Description

This useful model relates to medicine, to the section of neurology and neuropsychology and can be used in neurorehabilitation departments of neurological and neurosurgical clinics when conducting group sessions on the simultaneous restoration of hand motor functions and intellectual activity in neurological patients with organic brain lesions of various etiologies.

The forms of its organization, used in the course of classes with 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 social factors, is a 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 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 L.S.Aphazia and restorative education. M .; Moscow Psychological and Social Institute Voronezh: Publishing House NPO "MODEK", 2001).

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

Thus, 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, including intellectual activity, as well as motor functions, including motor functions of the hands of neurological patients.

In Russian 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 Ministry of Social Security, Voronezh: Modek, 2004 ).

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

One of the widespread methods used in the course of group lessons to restore intellectual activity is the traditional game "Tic-tac-toe", which ensures the inclusion of patients in the process of solving game problems arising in the course of game activity.

So, from the existing level of technology known device "Game simulator-cube for group exercises to restore intellectual activity and motor functions of the hands in patients with neurological clinic" (Patent RU 187759 U1 from 18.03.2019).

This device is a plastic cube-shaped case, on two opposite vertices of which handles are located, and on the surface of each of the edges of the case there are square recessed cells forming a single playing field for the game "Tic-tac-toe".

In the course of training with this device, one of the patients, holding it by one of the handles, inscribes the image of a "cross" in one of the recessed cells with a water marker, and then hands the device to another patient, who, holding it by the other handle, inscribes the image " zero "to another indentation cell, and so on.

At the same time, patients, in order to be able to see the playing field with icons inscribed in the recessed cells, are forced to carry out with the hand holding the device various movements (turns, tilts), which contribute to the restoration of the motor functions of the hand.

Thus, this device provides the ability to work on the simultaneous restoration of the motor functions of the hand and intellectual activity due to the fact that the restoration of intellectual activity is carried out by solving game tasks by the patients, and the restoration of the motor functions of the hand is carried out by performing various hand movements with the device.

Also, from the existing level of technology known device "Game three-section simulator for group exercises to restore motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity in patients with neurological clinic" (Patent RU 195448 U1 from 28.01.2020).

This device is a plastic base, consisting of three, located at the same angles to each other, identical flat rectangular sections, on the surfaces of which there are rows of recessed cells that form a single playing field for the game "Tic-Tac-Toe".

The process of exercising with this device is similar to the process of exercising with the above-mentioned game simulator-cube for group exercises to restore intellectual activity and motor functions of hands in patients of a neurological clinic.

However, prolonged work with each of these devices leads to addiction in patients and a decrease in interest in classes, which contributes to a decrease in the effectiveness of restorative learning.

In order to expand the arsenal of devices for group exercises for the restoration of motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity, ensuring the maintenance of patients' interest in recovery exercises, a "Game three-plate simulator for group exercises for the restoration of motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity in neurological patients" has been developed (hereinafter referred to as the Game three-plate 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 and strengthening the interest of patients in restorative activities through the use of a new device;

c) ensuring the possibility of conducting classes in an attractive game form for patients;

d) ensuring the possibility of conducting classes for patients with fine motor impairment and the presence of hand tremors due to the fact that the cells are made in the form of indentations that do not allow the writing instrument to go beyond their limits;

e) the compactness of the playing three-plate simulator, which makes it possible to carry out exercises with it in various conditions;

f) the simplicity of the design of the play three-plate simulator, contributing to its widespread implementation in clinical practice.

The technical result of the claimed useful model is the expansion of the arsenal of devices intended for group exercises to restore motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity, contributing to the maintenance and strengthening of patients' interest in the process of recovery exercises, and provided due to the structural elements of the claimed Game three-plate simulator, which allows group exercises in simultaneous restoration of motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity with a wide contingent of neurological patients, including patients with fine motor disorders and the presence of hand tremors.

This technical result is provided due to the fact that the Game three-plate trainer contains a plastic body formed by three, located perpendicular to each other, the same square plates, on the outer and inner surfaces of each of which there are rectangular cells-recesses of the same depth, which are located on the surfaces of each plate in rows parallel to the sides of the plates, and the number of groove cells in each row is equal to the number of rows of groove cells, while the groove cells are made with the possibility of inscribing icons like "crosses" and "zeroes" into them with a water marker.

In a preferred embodiment of the Play Three-Plated Trainer, the indentation cells are highlighted in a color that differs from the color of the body.

The essence of the useful model A game three-plate simulator for group exercises to restore motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity in neurological patients is illustrated by drawings, which show

FIG. 1 - General view of the Game three-plate simulator;

FIG. 2 - top view of the Game three-plate simulator;

FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the Play three-plate trainer.

