Description

The utility model relates to devices for training the eye muscles and can be used both for the prevention of visual impairment and for the treatment of eye diseases caused by physiological, neurological and other reasons leading to impaired visual function.

Violation of the proper functioning of the motor elements of the organs of vision can lead to diseases such as strabismus - an asymmetric arrangement of the eyes; paresis - disability of the oculomotor muscles; nystagmus - involuntary eye vibrations; myasthenia gravis - muscle weakness; visual impairment (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism).

One of the means of disease prevention is training the muscles of the eye.

A known simulator for training to restore eye movements in patients with visual-object agnosia (RU 160587 U1, АВВ 3/00, 03/27/2016. Bull. No. 9, containing a metal base, in the center of which a metal ball joint is pivotally mounted in rigidly mounted metal elements made in the form of cylindrical tubes telescopically connected to each other with the possibility of successive deployment and concentrically located in the outer tube-handle, having a height of 12-14 cm and a diameter of 2-3 cm, and in the lower parts of the handle tube have 3-4 telescopically connected cylindrical tubes, and 4-7 in the upper part, while their diameter and height are limited by the diameter and height of the outer handle tube to the upper end of the uppermost cylindrical tube located in the upper part of the tube -handles, an element that controls the movement of the eyes, made in the form of a ball, is rigidly attached.

This simulator provides the possibility of eye movement in three coordinates of space and helps to restore their movement.

The disadvantages include the sufficient complexity of the simulator, made primarily of metal, which, as a consequence, affects its cost.

A device is known consisting of a movable object mounted on a pendulum equipped with a drive and oscillating against the background of a screen, behind which an eccentric with a drive is mounted on the rack, providing reciprocating movement of a distant object with an image in the direction of the rack, designed to implement a method of preventing visual fatigue (RU 2022519 C1, A61B 3/00, A61F 9/00, 11/15/1994) by alternating spatial fixation of the eyes on moving objects distant from each other, one of which makes oscillatory, like a pendulum, motion, and another, reciprocating motion, appearing periodically above the screen.

Using this device allows you to reduce the number of asthenopic complaints, helps to reduce eyestrain in people engaged in intense visual labor, and, therefore, increase labor productivity.

However, this device is not compact, requires a large area for its installation and operation.

A device-simulator is known for the development of hand-eye coordination (RU 147766, U1 АВВ 3/00, 11/20/2014. Bull. No. 32), containing hollow tubes with grooves, including a ball or several balls placed inside, with the possibility of free movement in the hollow tubes are round, oval or trapezoidal, the hollow tubes are interconnected in the same plane as an equilateral triangle or another polyhedron and each of them has a longitudinal slot throughout, and the diameter of the ball or several balls more than the width of the slot.

Also known is a simulator for presbyopia correction (RU No. 138750, АВВ 3/00, 03/20/2014. Bull. No. 8), containing a hollow tube with a diameter of 15 mm and a length of 240 mm with a longitudinal slot along its entire length of 8 mm, while hollow the tube is equipped with plastic plugs on both sides and a ball with a diameter of 12 mm is placed in it with the possibility of its free movement in the cavity of the tube and observation of it through a longitudinal slot. The famous simulator is selected as the closest analogue.

A disadvantage of the known simulators and, in particular, the simulator for correcting presbyopia is the lack of effectiveness in training the muscles of the eye, due to low functionality, consisting only in continuous tracking of the ball moving in the forward and backward directions. In addition, the well-known simulator for presbyopia correction is not convenient enough to work.

The objective of this utility model is to provide the ability to train different muscle groups of the eye in order to maintain and / or restore the health of the muscular system of the eyes.

The technical result achieved by the implementation of the utility model is expressed in increasing the efficiency of the simulator.

