Description

This utility model relates to medicine to the section of neurology and neuropsychology and can be used in the departments of neurorehabilitation when conducting group classes on the simultaneous restoration of the motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity in patients with a neurological clinic.

Important for the effectiveness of rehabilitation education play forms, its organization, used in the course of training with patients with disorders of various mental and motor functions.

Methods and forms of organizing rehabilitation education should take into account the social nature of a person and create conditions for maximizing the use of all human capabilities and abilities, using the influence of the social environment and other social factors on a sick person (Tsvetkova LS Aphasia and rehabilitation education. M .; Moscow Psychological Social Institute Voronezh: Publishing house NPO "MODEK", 2001, p. 81, 82).

One of the forms of organization of rehabilitation education, which is based on the use of social factors, is a group form of training that contributes to improving the recovery of impaired mental and motor functions, expanding and supplementing individual classes with a specialist and self-study of patients during their stay in the neurological clinic.

Group activities allow, above all, the activity of communication and impact on the patient's personality through the mechanisms of a small social group: interpersonal interaction, cooperation, cooperation, competitiveness, etc. (Tsvetkova L.S. Aphasia and restorative education. Moscow; Moscow Psychological and Social Institute; Voronezh: Publishing and Production Association NPO MODEK, 2001, p. 9).

According to group dynamics expert Marvin Shaw, a small social group is a community consisting of two or more individuals interacting and influencing each other (Myers D. Social psychology. - SPb: Peter, 1997).

Thus, the use of group forms of training contributes to the effectiveness of rehabilitation training when working on the restoration of various mental functions, including intellectual activity, as well as motor functions, including the motor functions of the hands of patients with a neurological clinic.

In domestic psychology, intellectual activity or thinking is considered as a specific, but complex mental activity that has its own structure and functions (L. S. Tsvetkova, Neuropsychological rehabilitation of patients. Speech and intellectual activity, Moscow: MPSI Publishers, Voronezh: Modek, 2004 p. 317).

The normal intellectual process can be disrupted by focal brain lesions caused by various neurological diseases associated primarily with the defeat of the tertiary parietal-temporal-occipital or frontal regions of the cerebral cortex.

 Restoration of impaired intellectual activity is carried out through special methods depending on various conditions, such as the form of the disorder, the topic of brain damage, the severity of the defect, etc. (L. S. Tsvetkova, Neuropsychological rehabilitation of patients. Speech and intellectual activity, M .: Izd- in MPSI, Voronezh: Modek, 2004, p. 320).

One of the effective methods used for group classes in the restoration of intellectual activity is the traditional game "Tic-tac-toe", which ensures the inclusion of patients in the process of solving various problems arising in the course of playing activity.

So, from the current level of technology is known device "a cap simulator for group classes on the restoration of hand movements and intellectual activity in patients of the neurological clinic" (Patent RU 176720 U1, published 01.25.2018).

Structurally, this device is a plastic square base with dimensions ranging from 450 × 450 mm to 600 × 600 mm, on the front and back side of which there are fields for the game “Tic-tac-toe”, consisting of nine or sixteen square cells of the same size each of which is made a cylindrical protrusion with an external thread, designed for winding metal lids, chips, containing images of "crosses" and "zeros".

Thus, this device provides the possibility of simultaneous restoration of hand movements and intellectual activity of patients at the neurological clinic due to the fact that the traditional game “Tic-tac-toe” is used as a method aimed at restoring intellectual activity, and hand wrap is used on the cylindrical protrusions of metal lids with the image of "crosses" or "zeros".

 The disadvantages of this device when it is used for classes on the restoration of the motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity in patients with a neurological clinic are:

a) the limited capabilities of this device when it is used to restore the motor functions of the hands, as it is intended for classes in the restoration of movements of the hand;

b) the inconvenience of using this device for practicing with bed patients because of its large size;

C) the need to use additional elements in the form of metal lids, chips with images of "crosses" and "zeros".

In order to overcome the above disadvantages, a “Cylinder-type simulator for group exercises on the restoration of motor functions of hands and intellectual activity in patients at a neurological clinic” (hereinafter referred to as a “Cylinder-simulator”) has been developed.

