Description

The training panel with hexagonal cells for training

 to restore the movements of the fingers and spatial memory

in patients with a neurological clinic

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

So, from the current level of technology known "Simulator for fingers" HC-RH-001 (ReaMed. Equipment for rehabilitation, Simulator for fingers - HC-RH-001, found 03/17/2019, on the Internet at 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, consisting in the implementation of stereotypical repetitive movements of the fingers;

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

Also, from the current level of technology, an electronic device is a game tablet "GOOD FUN FlashPad" (IQ TOY online store. GOOD FUN FlashPad, found 03/18/2019 on the Internet at https://iqtoy.ru/store/search/ product / good-fun-flashpad /).

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

This device provides the ability to implement various games, one of which is the game "Twister", which consists in the fact that several sensors start to be highlighted on the panel, which you need to simultaneously touch with both fingers.

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) work with this device should be carried out simultaneously 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 with hexagonal cells for practicing the restoration of finger movements and spatial memory in patients with a neurological clinic” (hereinafter referred to as “simulator panel”) has been developed.

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

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 performing various movements with the fingers of the hand;

d) the gradual complication of the movements of the fingers of the hand in the process of training;

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 base of regular hexagonal shape made of plastic, around the perimeter of the upper side of which are flanges that form the boundaries of the working surface on which the markings are drawn in the form of lines that form on the working surface nineteen identical hexagonal cells, in the center of each of which a circular recess is made, each of which have the same diameter and depth; the spatial arrangement of hexagonal cells has the configuration of a complex figure, which consists of five horizontal rows of hexagonal cells - a central row that includes five hexagonal cells, two rows of hexagonal cells are symmetrically arranged above and below as follows: two intermediate rows contain four hexagonal cells, and adjacent to the intermediate rows, the two extreme rows each contain three hexagonal cells, with Each hexagonal cell contains a serial number printed on its surface.

In the preferred embodiment of the “simulator panel”, the outer and inner edges of the circular recesses are rounded.

In the preferred embodiment of the "simulator-panel" round grooves and shoulders are highlighted in color different from the color of the base.

The essence of the utility model "A panel simulator with hexagonal cells for practicing the restoration of hand movements and spatial memory in patients with a neurological clinic" is illustrated by drawings, which depict:

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

FIG. 2 - section of the “simulator panel”;

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

The claimed "simulator panel" is a hexagonal base made of plastic (see Fig. 1, 2), the shoulders (2) are located along the perimeter of the upper side, 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 lines (3), forming on the working surface 19 (nineteen) identical hexagonal cells (4), in the center of each of which there is a circular recess (5) designed for fixing the fingertips of the patient’s hand during the sessions with the “panel simulator”.

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 base (1) has the shape of a regular hexagon, the distance between the opposite sides of which is 150-200 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.

The spatial arrangement of the hexagonal cells (4) has the configuration of a complex shape, which is a polyhex - a geometric shape in the form of a polygon composed of several regular hexagons connected by sides (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poligex).

This geometric figure consists of five horizontally arranged rows of hexagonal cells (4) - a central row that includes 5 (five) hexagonal cells (4), two rows of hexagonal cells (4) symmetrically arranged above and below as adjacent two intermediate rows each contain 4 (four) hexagonal cells (4), and two extreme rows adjacent to intermediate rows each contain 3 (three) hexagonal cells (4).

Each hexagonal cell (4) contains a sequence number (6) deposited on its surface (for example, with dark paint).

The round depressions (5) made in hexagonal cells (4) have the same diameter, which is 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.

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 hexagonal cells with circular recesses, some of which are highlighted in some way, for example, in 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.

Works "Simulator panel with hexagonal cells for classes on the restoration of the movements of the fingers and spatial memory in patients of the neurological clinic" 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 that contain the simplest tasks in which images (8) of hexagonal cells with highlighted round depressions are located in close proximity to each other (see Fig. 3).

Further, the patient remembers the spatial arrangement of the images of hexagonal cells with highlighted round depressions for a period of time specified by a specialist (15 seconds or more), after which the work card used (7) is closed 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 finger tips are located in the circular depressions (5), the images of which 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 in the use of work cards (7) on which the images (8) of hexagonal 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 this case, the specialist names the numbers corresponding to the numbers (6) of the hexagonal cells (4), and the patient must memorize these numbers and place the fingertips in the round depressions (5) of the hexagonal cells (4) with the named numbers (6).

This method is more flexible, as it allows 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 the 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) during remedial developmental activities with children who have impaired formation of finger motility and spatial memory;

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

e) as a simulator to increase the flexibility of the fingers of healthy people who need it in connection with professional or other activities.

Thus, the declared “Hexagonal panel simulator for practicing the restoration of the movements of fingers and spatial memory in patients of the neurological clinic” provides the opportunity to conduct classes on the simultaneous restoration of disturbed movements of the fingers and spatial memory in patients of the neurological clinic, allowing you to enable the process of finger movements hands in an interesting and attractive for patients playing activity, with a gradual increase in the degree of difficulty 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.
