Description

This useful model relates to medicine in the field of neurology and neuropsychology and can be used in neurorehabilitation departments of neurological and neurosurgical clinics when conducting classes on restoring impaired finger and hand movements, as well as intellectual activity in patients of a neurological clinic.

For the effectiveness of restorative training, the forms of its organization, used in the course of classes with patients of a neurological clinic, with disorders of various mental and motor functions, play an important role.

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

One of the forms of organization of restorative training, which is based on the use of the social environment and other social factors, is the group form of training, which contributes to an increase in the efficiency of restoration of impaired mental and motor functions, expanding and supplementing individual training with a specialist and independent training of patients during their stay in neurological clinic.

Group lessons allow realizing, 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, competitiveness, etc. (Tsvetkova LS Aphasia and restorative education. M .; Moscow Psychological and Social Institute Voronezh: Publishing House of NPO "MODEK", 2001, p. 9).

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

The use of the group form of training contributes to an increase in the effectiveness of restorative training when working on the restoration of various mental functions in patients with neurological clinic, including intellectual activity, as well as motor functions, including movements of fingers and hands.

Violation of the movements of the fingers and hands, as well as intellectual activity occurs in patients with a neurological clinic due to organic lesions of the brain of various etiologies.

In everyday life, this leads to difficulties in performing various household actions by patients that require precise, coordinated movements of the fingers and hand.

To restore the movements of the fingers of the hand, various devices and simulators are used that ensure the inclusion of the fingers in various movements, one of which is the rotation of a small object by the fingers of the hand.

From the existing state of the art, there is a known device "Exercise machine table" Panel with nuts "", designed to restore the movements of the fingers of the hand by performing exercises based on twisting and unscrewing metal nuts with the fingers (Online store "TD Armada", Exercise machine table "Panel with nuts ", found on the Internet on 20.03.2021 at https://armada24.ru/product/trenazher-nastolnyj-panel-s-gajkami/).

Structurally, this device is a three-stage wooden base, at each stage of which there are four metal screws with nuts of different sizes. The disadvantages of this device when it is used in the course of group exercises to restore the movements of the fingers and wrist, as well as intellectual activity in patients of the neurological clinic are:

a) this device is not intended for use in group activities;

b) this device is designed to restore the movements of the fingers of the hand, but does not provide the ability to restore the movements of the hand;

c) this device is not intended to restore intellectual activity;

d) the uniformity and monotony of the movements performed by twisting-unscrewing the nuts, which can lead to a decrease in patients' interest in classes and their rapid fatigue;

e) work with this device is possible only if there is a horizontal surface on which it must be installed.

Also, from the existing state of the art, 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" (RU 182218 U1 dated 07.08.2018) is known. Structurally, this device is a rectangular plate, on the surface of which a marking is applied in the form of a playing field for the game "Tic-Tac-Toe", which consists of identical cells, in the center of each of which there is a cylindrical protrusion with an external thread, designed for winding plastic plug-chips containing images of "crosses" and "zeroes".

In contrast to the device discussed above, based on the use of metal nuts, the process of twisting-unscrewing plastic plugs is more effective for restoring finger movements in patients with a neurological clinic, due to the fact that:

a) the experience of performing this action is available to one degree or another in all patients, therefore this action is more automated and accessible for implementation by patients;

b) the process of winding-unscrewing the plugs is included in the game activity, which is aimed at restoring intellectual activity and contributing to the maintenance of patients' interest in classes.

The disadvantages of this device when it is used in the course of group exercises to restore the movements of the fingers and wrist, as well as intellectual activity in patients of the neurological clinic are:

a) this device is designed to restore the movements of the fingers of the hand, but does not provide the ability to restore the movements of the hand;

b) this device is based on the use of the simplest version of the game "Tic-tac-toe", which contributes to a decrease in interest in classes in some patients.

There is also known a device "Exercise machine-ball for exercises to restore movements of fingers and hands and visual-spatial memory in patients of a neurological clinic" (RU 177261 U1 dated 02.14.2018). Structurally, this device is a plastic spherical body, on the surface of which there are six cylindrical protrusions with an external thread, designed for winding plastic plugs-chips of various colors.

In the course of training with this device, work cards are used containing images of the device with screwed-on cork-chips of different colors, the location of which the patient must remember, and then screw the cork-counters of similar colors onto the corresponding cylindrical protrusions of the body.

The disadvantages of this device when it is used in the course of group exercises to restore the movements of the fingers and wrist, as well as intellectual activity in patients of the neurological clinic are:

a) this device is not intended for use in group activities;

b) this device is not intended to restore intellectual activity.

