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 the restoration of impaired finger and hand movements, as well as intellectual activity in neurological patients.

The forms of its organization used in the course of classes with neurological patients with impairments of various mental and motor functions play an important role for the effectiveness of restorative training.

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).

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).

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 neurological patients, including intellectual activity, as well as motor functions, including movements of the fingers and hands.

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

Violation of the movements of the fingers and wrist leads to difficulties in performing various household actions by patients that require precise, coordinated movements of the fingers and the hand.

For exercises to restore the movements of the fingers of the hand in neurological patients, various devices and simulators are used, which ensure the inclusion of the fingers in various actions, ensuring the restoration of their movements.

One of the most common types of these devices are panels for ergotherapy, which are wall panels, on the surface of which various simulators are fixed that imitate household items.

So, from the existing level of technology, the device "Wall panel for ergotherapy" I can "is known (Company" Aura-Med ", Wall panel for occupational therapy" I can ", found on April 30, 2021 on the Internet at https: // aura-med.ru/reabilitatsionnoe-oborudovanie/apparati-mehanoterapii/402).

Structurally, this device is a panel made of wood, on which thirteen mini-simulators are installed in the form of a latch, hook, bolt, door handle, bell, switch, etc., which provide the ability to perform various exercises that simulate typical finger movements.

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

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

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

c) the considerable dimensions of this device make it possible to carry out classes with it only in specially equipped rooms of clinics;

d) the movements performed by the patient are mechanical, and do not represent full-fledged actions, since they do not lead to the achievement of final results (pressing the window handle does not open the window, pressing the switch button turns on the light, etc.), which contributes to a decrease in interest in classes and rapid fatigability of patients;

e) inaccessibility of training with this device for bedridden neurological patients due to its size.

Also, from the current state of the art, compact devices are known that provide the possibility of simultaneous work on the restoration of motor and mental functions, for example, "Game panel simulator for group exercises to restore fine motor skills and intellectual activity in patients of a neurological clinic" (Patent RU 181675 U1 dated 26.07 .2018).

Structurally, this device is a flat square base, the surfaces of which are playing fields for the game "Tic-tac-toe", in the cells of which there are round holes designed for installing plug-chips, differing in two colors, one of which conventionally means "crosses", and the other is "noughts".

In contrast to the device discussed above, based on imitation of various actions (which do not lead to the achievement of final results), the use of plastic stoppers during play is more effective for restoring finger and hand movements, due to the fact that:

a) the experience of performing actions with corks (removed and installed in the necks of bottles) is available in many patients, therefore this action is more robust and accessible for implementation by patients;

b) actions with plastic corks are included in an attractive play activity for patients, contributing to the maintenance of interest in the exercise process.

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

a) this device is designed to restore fine motor skills 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 simplest versions of the game "Tic-tac-toe", which leads to a decrease in interest in classes in a number of patients.

Also known from the existing prior art is the device "Game simulator-cylinder for group exercises to restore motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity in patients of a neurological clinic" (Patent RU 189164 U1 from 15.05.2019).

Structurally, this device is a plastic case in the form of a cylinder, on the end sides of which handles are located, and on the side surface there are recessed cells, forming a single playing field for playing "Tic-Tac-Toe".

During the 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 passes the device to another patient, who takes it by the other handle and inscribes the image of a "zero" in any of the free recessed cells.

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, contributing to the restoration of the motor functions of the hand.

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

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

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

In order to overcome the disadvantages of the above devices and simulators, a "Game cylinder simulator for group exercises to restore finger and hand movements, as well as intellectual activity in neurological patients" was developed (hereinafter referred to as the "Game cylinder simulator").

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

a) the actions performed by the patients should be simultaneously aimed both at restoring motor functions - movements of the fingers and hand, and at restoring mental functions - intellectual activity;

b) restoration of finger and hand movements should be carried out in the course of an attractive and interesting game activity for patients;

c) restoration of the movements of the fingers of the hand should be carried out in the course of grasping and holding the plugs-chips with the fingers of the hand, installing them into the holes of the device, and then removing them from these holes;

d) restoration of hand movements should be carried out during the implementation of turns of the device, ensuring the ability to see the entire playing field;

e) restoration of intellectual activity should be carried out 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-cylinder", contributing to its widespread implementation in clinical practice.

The technical result of the claimed useful model is the realization of the possibility of conducting attractive and interesting for patients lessons on restoring the movements of fingers and hands, as well as intellectual activity, provided by the structural elements of the declared "Game Cylinder Trainer", allowing to conduct group lessons in a playful manner, are aimed at the simultaneous restoration of finger and hand movements, as well as intellectual activity in neurological patients.

This technical result is provided due to the fact that the "Game simulator-cylinder" contains a body having the shape of a cylinder, on the lateral surface of which there are marking lines forming rectangular cells of the same size, in the center of each of which a round hole is made; moreover, rectangular cells are located on the side surface of the body in vertical rows, with the same number of rectangular cells in each vertical row; in this case, the diameter and depth of the round holes are the same, and they have plugs-chips that differ in two colors.

In a preferred embodiment of the Cylinder Play Trainer, the body is made of wood.

In the preferred embodiment of the "Play Cylinder Trainer", the body is made of plastic.

In a preferred embodiment of the Cylinder Play Trainer, one of the marking lines is wider than the other marking lines.

The essence of the useful model "Game trainer-cylinder for group exercises to restore finger and hand movements, as well as intellectual activity in neurological patients" is illustrated by drawings, which show:

FIG. 1 - General view of the body of the "Game trainer-cylinder" (without plugs-chips);

FIG. 2 - top view of the body of the "Game Cylinder Trainer" (without plugs-chips);

FIG. 3 is a general view of the "Game Cylinder Trainer" (with installed plugs-counters);

FIG. 4 is a top view of the "Game Cylinder Trainer" (with installed plugs).

