Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of medicine and developmental pedagogy and may be used in restoring and treatment of patients having pathology of the central nervous system and motor impairments of the upper extremities, in psychological and pedagogical rehabilitation and correction, and also in carrying out developmental training.
  • Biofeedback Usage of biofeedback (BFB) techniques significantly improves an effectiveness of restoring actions.
  • BOS it is understood a complex of procedures in which man through the outer feedback loop is provided by information about the state of some of his physiological functions in order to train “conscious” control of these functions.
  • Biofeedback control allows the patient to seek control (self-control) of voluntary movement parameters, to cause and fix their shifts in the required direction. In particular, returning information on characteristics of his movements back to the patient increases the opportunities of his control.
  • the most effective use of biofeedback is for restoring of movement functions of patients with impaired sensitivity.
  • the additional use of vision for tracking of patient's movement parameters allows to compensate lack of information flow through superficial and deep sensibility conductors.
  • the use of biofeedback can significantly improve voluntary control of movements also of patients with apraxia, whose possibility of voluntary targeted actions violated by destruction of the cortical level of the cerebrum.
  • Biofeedback devices for treatment and rehabilitation of the upper extremities are widely represented on the market of modern medical technology, for example, HandTutor (www.meditouch.co.iD), Hand of Hope (www.rehab-robotics.com), Gloreha (www.gloreha.coni), Amadeo (www.turomotion.com).

  • Hand of Hope www.rehab-robotics.com
  • Gloreha www.gloreha.coni
  • Amadeo www.turomotion.com
  • These devices are intended for a medical application only; they have a high cost/functionality ratio.
  • they represent a playing format of visual biofeedback in the form of a computer game, but long-term user's playing the computer games is a cause of dependence—game addiction that has a negative impact on his mental state.
  • These devices have no system of definition of objective factors (weather conditions) significantly influencing on the process of rehabilitation and treatment and, therefore, do not allow make corrections in these processes depending on these factors.
  • the toy has a case of sheet material and filler inside it.
  • the case is made of sheet material such as polyethylene, divided into sealed sections with a size smaller than the size of the pads of the fingers. Sections are distributed along the case in an appropriate manner and raised over one or both sides of the case. Air is used as the filler which is filled each section, at that each section is adapted to be destroyed by pressing on it with fingers of one hand, at least a child.
  • the device for the development of motor skills of hand fingers includes a spring mechanism disposed in the body.
  • the spring mechanism consists of a set of plate springs arranged to replace them and moving along the grooves in the body. Plate springs have pieces protruding from the body. Free ends of plate springs are connected to elements of hand-puppet controls.
  • the disadvantage of this device is the impossibility of collection, processing and storage of information on electronic media about the dynamics of development of motor skills of the fingers. Therefore, it does not allow to analyze and predict the results of the rehabilitation activities, therewith, it does not have the system to determine the environmental parameters affecting the process of treatment, restore and development of hand functions, thus, does not allow make corrections to these processes depending on these factors.
  • the closest device to the invention being proposed with regard to technical essence and achieved result, which is chosen as a prototype, is a device for rehabilitation, protected by RF patent>r° 2282430, IPC A61N1/00 A63V24/00, publ. 27 Jun. 2008.
  • the device includes a spring hand trainer, strain gauges, a personal computer for data collection, processing and storage and a hand-puppet.
  • the hand-puppet is connected to the trainer.
  • the trainer and strain gauges are placed under the hand of the patient.
  • This device is a limited scope of use—medicine, poor effectiveness due to lack of the possibility to determine the dynamics of changes in joint angles of the hands, as important measures during treatment and rehabilitation activities for restoring and development of hand functions. Also, this device does not allow to determine the dynamics of the extension movements of the hands.
  • the object of this invention is to develop a new, more effective device for restoring and developing of hand functions with biofeedback.
  • the technical result of solving the present problem consists in expanding the applicability of the device within developmental pedagogy, increasing the functional capabilities thereof in the field of medicine by means of determining dynamics for joint angles development and hand extensions, and in enhancing user quality of life.
