Description

This utility model relates to medicine, to the section of neurology and neuropsychology and can be used in the departments of neurorehabilitation of neurological and neurosurgical clinics when conducting classes on restoring impaired movements of the fingers and spatial memory in patients with a neurological clinic.

Disturbance of the movements of the fingers occurs in patients with a neurological clinic due to various organic brain lesions associated with strokes, injuries and a number of other diseases.

To restore the disturbed movements of the fingers, various devices and simulators are used.

Thus, from the current level of technology, the “Finger Trainer” HC-RH-001 (ReaMed. Rehabilitation Equipment, Finger Trainer - HC-RH-001, found 03/15/2019 on the Internet at http: http: //reamed.su/trenazhery-dlya-reabilitatsii/trenazher-dlya-paltsev-hc-rh-001).

Structurally, this simulator consists of a plastic "ladder" with "steps" of different heights. During the lesson, the patient “walks” along these “steps” with the fingers of his hands, which contributes to the restoration of their movements.

The disadvantages of this simulator when it is used for classes on the restoration of disturbed movements of the fingers and spatial memory in patients with a neurological clinic are:

a) this simulator does not provide the possibility of conducting classes in the restoration of spatial memory;

b) the monotony of classes, which consists in performing stereotyped repetitive movements;

c) the inability to change the degree of complexity of the movements performed by the fingers.

Also, from the current level of technology known electronic gaming device "GOOD FUN FlashPad" (online store IQ TOY. GOOD FUN FlashPad, found 03/15/2019, on the Internet at https://iqtoy.ru/store/search/product / good-fun-flashpad /).

Structurally, this device is a square panel with sixteen highly sensitive sensors with LED illumination.

This device provides the ability to implement various games, one of which is the game "Twister", consisting in the fact that the panel begins to highlight a group of sensors that need to simultaneously touch the fingers of both hands.

The disadvantages of this device when using it for classes on the restoration of impaired movements of the fingers and spatial memory in patients with a neurological clinic are:

a) this device does not provide the possibility of conducting classes in the restoration of spatial memory;

b) the device must be operated with the fingers of both hands;

C) the structural complexity of this device, which includes various electronic components: sensors, LEDs, etc.

In order to overcome the above disadvantages, a “simulator panel for practicing the restoration of disturbed movements of fingers and spatial memory in patients with a neurological clinic” (hereinafter referred to as “simulator panel”) has been developed.

The tasks that the claimed technical solution is aimed at are:

a) ensuring the possibility of conducting classes for the simultaneous restoration of impaired movements of the fingers and spatial memory in patients with a neurological clinic;

b) the inclusion of the process of movements of the fingers in an interesting and attractive game activity for patients;

c) ensuring the possibility of various movements with the fingers of the patient;

d) the gradual complication of the movements of the fingers of the hand, carried out as the patient achieves positive results;

e) simplicity of the “simulator-panel” design, contributing to its widespread introduction into clinical practice.

The technical result of the claimed utility model is the realization of the possibility of conducting classes for the simultaneous restoration of disturbed finger movements and spatial memory in patients of a neurological clinic, provided by the structural elements of the stated “simulator panel”, which allows to include the process of finger movements in an interesting and attractive activity for patients , with a gradual increase in the degree of complexity of the movements performed.

This technical result is ensured by the fact that the “simulator-panel” contains a flat square-shaped base made of plastic, around the perimeter of the upper side of which are flanges forming the boundaries of the working surface of the base, and markings in the form of horizontal and vertical lines are applied to the working surface of the base square cells forming on it, which are located in horizontal and vertical rows containing the same number of square cells in each row, with at the center to zhdoy of square cells formed a circular groove, each of which have the same diameter and depth, on the surface of each square cell sequence number applied.

In the preferred embodiment of the “simulator panel”, the total number of square cells can be 9, 16 or 25 pieces.

In the preferred embodiment of the “simulator-panel”, the round depressions and shoulders are highlighted in a color different from that of the base.

The essence of the utility model “Panel simulator for classes on restoring impaired movements of the fingers and spatial memory in patients of the neurological clinic” is illustrated by drawings, which depict:

in fig. 1 - a general view of the “simulator panel”;

in fig. 2 - section of the “simulator panel”;

FIG. 3, 4 - examples of work cards for classes with a “simulator panel”.

The stated “simulator panel” is a flat square-shaped base (1) made of plastic (see FIGS. 1, 2), along the perimeter of the upper side of which are shoulder (2), forming the boundaries of the working surface.

The working surface of the base (1) is marked (for example, with dark paint) markings in the form of horizontal and vertical lines (3), forming square cells (4), in the center of each of which is made a circular recess (5) designed to fix the fingers of the patient in the course of training with the "simulator panel".