The declared "Game simulator-cylinder" (see Fig. 1, 2) is a body (1) in the form of a cylinder, on the lateral surface of which are made (for example, with dark paint) lines (2a, 2b) markings, forming on the entire lateral the surfaces of the body (1) are rectangular cells (3) of the same size, in the center of each of which a round hole (4) is made, intended for installing the plug-counter (5) (see Figs. 3, 4).

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

The diameter of the body (1) of the "Play Cylinder Trainer" is 50-120 mm, and its height is 100-250 mm.

The body (1) of the "Play Cylinder Trainer" can be made of wood or plastic.

Rectangular cells (3) are located on the side surface of the body (1) in identical vertical rows, the number of which is from four to eight or more rows.

The number of rectangular cells (3) in each vertical row is the same and ranges from three to six or more pieces.

Rectangular cells (3) with round holes (4), made on the side surface of the body (1), form a single playing field for the game "Tic-tac-toe", the game elements of which are plug-chips (5), which differ in two colors (see Fig. 2) and are installed during the game in the round holes (4) of the body (1).

Thus, cork-counters (5) of one color (for example, white) conventionally denote "crosses", and plugs-counters (5) of a different color (for example, black) denote "noughts".

The width of the lines (2a) of the marking is 1-2 mm. At the same time, to indicate the boundaries of the playing field, one of the marking lines (2b), located between two vertical rows of rectangular cells (3), is made wider (3-4 mm) compared to other marking lines (2a).

The diameter and depth of each round hole (4) are the same and are made to fit the dimensions of the cylindrical part (lower part) of the token plug (5).

The cork-token (5) includes a cylindrical part (lower part) installed in a round hole (4) and a "head" (upper part), for which the cork-counters (5) are gripped and held by the fingers during the game ...

In this case, the diameter of each round hole (4) must ensure:

a) ease of installation and removal with the fingers of the hand of the plug-chips (5) from the round holes (4);

b) the density of installation of plugs-chips (5), sufficient to prevent them from falling out when turning the body (1) of the "Game Trainer-Cylinder" during the game.

The following can be used as stoppers (5):

a) existing plastic or silicone stoppers for glass bottles, for example, bottle caps "Tappi Per Bottigla" //mirishop.ru/product/nabor-probok-dlya-butylok-tappi-per-bottigla-6-sht/);

b) plastic or silicone plugs (5) specially made for exercising with the "Play simulator-cylinder", the cylindrical part of which has a diameter of 15-20 mm and a length of 10-20 mm.

To provide additional convenience for holding the body (1) of the "Play simulator-cylinder" during the game, a through central hole (6) of a circular shape can be made inside the body (1).

The work with the device "Game simulator-cylinder for group exercises to restore the movements of fingers and hands, as well as intellectual activity in neurological patients" 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-cylinder" with his healthy hand, removes with his hand with impaired movements (restoration of movements of the fingers) the plug-chips (5) from the round holes (4) of the body (1).

At the same time, to remove all plugs-chips (5), the patient needs to turn the "Game simulator-cylinder", including in this process a hand with impaired movements (restoration of hand movements).

Further, the cork-counters (5) are divided equally between the patients, so that one of them receives the cork-counters (5) of one color (denoting “crosses”), and the other patient receives the plug-counters (5) of a different color (denoting “ zeros ").

After that, one of the patients takes with the fingers of his hands with impaired movements the cork-counter (5), denoting a "cross", and installs it (restoration of movements of the fingers of the hand) in one of the round holes (4) of the body (1), after which the other patient takes fingers of the hand with impaired movement of the cork-counter (5), which means "zero" and installs it (restoration of movements of the fingers of the hand), in some other round hole (4), etc.

At the same time, in order to be able to see the entire playing field, patients are forced to turn the "Game simulator-cylinder", including in this process the hand with impaired movement (restoration of hand movements).

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 cork-chips (5) of the same color, or a draw, when a row of cork-chips (5 ) failed to any of the patients.

After the end of the game, the patients remove (restoration of movements of the fingers and hand) all plugs-counters (5) from the round holes (4) of the body (1), after which the "Game simulator-cylinder" can be used for a new game.

Thus, the effectiveness of the "Game Cylinder Trainer" is associated with the fact that during the game, patients solve various game tasks (restoration of intellectual activity), installing (restoration of finger movements) plug-chips (5) into the round holes (4) of the body ( 1), and turning it with the hand with impaired movements (restoration of hand movements) to ensure the ability to see the entire playing field with cork-chips (5).

Along with this, the effectiveness of the "Game Cylinder Trainer" is also associated with the fact that the process of training includes social factors of influence on the mental sphere of patients through the mechanisms of a small social group: interpersonal interaction, cooperation, cooperation, competitiveness. In addition, it is important that, in the case of a lack of motivation to exercise in one patient, his motivation to exercise occurs from the side of another patient.

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

a) when conducting classes to restore the movements of the fingers and hands, disturbed as a result of various other reasons, for example, injuries, the consequences of surgical operations, etc.;

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

c) when conducting neuropsychological trainings with elderly people;

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

e) as an original gaming device providing the ability to implement the game "Tic-Tac-Toe" on a cylindrical surface.

Thus, the declared "Game simulator-cylinder" allows to conduct group exercises aimed at the simultaneous restoration of several processes: a) movements of the fingers of the hand when installing and removing plug-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 "Cylinder game simulator" 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 its simplicity of design and ease of use, the "Play simulator-cylinder" can be widely used in clinical practice.