The known device "Exercise machine-quadrangular prism for group exercises for the restoration of motor functions of the hands, intellectual activity and spatial memory in patients with neurological clinic" (RU 188373 U1 dated 04/09/2019). Structurally, this device is a plastic case in the shape of a regular quadrangular prism, on both sides of which there are conical handles, and on the surface of each side face of the case there are recessed cells that form a single playing field for playing Tic-Tac-Toe.

In the course of training, one of the patients, holding this device by one of the handles, inscribes an image of a "cross" into one of the recessed cells, after which he hands the device over to another patient, who takes it by the other handle and inscribes the image of a "zero" with a water marker. any free recess cell. At the same time, in order to be able to see the entire playing field, patients are forced to make various movements (tilts, turns, etc.) with the hand holding the device, which contribute to the restoration of the motor functions of the hand.

The disadvantages of this device when it is used in the course of group exercises to restore the movements of the fingers and wrist, as well as intellectual activity in patients of the neurological clinic are:

a) this device does not provide the ability to restore the movements of the fingers;

b) the difficulty of holding the device by the handle with the fingers of the hand for patients with impaired motor functions of the fingers.

In order to overcome the shortcomings of the above devices and simulators, a "Game Prism Trainer for Group Lessons to Restore Finger and Hand Movement, as well as Intellectual Activity in Patients of a Neurological Clinic" (hereinafter referred to as "Game Prism Trainer") has been developed.

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

a) the structural elements of the device must ensure that the patients perform actions simultaneously directed both at the restoration of motor functions - movements of the fingers and hand, and at the restoration of mental functions - intellectual activity;

b) the structural elements of the device aimed at restoring the movements of the fingers and hands should provide an attractive and interesting play activity for patients;

c) the structural elements of the device must ensure the restoration of the movements of the fingers of the hand during the execution of rotational movements when winding-unscrewing the caps-chips;

d) the structural elements of the device must ensure the restoration of hand movements during the rotation of the device, ensuring the ability to see the entire playing field;

e) the structural elements of the device must ensure the restoration of intellectual activity in the course of solving game problems arising in the process of the game "Tic-Tac-Toe";

f) the simplicity of the design of the "Play simulator-prism" should contribute to its widespread implementation in clinical practice.

The technical result of the claimed utility model is to expand the arsenal of technical means for group exercises in a playful form for the simultaneous effective restoration of finger and hand movements, as well as intellectual activity, provided due to the simplicity and compactness of structural elements that increase the volume of elements for solving game problems and a variety of movements , both with your fingers and with your hand.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that a game simulator-prism for group exercises to restore the movements of fingers and hands, as well as intellectual activity, in patients of a neurological clinic, containing a hollow body made of plastic, has the shape of a regular prism, on the side faces of which lines are drawn markings forming on the surfaces of each side face of rectangular cells of the same size, in the center of each of which there is a hollow cylindrical protrusion with an external thread, while plastic caps are screwed onto the cylindrical protrusions, differing in two colors, and on one of the side faces of the body a dividing line is drawn, which differs from the marking lines in greater thickness.

Preferably, the hollow body is in the shape of a triangular prism.

Preferably, the hollow body is in the shape of a quadrangular prism.

Preferably, the hollow body is in the shape of a pentagonal prism.

Preferably, the hollow body is in the shape of a hexagonal prism.

in fig. 2 shows a side view of the body of the "Game simulator-prism" without caps-chips;

in fig. 3 shows a side view of the "Play simulator-prism" with screwed caps-counters;

in fig. 4 shows a general view of the "Play simulator-prism" with screwed caps-counters.

The declared "Game simulator-prism" is a hollow body (1) made of plastic, having the shape of a regular prism (see Figs. 1, 2), on the side faces of which are marked (for example, with dark paint) marking lines (2) forming on the surfaces of each side face there are rectangular cells (3) of the same size, in the center of each of which there is a hollow cylindrical protrusion (4) with an external thread designed for screwing on a plastic cap-chip (5) (see Fig. 3, 4) ...

"Prism - polyhedron", two faces of which are congruent (equal) polygons lying in parallel planes, and the other faces are parallelograms that have common sides with these polygons. These parallelograms are called lateral faces of the prism, and the remaining two polygons are called its bases. , lying at the base, determines the name of the prism: triangle - triangular prism, quadrangle - quadrangular prism; pentagon - pentagonal prism, etc.

A straight prism is a prism whose side edges are perpendicular to the base plane, which means that all side faces are rectangles. A regular prism is a straight prism, the base of which is a regular polygon. The side faces of a regular prism are equal rectangles. (Wikipedia. Prism (geometry), found on 03/20/2021 on the Internet at: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(geometry)). In this case, the lateral edges of the prism are the common sides of its lateral faces (Prism, found on 03/20/2021 on the Internet at: https://resh.edu.ru/subject/lesson/5443/conspect/21269/).

The dimensions of this particular "Play simulator-prism" indicated below are not signs that narrow the scope of legal protection, since they may change in the process of its creation.