The dimensions of this particular “simulator-panel” indicated below are not signs narrowing the scope of legal protection, as they may change in the process of its creation.

The size of the side of the base (1) is 150-190 mm, and its thickness, taking into account the shoulder, is 10-15 mm. The width of each shoulder (2) is 8-12 mm, and the height is 4-5 mm.

Square cells (4) are located on the working surface of the base (1) in horizontal and vertical rows containing the same number of cells (4) in each row, and the total number of square cells (4) can be 9, 16 or 25 pieces.

Round recesses (5) have the same diameter, amounting to 12-16 mm and the same depth, equal to 5-8 mm. At the same time, the outer and inner edges of the circular depressions (5) are rounded.

Each square cell (4) contains a sequence number (6) applied on its surface with dark paint.

For better perception by patients, all round depressions (5) and shoulders (2) are highlighted in color (for example, by means of paint), which differs from the color of the base (1) of the “simulator panel”.

When conducting classes with a “simulator-panel”, a set of working cards (7) made of thick paper can be used, each of which contains an image (8) of the working surface of the “simulator-panel” with images of square cells with circular grooves, some of which are allocated -or way, such as color (see Fig. 3, 4).

The total number of work cards (7) included in the “simulator-panel” package is 30-40 pieces.

For storage and transportation of the “simulator panel” with a set of work cards (7), a cover (not shown in the figures) made of plastic or fabric material is used.

The work with the “Simulator-panel for classes on restoration of impaired movements of the fingers and spatial memory in patients with a neurological clinic” is carried out as follows.

At the beginning of the lesson, the specialist selects one work card (7) (see Figs. 3, 4), the degree of complexity of which depends on the severity of the disruption of the movements of the patient’s fingers.

At the initial stages of classes, work cards (7) are used, containing the simplest tasks, in which the images of the highlighted round depressions are located most closely from each other (see Fig. 3).

Further, the patient remembers the location of images of square cells with highlighted round depressions for a period of time specified by a specialist (from 15 seconds or more), after which the work card used (7) is covered with a clean sheet of paper.

After that, the patient, placing the hand on the working surface of the base (1) of the “simulator panel”, should give the fingers such a position that the fingertips are located in the circular depressions (5) that were highlighted on the work card used (7).

Next, the specialist checks the correctness of the task, after which the entire above-described sequence of actions is repeated as many times as specified by the specialist using other work cards (7).

As the patient achieves positive results in restoring the movements of the fingers, tasks gradually increase in complexity, consisting of using work cards (7) on which images of square cells with highlighted round depressions are located at a greater distance from each other (see Fig. 4).

Classes with a “simulator-panel” can be carried out without using work cards (7) in the following ways:

a) the specialist draws on a sheet of paper an image of a square table, the number of cells of which is similar to the number of square cells (4) of the working surface of the base (1) of the “simulator panel”, after which it places any items in the cells of this table (coins, plastic jams and others) spatial arrangement of which the patient must memorize for a period of time specified by a specialist. Further actions of the patient are similar to those described above using work cards (7), and the tasks are changed by a specialist by moving the items used to other cells of the table;

b) the specialist names the numbers corresponding to the numbers (6) of the square cells (4) of the working surface of the base (1) of the “simulator panel”, and the patient must memorize these numbers and arrange the tips of the fingers in the round depressions (5) of the square cells with the named specialists rooms (6).

These methods are more flexible, as they allow the specialist to use in work with patients a greater number of different types of tasks, the formation of which is carried out directly in the process of training.

Along with exercises to restore impaired movements of fingers and spatial memory in patients with the neurological clinic, the simulator-panel can also be effectively used in the following cases:

a) when conducting classes for the restoration of impaired movements of the fingers with patients who have injuries or any other diseases not related to the neurological clinic;

b) when diagnosing movements of fingers in patients with neurological or other diseases;

c) when conducting remedial developmental activities with children who have impaired formation of the movement of fingers and spatial memory;

d) when conducting neurocognitive trainings with elderly and senile people;

e) as a simulator that provides the possibility of increasing the flexibility of the fingers of healthy people who need it in connection with professional or other activities.

Thus, the claimed device provides the possibility of conducting classes for the simultaneous restoration of impaired movements of the fingers and spatial memory in patients of the neurological clinic, allowing you to include the process of movements of the fingers in an interesting and attractive game activity for patients with a gradual increase in the degree of complexity of the movements performed.

The stated “simulator panel” introduces a novelty element into the process of rehabilitation classes, turning them into an interesting and attractive training for patients.
