Description

The utility model relates to the field of medicine, in particular, to the section of neurology and neurorehabilitation, where it can be used during classes to restore impaired memory using the “paired card method” during work with patients in a neurological clinic with memory impairments.

A device for working with paired cards allows you to present them to patients with impaired movements of one or two hands.

The well-known “paired card method”, which is used to restore memory and consists in the fact that the patient is shown a set of paired cards with various images (animals, fruits, household items). All cards are shuffled and stacked face down on the table in front of the patient. The patient opens two cards in a row, names the objects depicted on them and, if the images match, puts this pair of cards aside. If the images do not match, the cards are returned to their place face down. Then the patient reopens two cards in front of him and compares them. The exercise ends when all the cards are set aside (Grigoryeva V.N., Kovyazina M.S., Tkhostov A.Sh. - Cognitive neurorehabilitation of patients with focal brain lesions., M, 2006., p. 95). However, this method is difficult for patients with impaired movements of the leading arm or both hands. Therefore, in some cases, the use of this method may be completely inaccessible to a certain group of patients who need classes to restore memory using paired cards. In this regard, there is a need to create a device that provides the opportunity to deal with the method of "paired cards" in patients with impaired movements of one or two hands.

In the prior art, such devices have not been identified.

The technical result of the utility model we offer is the simplicity and convenience of working with the device due to the ability to see images from the back of cards located on the top of the panel made of frosted plexiglass, by simply pressing the buttons of the switches connected by wires to the LEDs that are connected electrically between each other. When the LEDs are turned on, the material from which the cards are made becomes transparent, and when they are turned off, they are optically impermeable. It also provides for the presentation of cards in turn with the necessary speed of their change. In addition, the developed device has small recesses - square cells with beveled edges at an angle of 30-45 degrees, which make it easy to pick up a card due to its movement in a horizontal plane, as a result of which one side rises, for which it is easily taken hand, this provides the opportunity to engage in the method of "paired cards" to patients with impaired movements of one or two hands.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the device for working with paired cards during classes on the restoration and preventive training of memory in patients of a neurological clinic contains a panel consisting of a lower and upper part, having a rectangular shape and interconnected by bolts, while the upper part is made of frosted plexiglass in the form of square cells with beveled edges at an angle of 30-45 degrees, switch buttons connected electrically to LEDs are mounted in the lower edge of each cell, to those integrated into the lower part of the panel opposite the central part of each cell and electrically connected to each other, moreover, the panel is equipped with a common switch mounted in the central part of the lower edge of the upper part of the panel, electrically connected to all LEDs, and a power supply connected to the electrically connected with all LEDs, switches, with a common switch and a power supply switch built into the side of the panel.

The proposed device is illustrated by the drawings shown in figures 1-8.

The proposed device for working with paired cards during classes on the restoration and preventive training of memory in patients of a neurological clinic "(see Fig. 1-7), contains a panel consisting of a lower part (11) and a removable upper part (1) having rectangular shape and interconnected by four bolts (12).

The upper part of the panel (1) is a playing field made of frosted plexiglass in the form of square cells (2), with beveled edges (3) at an angle of 30-45 degrees. Cards (4) made of thin cardboard are placed on square cells (2), the front side of which contains an image of an object or object (5), and the back side (6) is white (see Fig. 8).

On the lower edge of each cell (2) are mounted switch buttons (7), electrically connected to the LEDs (8), which are rigidly built into the lower part of the panel (11) opposite the central part of each cell (2). LEDs (8) are interconnected electrically. In addition, the panel is equipped with a common switch (9) mounted in the central part of the lower edge of the upper part of the panel (1), which is electrically connected to all LEDs (8). A power supply switch (10) is also mounted in the lower part of the panel (11), connected to a power source located inside the panel and electrically connected to all LEDs (8), switches (7) and a common switch (9).

When the switch button (7) is pressed, the LED (8) located on the bottom of the panel (11) under the cell (2) is turned on, as a result of which the card (4) lying on this cell is highlighted from below, and the image (5) on it the front side becomes visible through its white back side (6).

When the switch button (9) is turned on, the illumination of all cells (2) is simultaneously turned on, providing the opportunity to see images (5) located on all cards (4) before starting work. The power supply switch (10) disconnects the panel from the power source located inside the device.

