Description

This useful 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 group exercises to simultaneously restore motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity in patients of a neurological clinic with organic brain lesions of various etiologies.

Of great importance for the effectiveness of restorative education are the forms of its organization used during classes with patients with disorders of various mental and motor functions.

Methods and forms of organization of restorative education should take into account the social nature of a person and create conditions for maximizing the use of all human capabilities and abilities, using the influence of the social environment and other social factors on a sick person (Tsvetkova L.S. Aphasia and restorative education. M; Moscow psychological -Social Institute of Voronezh: Publishing house NPO "MODEK", 2001, p. 81, 82).

One of the forms of organization of rehabilitation education, which is based on the use of social factors, is the group form of classes, which helps to increase the efficiency of restoration of impaired mental and motor functions, expanding and complementing individual lessons with a specialist and independent studies of patients while they are in a neurological clinic.

Group classes allow you to realize, first of all, the activity of communication and influence on the patient’s personality through the mechanisms of a small social group: interpersonal interaction, cooperation, cooperation, competition, etc. (Tsvetkova L.S. Aphasia and restorative education. M; Moscow Psychological and Social Institute Voronezh: Publishing house NPO MODEK, 2001, p. 9).

According to Marvin Shaw, a specialist in group dynamics, a small social group is a community consisting of two or more interacting and influencing individuals (Myers D. Social Psychology. - St. Petersburg: Peter, 1997).

Thus, the use of the group form of classes helps to increase the effectiveness of rehabilitation training when working on the restoration of various mental functions, including intellectual activity, as well as motor functions, including motor functions of the hands of patients in a neurological clinic.

In domestic psychology, intellectual activity or thinking is considered as a specific, but complex mental activity, which has its own structure and functions (L.S. Tsvetkova, Neuropsychological rehabilitation of patients. Speech and intellectual activity, Moscow: Publishing House of the Moscow Pedagogical Institute, Voronezh: Modek, 2004 , p. 317).

The normal intellectual process can be disturbed in organic brain lesions caused by various neurological diseases associated primarily with damage to the tertiary parieto-temporal-occipital or frontal parts of the cerebral cortex.

One of the common methods used for group sessions on the restoration of intellectual activity is the traditional game “Tic-Tac-Toe,” which ensures that patients are included in the process of solving various problems that arise during the course of game activity.

So, from the existing level of technology, the device “Game panel simulator for group exercises to restore fine motor skills, visual-spatial memory and intellectual activity in patients of a neurological clinic” is known (Patent RU 182218 U1 of 08/07/2018).

Structurally, this device consists of a plate, the surface of which is divided into nine or sixteen square cells, in the center of each of which is a cylindrical protrusion with an external thread for winding plastic plugs with images of “crosses” or “zeroes”.

Thus, this device provides the ability to simultaneously restore fine motor skills and intellectual activity in patients of a neurological clinic due to the fact that the traditional game “Tic-Tac-Toe” is used as a method aimed at restoring intellectual activity, and as a method aimed at restoring fine Motility uses screwing on plugs onto cylindrical protrusions.

The disadvantages of this device when used for classes to restore the motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity in patients with a neurological clinic are:

a) this device is designed for the restoration of fine motor skills and does not provide the ability to restore motor functions of the hands;

b) the need to use additional elements in the form of traffic jams with images of “crosses” and “zeroes”.

Also, from the existing level of technology, the device “Gaming simulator-cube for group exercises to restore intellectual activity and motor functions of the hands in patients of a neurological clinic” is known (Patent RU 187759 U1 of 03/18/2019).

This device is a plastic cube-shaped case with handles along two opposite vertices, and square recess cells are made on each of the six sides of the case, forming a single playing field for playing Tic-Tac-Toe.

During classes with this device, one of the patients, holding it by one of the pens, writes the image of a “cross” in one of the recesses with a water marker, and then transfers the device to another patient, who, holding it by the other pen, writes the image “ tac toe ”into another cell-recess, etc.

