulator is a ladder simulator designed to develop finger movements. Structurally, this simulator consists of a vertically located plastic “ladder” with “steps” of different heights. During training, the patient “steps” on these steps with his fingers, which contributes to the development of finger movements.

The disadvantages of this simulator when using it for classes on the development of finger movements in patients with a neurological clinic are:

a) the ability to conduct classes with this simulator only when it is rigidly fixed on a vertical surface;

b) the impossibility of training with this simulator for bed patients of a neurological clinic.

Also, from the existing level of technology, the “Finger Flexion-Extensor Trainer” is known (RATAY Rehabilitation online store, The Finger Flexion-Extensor simulator) was found on 06/05/2018 on the Internet at http: // ratay. kz / reabilitatsionnoe-oborudovanie7 / trenazhery-dlya-hod-by-razvitiya-melkoj-motoriki / trenazher-sgibanie-razgibanie-pal-tsev-art-404-3-ya-mogu).

Structurally, this simulator consists of a base on which there is a support for the forearm, on the one hand, and rubber harnesses, at the ends of which there are loops worn on the fingers, are fixed. During classes with this simulator, the patient, having placed his forearm on a stand, bends and extends his fingers, overcoming the resistance of rubber bands.

 The disadvantages of this simulator when using it for classes on the development of finger movements in patients with a neurological clinic are:

a) the ability to conduct classes with the simulator only if there is a horizontal surface;

b) the difficulty of training with this simulator for bed patients of a neurological clinic.

In order to overcome the above drawbacks, a “Bottle mini-simulator for classes on the development of finger movements in patients with a neurological clinic” (hereinafter referred to as “bottle mini-simulator”) was developed.

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

a) providing the ability to perform exercises on the development of finger movements in various conditions in the absence of a horizontal surface, for example, on walks;

b) providing the possibility of conducting classes with bedridden patients of a neurological clinic;

c) individual selection of power load on the fingers of the patient’s fingers, taking into account the existing violation of movements;

d) providing the possibility of a gradual increase in the power load on the patient’s fingers by smoothly changing the weight of the “bottle mini-simulator”;

e) ensuring the availability of classes with a "bottle mini-simulator" to patients with severe impaired finger movements due to its reliable fixation on the finger;

e) the simplicity and compactness of the design of the "bottle mini-simulator", ensuring its widespread adoption in clinical practice, as well as the possibility of its use by patients at home after discharge from the clinic;

g) the use of prefabricated elements in the design of the “bottle mini-simulator” that simplify its manufacture and reduce production costs.

The technical result of the claimed utility model is the expansion of the functionality of the "Finger Flexion-Extensor" simulator, provided by the structural elements of the claimed "bottle mini-simulator" allowing classes to develop finger movements with bed patients of a neurological clinic, as well as with walking patients in various conditions in the absence of a horizontal surface.

This technical result is achieved due to the fact that the “bottle mini-simulator” contains a holder made of plastic, which consists of a cap screwed on the neck of the cargo container and a cylindrical lock made in the upper part of the cap, while the cap has an outer diameter of 32 -34 mm and a height of 16-20 mm, and the inside of the cap has a thread and a sealing groove, the parameters of which: depth, threaded diameter, dimensions of the sealing groove, are similar to the corresponding parameters of the internal thread and a sealing groove of a 28 mm plastic screw cap for plastic bottles, while the cylindrical retainer has the form of a hollow cylinder, 25-30 mm high, with an internal diameter of 15-20 mm, wall thickness 0.5-1.5 mm.

In a preferred embodiment of the “mini bottle simulator”, vertical notches are made on the side surface of the cap.

In the preferred embodiment of the “bottle mini-simulator”, existing plastic bottles of a small volume (0.2 - 0.3 liters) are used as cargo containers, the necks of which are made under a 28 mm plastic screw plug.

In a preferred embodiment of the “mini bottle simulator”, liquid or bulk materials may be used as filler for plastic bottles.

The essence of the utility model "Bottle mini-simulator for classes on the development of finger movements in patients of a neurological clinic" is illustrated by sketches, which depict:

In FIG. 1 is a general view of the holder of the "bottle mini-simulator";

In FIG. 2 - section of the holder of the "bottle mini-simulator";

In FIG. 3, 4 - examples of a “bottle mini-simulator” with cargo containers in the form of various plastic bottles.

