Description

This useful model relates to medicine in the section of neurology and neuropsychology and can be used in the departments of neurorehabilitation of neurological and neurosurgical clinics when conducting classes from patients with a neurological clinic to simultaneously restore fine motor skills and memory by storing sequences.

Violation of fine motor skills and memory occurs in patients with a neurological clinic due to organic brain lesions of various etiologies.

Violation of fine motor skills leads to difficulties in patients performing various everyday actions that require precise finger movements.

To restore impaired fine motor skills of fingers in patients of a neurological clinic, various simulators are used to ensure the inclusion of fingers in various movements, one of which is the rotation of the fingers of a small object.

So, from the existing level of technology, the “Table simulator panel for tightening the nuts” is known, designed to restore fine motor skills through exercises on tightening and unscrewing the nuts with your fingers (Basis Company, Table simulator panel for tightening the nuts, found on the Internet on September 10, 2019. to the address http://bazis-ufa.ru/catalog/7724.html).

 Structurally, this simulator is a wooden three-stage base, 200 × 300 mm in size, with 4 screws with nuts of different sizes installed on each step. The total weight of the simulator is 1 kg.

The disadvantages of this simulator when using it during classes to restore fine motor skills and memory in patients with a neurological clinic are:

a) this simulator is not intended for classes to restore memory;

b) the uniformity and monotony of the movements performed by patients on tightening-unscrewing nuts, which can lead to a decrease in interest in classes and fatigue of patients;

c) the difficulty of performing these actions for patients who did not have previous experience with nuts and screws, so this activity is unusual for them and ineffective for restoring fine motor skills.

Also, from the existing level of technology, the “Lid simulator for classes in restoring the motor functions of the hands and short-term memory in patients of a neurological clinic” is known (Patent RU 177221 U1 of 05.10.2017).

Structurally, this device consists of a base with a length of 900-1400 mm, a width of 160-200 mm, on the surface of which a series of cylindrical protrusions are made, onto which metal cover caps are wound, which differ from each other in color or image on their surface.

To conduct classes with this device, a printed manual is used that contains tasks in the form of sequences of images of colored circles, symbols (letters, numbers), geometric shapes, etc.

During classes with this device, the patient needs to remember the sequence set by the specialist, and then screw the corresponding chip caps in accordance with the given sequence onto the cylindrical protrusions.

The disadvantages of this device when used during classes to restore fine motor skills and memory in patients with a neurological clinic are:

a) this device is intended for classes to restore motor functions of the hands, so using it to restore fine motor skills of the fingers is inappropriate;

b) the need to use in the course of classes with the device a printed manual with tasks.

Also, from the existing level of technology is known "Magnetic simulator for classes to restore memory in patients with a neurological clinic by the method of storing sequences" (Patent RU 177219 U1 from 02.13.2018).

This device consists of a rectangular case in which a metal working plate is installed with a number of cells on which chips-magnets of various colors are located.

During classes with this device, a set of work cards is used that contains images of sequences from colored circles that the patient must remember and reproduce from memory on the surface of the work plate by moving the magnet chips.

The disadvantages of this device when used for classes to restore fine motor skills and memory in patients with a neurological clinic are:

a) this device is not intended for classes to restore fine motor skills;

b) the need to use additional elements in the form of work cards.

In order to overcome the above drawbacks, a “Cork simulator for training to restore fine motor skills and memory by the method of storing sequences” (hereinafter referred to as “Cork simulator”) was developed.

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

a) the actions performed by patients should be simultaneously aimed both at restoring fine motor skills, and at restoring memory;

b) restoration of fine motor skills should be based on the implementation of rotational movements with the fingers;

c) restoration of fine motor skills should be carried out in the course of activities attractive and interesting for patients;

d) no need to use additional elements such as work cards;

e) the simplicity of the “Cork simulator” design, which contributes to its widespread adoption in the practice of neurorehabilitation.

The technical result of the claimed utility model is the expansion of the functionality of the “Magnetic simulator for classes to restore memory in patients of a neurological clinic by the method of storing sequences”, provided by the structural elements of the claimed “Cork simulator”, allowing classes with patients of the neurological clinic aimed at the simultaneous restoration of small motility and memory by storing sequences, without the use of additional elements such as work cards.

This technical result is achieved due to the fact that the “Cork simulator” contains a plastic rectangular base with rounded corners, on which a number of cylindrical protrusions with an external thread located at the same distance from each other are made, onto which plastic plugs of chips of different colors are wound, and The top surface of each cylindrical protrusion is marked with a symbol.

In the preferred embodiment of the "Cork simulator" the number of cylindrical protrusions is 6-12 pieces.

In a preferred embodiment of the Cork Simulator, the symbol on the cylindrical protrusion is a number or a letter.