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

a) ensuring the possibility of conducting classes aimed at the simultaneous restoration of motor processes, in particular the motor functions of the hands and mental processes, in particular intellectual activity;

b) ensuring the possibility of conducting classes with bed patients due to the compactness of the “game simulator-cylinder” and the convenience of holding it in their hands;

c) there is no need to use additional elements with images of "crosses" and "zeros" due to the fact that patients enter "crosses" and "toes" by means of an easily washable water marker in square cells of the "game trainer-cylinder";

d) ensuring the possibility of conducting classes for patients with impaired fine motor skills and the presence of hand tremor due to the fact that the square cells are made in the form of depressions that do not allow the writing instrument to go beyond them;

e) prevention of accidental erasing of “crosses” and “zeros” inscribed in square cells, due to the fact that the “game trainer-cylinder” is held by patients by the handles, allowing not to touch the surface of its body during the performance of tasks;

e) the simplicity of the design of the “game simulator-cylinder”, contributing to its widespread introduction into clinical practice.

The technical result of the claimed utility model, provided by the structural elements of the “game simulator-cylinder”, is the possibility of conducting group sessions on the simultaneous restoration of the motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity with a wide contingent of patients in the neurological clinic, including bedridden patients, as well as patients with impaired fine motor skills and the presence of tremor of the hands.

This technical result is ensured by the fact that the “playing simulator-cylinder” contains a hollow body made of plastic, having the shape of a straight cylinder with round bases, on which identical hollow handles are made, and on the side surface of the body longitudinal rows are formed of the same shape, the size and depth of the cell-recesses, having the form of squares, made on the cylindrical surface of the body, which are separated from each other and from the bases of the body by jumpers of the same width; wherein the recess cells are arranged in such a way that the number of recess cells located in one longitudinal row is equal to the number of longitudinal rows with the same number of recess cells in each row.

In the preferred embodiment of the “game simulator-cylinder”, the recess cells are highlighted in a different color from the case color.

In the preferred embodiment of the “game simulator-cylinder” a line is drawn on one of the jumpers located along the body.

In the preferred embodiment of the “game simulator-cylinder”, the total number of recess cells may be 16, 25, 36 or 49 pieces.

The essence of the utility model "Game simulator-cylinder for group classes on the restoration of motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity in patients of the neurological clinic" is illustrated by drawings, which depict:

in fig. 1 - a general view of the “game simulator-cylinder”;

in fig. 2 - view of the “game simulator-cylinder” from the side of one of the handles.

The inventive “gaming simulator cylinder” (see FIGS. 1, 2) is a hollow body made of plastic (1), having the form of a straight cylinder with round bases, on the side surface of which longitudinal rows of cells of the same shape and size are formed depressions (3), which are intended for inscribing in them symbols in the form of "crosses" and "zeros" by means of an easily washable water marker in the course of occupations with a "game simulator-cylinder".

The dimensions of this particular “gaming simulator-cylinder” indicated below are not signs that narrow the scope of legal protection, as they may change in the process of its creation.

The diameter of the body (1) of the “game simulator-cylinder” is 40–60 mm, the length is 130–190 mm, and the wall and round bases are the same thickness and are 3–4 mm.

On both sides of the body (1), on its foundations, identical hollow handles (2) of conical shape with a length of 80–100 mm are made, the diameter of which is 20–25 mm at the end, and the wall thickness is 2–3 mm.

At the same time, the recess cells (3) are arranged in such a way that the number of recess cells (3) located in one longitudinal row is equal to the number of longitudinal rows with the same number of recess cells (3) in each row.

The total number of recess cells (3) can be 16 pieces (4 longitudinal rows of 4 recess cells in each row), 25 pieces (5 longitudinal rows of 5 cells of recesses in each row), 36 pieces (6 longitudinal rows of 6 recess cells in each row) or 49 pieces (7 longitudinal rows of 7 recess cells in each row).

At the same time, each recess cell (3) has the shape of a square, made on the cylindrical surface of the body (1) of the “game simulator-cylinder”.

The depth of all the cells of the recesses (3) is the same and is 1-2 mm.

The recess cells (3) are separated from each other and from the bases of the body (1) by bridges (4) of the same width, which is 2-4 mm.

Thus, the recess cells (3) located on the side surface of the body (1) form the playing field for playing Tic-tac-toe in the course of exercises in restoring the motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity.

On one of the jumpers located along the body (1) there is a dark line (5) dividing the top and bottom of the playing field.