The claimed "bottle mini-simulator" includes a holder made of plastic (see Fig. 1, 2), which is hermetically screwed onto the neck of the cargo container (4), inside which the filler is contained (see Fig. 3, 4).

 The holder consists of a cap (1), in the upper part of which a cylindrical lock (2) is made.

The cap (1) has an outer diameter of 32-34 mm and a height of 16-20 mm. The inner part of the cap (1) has a thread and a sealing groove (not shown in the figures), the parameters of which (depth, threaded diameter, dimensions of the sealing groove) are similar to the corresponding parameters of the internal thread and sealing groove of the existing 28 mm plastic screw plug for plastic bottles (Wholesale Trade - Wholesale Suppliers website. Cork (cap) for a 28 mm plastic bottle was found on the Internet on 06/05/2018 at http://www.opt-union.ru/i_store/item_10023157 58 / probka-kolpachek-dlya-plastikovoy-butylki-28mm-podhodit-dlya-formatov-bpf-pco-40-kop.html).

For the convenience of screwing the holder onto the neck of the cargo container (4), vertical notches (3) are made on the side surface of the cap (1).

The cylindrical lock (2) has the form of a hollow cylinder, 25-30 mm high, with an internal diameter of 15-20 mm, and a wall thickness of 0.5-1.5 mm.

Thanks to the thin wall of the cylindrical retainer (2), it has a certain elasticity, which makes it possible to fix it on various fingers.

As cargo containers (4) in work with the “bottle mini-simulator”, existing plastic bottles of small volume (0.2 - 0.3 l.) From under mineral water and various other drinks, the necks of which are made under the existing 28- mi millimeter plastic screw plug (link above) from plastic bottles, for example:

a) a plastic bottle with a volume of 0.2 l (see Fig. 3) (Auchan Store. Water Every Day, without gas, 0.2 l, was found on June 5, 2018 on the Internet at https: / /www.auchan.ru/pokupki/kd-voda-pit-evaja-b-gaz-0-2-l.html);

b) a plastic bottle with a volume of 0.25 liters (see Fig. 4) (RusKan online store. Drinking water Aquanica Premium sparkling 0.25 liters, found on June 5, 2018 on the Internet at https://ruskan.su / 515721 /).

Various liquids (e.g., water) or bulk materials (e.g., salt) can be used as a filler of a cargo container (4).

To build a "bottle mini-simulator" the following steps are performed:

a) a plastic bottle, required in volume, is selected, which acts as a container-cargo (4);

b) a plastic bottle is filled partially or completely with filler, and a holder is screwed on its neck;

c) in case of using liquid filler, the tightness of the connection of the holder with the neck of the plastic bottle is checked.

When the plastic bottle is completely filled with filler, the patient’s finger, on which the “bottle mini-simulator” is fixed, is affected by the weight of the filler used.

When the plastic bottle is partially filled with filler, there is an additional effect on the patient’s finger due to the inertia of the filler moving inside the plastic bottle during the exercises.

Work with the “Bottle mini-simulator for classes on the development of finger movements in patients with a neurological clinic” is as follows:

Before the start of the course, the specialist individually selects the parameters (volume of the plastic bottle and the total weight of the filler) of the “mini bottle simulator” depending on the type and severity of the disturbance of the patient’s fingers (see Figs. 3, 4).

Next, the specialist fixes the “bottle mini-simulator” on one of the patient’s fingers by putting on a cylindrical retainer (2) on the upper phalanx of the finger, after which the patient performs the appropriate exercises under the guidance of a specialist. Similarly, work is carried out, if necessary, with other fingers.

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

As patients achieve positive results in the development of finger movements, the exercises performed with the "bottle mini-simulator" are complicated as follows:

a) the use of larger plastic bottles, allowing to increase the weight of the "bottle mini-simulator";

b) an increase in the weight of the filler used.

Along with classes on the development of finger movements in patients with a neurological clinic, the “bottle mini-simulator” can also be effectively used in the development of finger movements that are impaired due to various other diseases: injuries to the fingers, consequences of surgical operations, etc.

Thus, due to the design features of the developed “bottle mini-simulator”, it becomes possible to carry out classes on the development of finger movements in various conditions, providing the opportunity for classes for bed patients in a neurological clinic.

 Due to the simplicity of design and ease of use, the “bottle mini-simulator” can be widely used in clinical practice.
