Description

This useful model relates to medicine in the field of neurology, neurorehabilitation and neuropsychology and can be used in neurorehabilitation departments of neurological and neurosurgical clinics when conducting group sessions to restore impaired finger and hand movements, as well as intellectual activity in neurological patients with organic brain lesions of various etiology.

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 education, which is based on the use of the social environment and other social factors, is a group form of training, which contributes to an increase in the efficiency of restoration of impaired mental functions, expanding and supplementing individual classes with a specialist and independent studies of patients while they are in a 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 motor functions in neurological patients, including movements of the fingers and hand, as well as mental functions, including intellectual activity.

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 disturbed movements of the fingers and hands, various devices and simulators are used, which ensure the inclusion of the fingers and the hand 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 state of the art, the device "Wall panel for ergotherapy" I can "is known (Company" Aura-Med ", Wall panel for occupational therapy" I can ", found on 05/30/2021 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 hand 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 existing prior 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 the installation of plug-chips, differing in two colors, one of which conventionally means "crosses", and the other is "noughts".

Unlike the device discussed above, which is based on imitating various actions (which do not lead to the achievement of final results), the use of plastic plugs 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 it is used in the course of group exercises to restore the movements of the fingers and wrist, 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 six-sided simulator for group exercises to restore motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity in patients with a neurological clinic" (Patent RU 196449 U1 dated 02.28.2020).

Structurally, this device is a plastic case in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped, on each of the faces of which there are square cells-recesses, forming a single playing field for playing "Tic-Tac-Toe".

In the course of training with this device, one of the patients inscribes an image of a "cross" in one of the recessed cells with a water marker, after which the other patient, in accordance with the rules of the game "Tic-tac-toe", inscribes the image of a "zero" in any of the free cells - deepening of the playing field, etc.

At the same time, holding the device and performing various actions with it (tilts, turns, allowing you to see the entire playing field) is carried out by each of the patients with a hand with impaired movements, which contributes to the restoration of motor functions of the hands.

However, this device does not provide the possibility of conducting exercises to restore the movements of the fingers of the hand by the method based on the experience of many patients, which have been strengthened in the past, connected with holding the plugs with the fingers of the hand, installing them in round holes, and then removing them from these holes.

In order to overcome the shortcomings of the above devices and simulators, a "Hexagon game 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 Hexagon game 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 use of ready-made elements in the construction of the "Hexagon Game Simulator" that reduce its cost;

g) the simplicity of the design of the "Hexagon play simulator", which contributes to its widespread introduction into clinical practice.

The technical result of the claimed useful model is the realization of the possibility of conducting attractive and interesting for patients classes on restoring movements of fingers and hands, as well as intellectual activity, provided due to the structural elements of the declared "Game Hexagon Trainer", allowing to conduct group classes with patients in a playful way , which 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 "Hexagon game simulator" contains a body in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped, consisting of six rectangular faces, each of which has marking lines (2) forming on the surface of each face of the body square cells of the same size, in the center of each of which a round hole is made; in this case, all round holes are the same, and they have plugs-counters that differ in two colors.

In the preferred Hexagon Play Trainer, the body is made of wood.

In a preferred embodiment of the Hexagon Play Trainer, the body is made of plastic.

The essence of the utility model "Hexagon game simulator 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 - view of the body of the "Hexagon Game Trainer" from the side of the upper end face (without plugs-chips);

FIG. 2, 3 - views of the body of the "Gaming Hexagon Trainer" from the side of the side faces (without plugs-counters);

FIG. 4 - view of the "Hexagon game simulator" from the side of the upper end face (with installed plugs-counters);

FIG. 5, 6 - view of the "Hexagon game simulator" from the side of the side faces (with installed plugs-counters).

The declared "Game simulator-hex" is a body (1) (see Fig. 1-3), having the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, consisting of six rectangular faces: four side faces and two end faces (one upper and one lower), on each of which lines (2) of marking (2) are applied (for example, with a dark paint), forming on the surface of each of the six edges of the body (1) square cells (3) of the same size, in the center of each of which there is a round hole (4 ), designed to install the plug-token (5) (see Fig. 4-6).

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

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

The thickness of the lines (2) of the marking is 1-3 mm, and the size of the side of each square cell (3) is 30-50 mm.

Marking lines (2) are drawn along the edges of each face of the body (1) and directly on their surfaces, forming square cells (3) of the same size on the surface of each of the six faces of the body (1).

The opposite sides of the body (1) are the same in shape and size, and contain the same number of square cells (3).

Square cells (3) are located on the surfaces of the four side faces of the body (1) in horizontal rows, the number of which is the same on each side face and ranges from 1 to 4 or more rows.

In this case, the number of square cells (3) in each horizontal row on two opposite side faces of the body (1) is the same and ranges from 2 to 6 or more pieces.

The number of square cells (3) on each of the end faces of the body (1) is the same and depends on the number of square cells (3) in the horizontal rows of the side faces of the body (1).

Thus, the total number of round holes (4) in each of the end faces of the body (1) can be 4 pcs. (2x2), 6 pcs. (2x3), 8 pcs. (2x4), 9 pcs. (3х3), 10 pcs. (2x5), 12 pcs. (3x4), 14 pcs. (2x7), 15 (3x5), 16 pcs. (4x4) or more.

Square cells (3) with round holes (4), made on all six sides of the body (1) of the "Game simulator-hex" form a single playing field for the game "Tic-tac-toe", the game elements of which are plug-chips (5), differing in two colors (see Fig. 4-6), which are installed in the process of occupation in the round holes (4) of the body (1).

In this case, the plugs-counters (5) of one color (for example, white) conventionally denote "crosses", and plugs-counters (5) of a different color (for example, black) conventionally denote "zeros".

The dimensions (diameter and depth) of each round hole (4) (which can be blind or through) 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 exercise ...

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 simulator-hex" during the game.

The following can be used as stoppers (5):

a) existing plastic or silicone caps 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 training with the "Hexagon Game Simulator", the cylindrical part of which has a diameter of 15-20 mm and a length of 10-20 mm.

The work with the device "Game simulator-hexagon 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, the "Hexagon game simulator" is located on the surface of the work table in front of the patients, each of whom in turn removes by hand with impaired movements (restoration of finger movements) chip plugs (5) from round holes (4).

At the same time, to remove all plugs-chips (5), each of the patients must turn the "Hexagon game simulator", including in this process a hand with impaired movements (restoration of hand movements).

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

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.

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 of cork-chips (5) of the same color, installed in the round holes (4) of one or more edges of the case (1), or in a draw, when none of the patients succeeded in making a row of cork-counters (5).

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

Thus, the effectiveness of the "Hexagon game simulator" 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 plug-pieces (5) installed in round holes (4).

Also, the effectiveness of the "Hexahedron game simulator" is 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 of the patients, there is his motivation to exercise from the side of the other patient.

Along with exercises aimed at restoring finger and hand movements, as well as intellectual activity in neurological patients, the Hexahedron Game Simulator 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 that ensures the implementation of the game "Tic-Tac-Toe" on a hexagonal playing field.

Thus, the declared "Hexagon game simulator" 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 installing and removing plugs-chips; b) hand movements when turning the body of the device; c) intellectual activity in solving game problems arising in the course of the game "Tic-Tac-Toe".

The declared "Hexagon 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 "Hexagon game simulator" can be widely used in clinical practice.