At the same time, patients, in order to be able to see the playing field and enter the corresponding icons in the cell-recesses, are forced to carry out various movements (turns, tilts, rotation) with the hand holding the device, which contribute to the restoration of the motor functions of the hand.

Also, from the existing level of technology, the device “A simulator plate for group exercises to restore the motor functions of the hands, intellectual activity and spatial memory in patients of a neurological clinic” is known (Patent RU 189018 U1 of 05/06/2019).

This device is a flat, square-shaped base with pens located on two opposite corners, and square recess cells are made on both sides of the base, forming a single playing field for playing Tic-Tac-Toe.

The process of training with this device is similar to the training process with the “Game simulator-cube for group exercises for restoring intellectual activity and motor functions of the hands in patients of a neurological clinic” discussed above.

However, prolonged work with each of these devices leads to addiction in patients and a decrease in interest in classes, which helps to reduce the effectiveness of rehabilitation education.

Therefore, in order to increase the variety of devices, for group exercises to restore the motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity, ensuring the maintenance of patients' interest in the process of rehabilitation exercises, a "Game two-plate simulator for group exercises to restore the motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity in patients of a neurological clinic" was developed (hereinafter referred to as the "Two-Plate Gaming Simulator").

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

a) ensuring the possibility of conducting classes aimed at the simultaneous restoration of motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity;

b) maintaining the interest of patients in the process of rehabilitation exercises through the use of a new original gaming device;

c) providing the possibility of conducting classes for patients with impaired fine motor skills and the presence of hand tremor due to the fact that the cells are made in the form of recesses that do not allow the writing instrument to go beyond them;

d) the simplicity of the design of the "Game Trainer", contributing to its widespread adoption in clinical practice.

The technical result of the claimed utility model is to increase the arsenal of devices designed for group exercises to restore the motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity, provided by the structural elements of the declared "Game two-plate simulator", allowing group exercises to simultaneously restore the motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity with a wide the contingent of patients in a neurological clinic, including patients with fine motor impairment Ricky and the presence of hand tremors.

This technical result is ensured due to the fact that the “Game two-plate simulator” contains two identical square plastic plates connected to each other by means of a plastic holder of circular cross section in a single structure; while on the outer surfaces of both plates the same square recess cells are made, which are arranged in rows parallel to the sides of the plates, and the number of recess cells in each row is equal to the number of rows on each of the plates; while the cell-recesses are separated from each other and from the outer edge of the plates by jumpers of the same width, and the number and location of the cell-recesses on the surface of each plate are the same.

In a preferred embodiment of the “Two-plate gaming simulator”, the number of recess cells on the surface of each plate may be nine, sixteen or twenty-five pieces.

In a preferred embodiment of the “Game Dual Plate Simulator”, the recess cells are highlighted in a color different from the color of the plates.

In a preferred embodiment of the “Two-Plate Gaming Simulator”, notches are made on the surface of the holder.

The essence of the utility model "Two-plate game simulator for group exercises to restore the motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity in patients of a neurological clinic" is illustrated by the drawings, which show:

In FIG. 1 is a general view of the “Game dual-plate simulator”;

In FIG. 2 is a side view of the “Game dual-plate simulator”.

The claimed “Two-plate gaming simulator” (see Fig. 1, 2) consists of two identical plastic plates (1) of a square shape, connected to each other by a plastic holder (2) of circular cross section in a single structure, while on the outer surfaces of both plates (1) identical square recessed cells were made (3), intended for inscribing in them with a water marker icons such as “crosses” and “zeroes” during the classes.

The dimensions indicated below for this specific “Two-Plate Gaming Simulator” are not signs of narrowing the scope of legal protection, as they may change in the process of its creation.

The length of the side of each plate (1) is the same and is 70-120 mm, and the thickness of each plate (1) is the same and is 3-5 mm.

The holder (2) is located in the center between the plates (1), its diameter is 20-35 mm, and the length is 90-120 mm.