The declared game three-plate simulator (see Fig. 1-3) is a spatial structure consisting of a plastic case formed by three, located perpendicular to each other (similar to three adjacent sides of the cube), identical plates (1) of a square shape, on the outer and inner surfaces of each of which are made of rectangular cells-recesses (2), intended for inscribing in them with a water marker icons such as "crosses" and "zeroes" in the course of the lessons.

The dimensions indicated below for this particular Game three-plate trainer are not indications that narrow the scope of legal protection, since they may change in the process of its creation.

The side lengths of each plate (1) are the same and are 50-80 mm, the thickness of each plate (1) is also the same and is equal to 4-6 mm.

The plates (1), forming the body of the Playing three-plate trainer, are perpendicular (at an angle of 90 degrees) to each other in such a way that each of the plates (1) adjoins the sides of the other two plates (1) on two sides, and all three plates (1) adjoin each other at one of their corners.

Cells-depressions (2) are located on the surfaces of each plate (1) in rows parallel to the sides of the plates (1), and the number of cells-depressions (2) in each row is equal to the number of rows of cells-depressions (2).

Thus, the number of recessed cells (2) on each surface of each plate (1) is the same and can be: 4 (four) pcs. (two rows of two groove cells in each row); 9 (nine) pcs. (three rows of three groove cells in each row); 16 (sixteen) pcs. (four rows of four groove cells in each row) or 25 (twenty five) pcs. (five rows of five recessed cells in each row).

The recessed cells (2) are separated from each other and from the edges of the plates (1) by bridges 2-5 mm wide. In this case, the width of the bridges between adjacent cells-recesses (2) on the surfaces of each of the plates (1) is the same.

Cells-recesses (2) have a rectangular shape, and can also have a square shape, since a square is a special case of a rectangle (Wikipedia. Square, https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square).

The depth of all recessed cells (2) is the same and equal to 1-2 mm.

Thus, the indentation cells (2) located on both surfaces of the three plates (1) form a single playing field for the game "Tic-tac-toe", a feature of which is that a row of icons ("crosses" or "zeroes"), inscribed in the recessed cells (2) of one plate (1), can be continued in the recessed cells (2) located on the other surface of this plate (1) or in the recessed cells (2) located on one of the other two plates (one).

At the same time, the design features of the recessed cells (2) ensure the implementation of the following functions:

a) facilitate the process of inscribing icons into them for patients with fine motor impairment and the presence of hand tremors;

b) prevent the icons inscribed in the recessed cells (2) located on the outer surface of the plate (1) from being erased, which is in contact with the horizontal surface of the desktop.

At the same time, the shallow depth of the recessed cells (2) does not prevent the icons inscribed in them from being removed by means of a sponge designed to erase water markers.

For a better perception by patients of the cells-recesses (2), they are highlighted in a color (for example, by means of paint), which differs from the color of the body of the Play three-plate simulator.

The work with the use of the Game three-plate simulator for group exercises to restore the motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity in neurological patients is carried out as follows.

Before the beginning of the lesson, the specialist forms a group of two patients with approximately the same degree of impairment of the motor functions of the hand and intellectual activity.

At the beginning of the lesson, one of the patients takes the Game three-plate simulator with his hand with impaired movements (restoration of motor functions of the hand) by the edges of two plates (1) located perpendicular to each other and inscribes the image of a "cross" into one of the cells-recesses (2), located on the surface of one of the plates (1).

After that, the game three-plate simulator is located on the desktop, and another patient takes it in the same way with his hand with impaired movements (restoration of motor functions of the hand) and carries out the next move (restoration of intellectual activity), inscribing the image of a "zero" in another depression cell (2) located on the surface of any of the 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 a row of "crosses" or "toes" in the recessed cells (2) of the game three-plate simulator, or in a draw, when neither one of the patients.

Thus, in the course of the lesson, each of the patients, before making a new move (restoration of intellectual activity), is forced to carry out various movements in the form of bends and turns (restoration of motor functions of the hand) with a hand with impaired movements, holding the Game three-plate simulator (2) with inscribed signs on the surfaces of various plates (1).

Along with the use of the Game three-plate trainer for group exercises to restore the motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity in neurological patients, it can be effectively used:

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

b) when carrying out correctional and developmental classes with children who have disorders in the formation of motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity;

c) when conducting neuropsychological trainings with elderly people;

d) as an original gaming device that implements the game "Tic-Tac-Toe" on the playing field, consisting of three plates located perpendicularly.

Thus, the game three-plate simulator contributes to the maintenance and strengthening of patients in the exercise process, allowing to carry out group game lessons for the simultaneous restoration of motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity with a wide contingent of neurological patients, including patients with fine motor disorders and the presence of hand tremors.

The declared game three-plate simulator introduces an element of novelty into the process of recovery exercises, turning them into an interesting and attractive neuropsychological training for patients.

Due to its simplicity of design and ease of use, the game three-plate simulator can be widely used in clinical practice.