The device operates as follows:

Before starting work, the cards (4) are mixed and laid out in cells (2) of the upper part of the panel (1) with the image (5) down. Then, by pressing the button (9), the LEDs (8) are turned on, which illuminate all the cells (2), due to which, for a certain time, the images (5) of all the cards (4) become visible. After turning off the LEDs (8) of all cells (2), the patient presses the switch button (7) of one of the cells (2) with a card, as a result of which this cell (2) is highlighted and the image (5) of the card (4) becomes visible. Further, the patient presses and holds the button of the switch (7) of another cell (2), in which, in his opinion, there is a card with a similar image (5), as a result of which this cell (2) is also highlighted by an LED (8). Holding the button of the second cell (2), the patient compares whether the images (5) of the two highlighted cards (4) match or do not match. Next, the patient releases the button of the switch (7) of the second cell (2), after which the brightness of their backlight decreases, allowing you to see their location in order to remove them from the playing field if the images (5) on the cards (4) match. If the images (5) on the cards (2) do not match, the patient selects another card (4) and presses the switch button (7) located in the cell (2) below it. At this moment, the LED (8) under this card (4) lights up, and the LEDs (8) of the two previous cards (4) go out. Further work is carried out in the same sequence until all cards (4) are completely removed from the top of the panel (1) (playing field). This work for a sick and healthy person is not difficult, since the beveled edges (3) at an angle of 30-45 degrees square cells (2) make it easy to pick up a card (4) due to its movement in a horizontal plane, as a result of which it one side rises, for which it is easily taken by hand. And highlighting square cells (2) with cards (4) LEDs (8), provide simplification and acceleration of work with "paired cards" and alternate presentation of cards (4) with the required speed of change.

The proposed device may include a different number of square cells of the playing field, depending on the purpose of use of this device. So, in a device designed to work with patients with severe memory impairment, the number of cells is 6-8, and in a device designed to train healthy people in memory, the number of cells in the playing field can reach 72, as in a standard game .

This device can be used.

1. When conducting individual classes in restorative education with a specialist.

2. When patients work independently in the clinic or at home.

3. When conducting group exercises with patients

4. When conducting preventive classes in order to prevent memory impairment in patients with a neurological clinic.

5. When conducting classes in order to train and improve memory in healthy people.

When conducting individual classes in restorative education with a specialist, they use a device whose upper part of the panel (1) allows placing from 6 to 12 cards (4) in the cells (2). Before starting work, the specialist selects the appropriate number of paired cards (4) and puts them in the cells (2) the upper part of the panel (1) - the playing field, then turn on the general switch (9), all the LEDs (8), making the images of all visible cards (4). The time for highlighting cards (4) is determined by a specialist, based on the degree of memory impairment of each specific patient.

Further, the specialist shows the patient an example of the selection of paired cards (4), making their images (5) visible by successively pressing two buttons of the switches (7) and LEDs (8). If the images (5) match, the specialist deletes the card data (4) from the top of the panel (1). After that, the patient performs similar actions, removing sequentially paired cards (4) from the playing field - the upper part of the panel (1). Both the specialist and the patient easily take cards (4) in their hands without experiencing inconvenience in these actions. When patients independently work in the ward or at home, the patient independently places the cards (4) on the playing field - the upper part of the panel (1), after which he performs the above steps to find paired cards (4) and put them aside while the patient does not has difficulty removing cards from the cells (2) from the top of the panel (1).

When conducting group exercises with patients in the form of a game, they use the playing field - the upper part of the panel (1), which holds a larger number of cards (4). In this case, all the above steps are performed when each patient makes one move, which consists in highlighting with the help of LEDs (8) two cards (4) for the purpose of comparing them. If they are the same, he takes the cards (4) for himself and makes another move. Otherwise, the cards (4) remain in place, and the move goes to another patient. The one who collected the most pair cards (4) won.

Preventive exercises in order to prevent memory impairment in patients of a neurological clinic can be carried out both in an individual form, when the patient sequentially finds paired cards, and in a group form, carried out in the form of a game.

When conducting classes in order to train and improve memory in healthy people, a playing field is used with the number of cells reaching 72. In addition, other types of cards containing images similar in appearance, complex geometric shapes, letters, words can be used to train the memory.

Thus, the proposed utility model consists in the simplicity and convenience of working with the device, since it provides the ability to see images from the back of cards located on the top of the panel made of frosted plexiglass, by simply pressing the buttons of the switches connected by electric wires to the LEDs which are electrically connected to each other. In addition, the device provides alternate presentation of cards with the required speed of their change, and the small recesses on the top of the panel - square cells with beveled edges at an angle of 30-45 degrees make it easy to pick up a card due to its movement in a horizontal plane, in As a result, one side rises from her, for which she easily grasps with her hand. This provides the opportunity to engage in the method of "paired cards" to patients with impaired movements of one or two hands.