Recess cells (3) are located on the surface of each plate (1) in rows parallel to the sides of the plates (1), and the number of recess cells (3) in each row is equal to the number of rows on each of the plates (1).

Cells-recesses (3) are separated from each other and from the outer edge of the plates (1) by jumpers (4) of the same width of 2-4 mm.

The depth of the cell-recesses (3) is the same and is 1-2 mm.

The number and location of recess cells (3) on the surface of each plate (1) is the same and can be nine (3 rows of 3 recess cells (3) in each row), sixteen (4 rows of 4 recess cells (3) per each row) or twenty-five (5 rows of 5 recess cells (3) in each row) pieces on the surface of each plate (1).

Cell-recesses (3) located on the surfaces of both plates (1) form a single playing field for the game “Tic-tac-toe”, the feature of which is that a series of icons (“crosses” or “tac-toe”) inscribed in cells- recesses (3) of one plate (1), can be continued in the cell-recesses (3) of another plate (1).

For better perception by patients of the cells-recesses (3), they are highlighted in a color (for example, by means of paint) that differs from the color of the plates (1) of the “Two-plate gaming simulator”.

For the convenience of holding the “Game two-plate simulator” in the patient’s hand, notches (5) are made on the surface of the holder (2).

The “Two-plate game simulator for group exercises to restore the motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity in patients of a neurological clinic” works as follows.

Before the start of the lesson, the specialist forms a group of two patients who have approximately the same degree of impaired motor function of the hand and intellectual activity.

Next, one of the patients takes the “Game two-plate simulator” with a hand with impaired movement (restoring the motor functions of the hand) by the holder (2), and writes the image of a “cross” into one of the recesses (3) with an easily erasable water marker (3) plates (1).

After that, the “Game dual-plate simulator” is located on the desktop, and the other patient takes it with a hand with impaired movement (restoring the motor functions of the hand) by the holder (2) and carries out the next move (restoring intellectual activity), entering the “zero” image in another cell - deepening (3) of any plates (1).

The game ends with the victory of one of the patients, who, in accordance with the rules of the game “Tic-Tac-Toe”, made up a series of a certain number of “tic-tac-toe” or “tac-toe” in the recess cells (3) of the “Game two-plate simulator”, or in a draw, when to draw up a number failed to any of the patients.

Thus, in the course of the group lesson “Game two-plate simulator”, it is constantly transmitted (restoration of motor functions of the arm) from one patient to another patient, each of whom is forced to perform a hand with impaired movements, holding “ Two-plate game simulator ”, various movements: tilting, turning (restoring the motor functions of the arm), allowing you to see all the cell-recesses (3) with images of“ cross "And" zeros "on both plates (1).

Moreover, the design features of the recess cells (3), which are made below the surfaces of both plates (1), facilitate the process of inscribing badges in them for patients with impaired fine motor skills and the presence of hand tremors, and the small depth of the recess cells (3) does not prevent removal icons inscribed in them, using a sponge designed to erase water markers.

In addition to the traditional game “Tic-Tac-Toe”, “Game Two-Plate Trainer” can be used for various versions of the game “Tic-Tac-Toe” with other rules.

Along with the use of the "Game two-plate simulator" for group exercises to restore the motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity in patients of a neurological clinic, it can be used in the following cases:

a) when conducting classes to restore the motor functions of the hands impaired due to various other diseases, for example, hand injuries, the consequences of surgical operations;

b) when conducting correctional and developmental classes with children with impaired formation of motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity;

c) during neurocognitive trainings with people of advanced and senile age;

d) as an original gaming device that implements a variant of the game “Tic-tac-toe” on the playing field, consisting of two plates connected by a holder.

Thus, the “Two-plate Gaming Simulator” is a new original device that allows conducting group exercises to simultaneously restore the motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity with a wide range of patients in a neurological clinic, including patients with impaired fine motor skills and the presence of hand tremor.

The declared “Game two-plate simulator” introduces an element of novelty into the process of rehabilitation classes with patients, turning them into an interesting and attractive neuropsychological training for patients.