The hollow body (1) of the "Play Prism Trainer" may be in the form of a triangular, quadrangular, pentagonal, or hexagonal prism.

The number of cells (3) on each face of the hollow body (1) is the same and ranges from 3 to 6 or more pieces.

The length of the hollow body (1) is 100-300 mm, the width of its lateral edge is 30-60 mm, and the wall thickness of the hollow body (1) is 1-3 mm.

Marking lines (2) are drawn along the edges of each side face of the hollow body (1) and directly on their surfaces, forming on each side face the rectangular cells (3) of the same size, which form a single playing field for the game "Tic-tac-toe", the game elements of which are plastic caps (5) of two colors (one of which stands for "crosses", and the other "noughts"), which are screwed during the lesson onto cylindrical protrusions (4) located in the center of each of the cells (3) ...

The height and threaded diameter of each cylindrical protrusion (4) are made to match the height and threaded diameter of the plastic cap (5) with an internal thread.

As caps-chips (5) can be used:

a) plastic covers specially made for training with the "Game simulator-prism";

b) industrially produced plastic lids with a diameter of 14 mm (Plastic lid (diameter 14 mm) https://www.era-vodoleya.ru/krishka_1/) up to 28 mm (Plastic lid (diameter 28 mm) https: // www. era-vodoleya.ru/krishka_32/) and more.

To indicate the boundaries of the playing field, a dividing line (6) is applied to one of the side edges (located between two adjacent side edges) of the hollow body (1), which differs from the marking lines (2) in greater thickness.

The operation of the device "Game simulator-prism for group exercises to restore the movements of fingers and hands, as well as intellectual activity in patients of the neurological clinic" is carried out as follows.

Before conducting a course of rehabilitation classes, a specialist forms a group of two patients who have approximately the same degree of disturbance in the movements of the fingers and hands, and, if possible, intellectual activity.

At the beginning of the lesson, one of the patients, holding the “Game simulator-prism” with his healthy hand, unscrews the caps-counters (5) from all cylindrical protrusions (4) with his hand with impaired movements (restoration of movements of the fingers of the hand).

In this case, to unscrew all the caps-counters (5), the patient needs to turn the "Game simulator-prism", including in this process the hand with impaired movements (restoration of hand movements).

Twisted caps-counters (5) are divided equally between patients in such a way that one of them receives caps-counters (5) of one color (denoting "crosses"), and the other patient receives caps-counters (5) of a different color (denoting "noughts ").

Next, one of the patients winds (restoring the movements of the fingers of the hand) the lid-counter (5), denoting the "cross", onto one of the cylindrical protrusions (4) of the hollow body (1), after which he transfers the "Game simulator-prism" to another patient, who takes it with his healthy hand and carries out the next move (restoration of intellectual activity), winding (restoration of movements of the fingers of the hand) the lid-counter (5) denoting "zero" on some other cylindrical protrusion (4) of the hollow body (1), etc. etc.

The game ends with the victory of one of the patients who, in accordance with the rules of the game "Tic-Tac-Toe", made a row (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) of the caps (5) of the same color, or ends in a draw when none of the patients managed to make a row from the caps-chips (5).

Thus, in the course of the game, the patients wind (restoration of finger movements) the caps (5) onto the cylindrical protrusions (4) of the hollow body (1) of the “Game simulator-prism”, while turning it with the hand with impaired movements (restoration movements of the hand) to provide an opportunity to see the entire playing field with the lids-counters located on it (5), solving various game tasks (restoration of intellectual activity) arising during the game in the course of this activity.

After the end of the game, the patients unscrew (restoring the movements of the fingers and hand) all the caps-counters (5) from the cylindrical protrusions (4), after which the "Game simulator-prism" can be used for a new game.

Along with exercises aimed at restoring finger and hand movements, as well as intellectual activity in patients in a neurological clinic, the "Game Prism Trainer" can be effectively used in the following cases:

a) when conducting correctional and developmental classes with children who have disorders in the formation of fine motor skills and intellectual activity;

b) when conducting neuropsychological trainings with elderly people;

c) as a game aimed at developing and training fine motor skills and intellectual activity in healthy children.

Thus, the declared "Game simulator-prism" allows to conduct attractive and interesting group exercises for patients, aimed at the simultaneous restoration of several processes: a) movements of the fingers of the hand when winding-unscrewing the caps-chips; b) hand movements when turning the body of the device; c) intellectual activity in solving various problems arising in the process of the game "Tic-Tac-Toe".

The declared "Game simulator-prism" introduces an element of novelty into the process of rehabilitation exercises with patients, turning them into an interesting and attractive neuropsychological training for patients.

Due to the simplicity of design and ease of use, the "Play simulator-prism" can be widely used in clinical practice.