The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the simulator for training the muscles of the eye, containing the ball and the gutter-shaped element with the possibility of free movement of the ball in it, according to the claimed utility model is made in the form of a transformable frame structure, while the gutter-shaped element is made in the form of a recess in the base, to one of the ends of which, on its two sides, bounding strips are attached by a movable connection, fastened together at the opposite end through a connecting movable element to which mu is connected by a detachable connection to the main crossbar with a hook at the end, with the possibility of fastening monitoring means to the hook; to the main crossbar, in turn, is connected by a movable connection an additional crossbar made with hooks on two opposite ends; the base is made with handles.

The simulator can be equipped with means for observing movement in the form of balls and cylinders of different diameters.

Means for fastening on the hooks of the main and additional crossbars can be made in the form of cylinders, pyramids, cubes of different sizes and colors.

The device is illustrated by drawings.

In FIG. 1 shows a general view of a simulator for training eye muscles in working condition (pendulum position).

In FIG. Figure 2 shows the design of a simulator for training the muscles of the eye inoperative.

In FIG. Figures 3 and 4 show a simulator (with the bar removed) for training the muscles of the eye in the tracking position of an object moving in the trough — a ball of different diameters.

The device comprises a movable frame structure 1, including a base 2 with a recess 3, to one of the ends of which, on its two sides, are connected by a movable connection restrictive strips 4, fastened together at the opposite end through a connecting movable element 5, to which the main crossbar 6 s is connected a hook at the end 7, to which, in turn, is connected by a movable connection an additional crossbar 8, made with hooks 9 on two opposite ends, the base is equipped with handles 10, means for observations 11. The simulator can be made of wood, as well as other materials - plastic, metal.

The device operates as follows.

The design of the simulator for training the muscles of the eye, thanks to the presence of movable joints, allows you to transform the frame structure for training the muscles of the eyes in different modes.

So to observe the “pendulum movements”, the simulator is set to the “pendulum” mode of operation - the restrictive bars are raised to the vertical position, the main crossbar 6 is pulled out, on the hook 7 of which the monitoring means 11 is hung on the threads. The trainee picks up the simulator in his hands, holding it by the handles 10 on the basis of 2 simulators, and sets in motion a hooked object - as a means for observation, a ball is shown, making pendulum-like movements on itself and from itself, or pendulum-like movements from side to side (VP ABO, left) eye tracking its movement. In this case, it is possible to complicate the trajectory of the subject by moving in a circle, clockwise and counterclockwise, or, when the objects are hooked onto the additional crossbar 8, observe the movement of several objects.

Next, lower the restrictive straps 4 to the base 2 of the simulator. A ball or cylinder is installed in the formed gutter, the end face of the base is brought to the chin and, holding the treadmill by the handles, tilt it to and from itself. The object in the gutter starts moving, which the trainee tracks. At the same time, you can change the speed of movement, at a lower speed, the load on the muscles of the eye increases. In the claimed device, the presence of restrictive slats lowered to the level of the base 2 with a recess, allows you to use balls of different diameters - small diameters with the ability to move them along the recess and large diameters with movement along the groove formed by the base 2 and restrictive straps 4. When changing balls, from a larger diameter to a smaller one, the load on the muscles of the eye increases. Skating a single small size of an object is carried out with the restrictive bars raised, using a recess 3 in the base 2. For this, the means for observing different colors are used depending on the time of the training. So in the morning it is advisable to use red balls, cylinders, etc., in the afternoon - green. This is due to the fact that red color leads to increased activity of the cerebral cortex.

Thus, the claimed design of the simulator allows you to conduct a range of exercises, involving the entire muscle apparatus of the eye in the training process. At the same time, the effectiveness of using the simulator is achieved both by carrying out different types of exercises, and due to the possibility of using various means for observation in their various combinations.

The trainer for training the muscles of the eye can be used as a prophylaxis for good vision, and to prevent the development of diseases associated with impaired muscle of the eye.

The inventive simulator is convenient to use, does not require special knowledge and can be used both in medical, and in educational institutions and at home.