For a better perception of the cells-depressions (3) of patients with the neurological clinic, they are highlighted in color (for example, by means of paint), which differs from the color of the body (1) of the “game simulator-cylinder”.

Thus, the design features of the recess cells (3), which are made below the main surface of the housing (1), facilitate the process of inscribing symbols into them due to the fact that the inscription occurs strictly within the borders of the recess cells (3).

Due to this, conducting classes with a “game simulator cylinder” becomes available for patients with impaired fine motor skills and the presence of hand tremor.

At the same time, the depth of the recess cells (3) does not prevent the removal of the symbols inscribed in them with a water marker by means of a sponge for erasing water markers.

For storage and transportation of the “game simulator-cylinder” a cover is used (not shown in the figures) made of plastic or fabric material.

Work with the “Game simulator-cylinder for group classes on the restoration of motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity in patients with a neurological clinic” is carried out as follows.

Before the start of the lesson, the specialist forms a group of two patients who have approximately the same degree of impairment of the motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity.

Further, one of the patients, holding the “playing simulator-cylinder” with a hand with a movement disorder by one of the handles (2), inserts an image of a “cross” into one of the recess cells (3) on the surface of the body (1) with an easily washable water marker.

After that, the “game simulator-cylinder” is transferred to another patient, who takes his hand in violation of movements (restoration of motor functions of the hand) by another handle (2) and carries out the next move (restoration of intellectual activity), entering the image of “zero” in another cell- recess (3), etc.

Thus, during the session, the “game simulator-cylinder” is constantly transferred from one patient to another patient, each of which takes and holds it (restoration of the motor functions of the hand) by one of the handles (2).

At the same time, before each new move (restoration of intellectual activity), patients are forced to make different movements (rotation, tilts, etc.) with the “game simulator-cylinder” (restoration of the motor functions of the hand), allowing you to see all the deepening cells (3), “crosses” and “toes” are inscribed in them, then fix the “game simulator cylinder” in a comfortable position (restoration of motor functions of the hand) and enter the corresponding symbol (restoration of intellectual activity) in one of the corner cells blokyy (3).

The game ends with the victory of one of the patients, who, in accordance with the rules of the Tic-Tac-Toe game, made a row of four “crosses” or “zeros” in the recess cells (3) of the corps (1), or in a draw, when making a row managed none of the patients.

Along with the traditional game "Tic-tac-toe", "game trainer-cylinder" can be used for variants of the game "Tic-tac-toe" with complicated rules, for example, the game "Tic-tac-toe of Silverman".

In this case, the patients also alternately enter the images of "crosses" and "zeros" in the recess cells (3), but the task changes. The task of the player with “crosses” is that in the recess cells (3) a row of four “crosses” or “toes” will line up. The task of playing "zeroes" is the opposite: not to allow complete rows of either images of "crosses" or images of "zeroes."

Also, in the course of training with a “game simulator cylinder”, the option of playing “Tic-tac-toe” without the line (5) separating the top and bottom of the playing field can be used.

At the end of the game, all the images of “crosses” and “zeros” inscribed by patients in the recess cells (3) are removed with a sponge to erase water markers.

After mastering the work with the “game simulator cylinder” under the guidance of a specialist, patients receive the opportunity to conduct self-study, both in the clinic and after discharge, at home.

Along with the use of the “game simulator-cylinder” for practicing the restoration of hand motor functions and intellectual activity in patients with a neurological clinic, it can be widely used in the following cases:

a) when conducting remedial developmental activities with children who have impaired formation of the motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity;

b) when conducting neurocognitive training with people of elderly and senile age;

c) as a developmental simulator of intellectual activity for healthy children;

d) as an original gaming device that implements the version of the game "Tic-tac-toe" on the playing field, which has the shape of a cylinder.

Thus, the “gaming simulator cylinder” at the expense of its structural elements allows for group sessions on the simultaneous restoration of motor functions of the hands and intellectual activity with a wide contingent of patients at the neurological clinic, including bedridden patients, as well as patients with impaired fine motor skills and the presence of hand tremor.

The claimed “gaming simulator cylinder” introduces a novelty element into the process of rehabilitation classes with patients, turning them into an interesting and attractive training for patients. Due to the simplicity of the design and ease of use, the “gaming simulator cylinder” can be widely used in clinical practice.
