DRUM SET-CORRECTION Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A61H1/00 A61M21/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: in the method of drum set correction - the developmental correction of cognitive and motor activity of children with infantile cerebral palsy - sensory motivation provided by a drum set is used. The method is implemented in three stages. Stage 1, adaptation-diagnostic, consists of 5 sessions, includes diagnostics of levels of actual and potential development of the child; accumulation of sensorimotor experience by familiarization with the basics of drum set playing: drumstick holding, playing lock, sitting, sound extraction. Stage 2, main, consists of 18 correction-developing sessions, where the sound is produced sequentially from the plates and tom-toms by the child's hands, from the bass drum and hi-hat by the child's feet with the help of a specialist. Subsequently, cross-sectional single and paired sound extractions are sequentially produced in accordance with the claims. Then the child's visual analyzer is artificially excluded from the motivation process of his/her own motor activity: the specialist blindfolds the child in the absence of negative reactions, and performs sound extraction: with the help, independently and using a model, sound extractions are performed using a metronome. Moreover, each correction-developing session includes a gradual complication of the performed methods - from methods corresponding to the level of child development and preparing him/her for further working on the drum set, forming an interest in studies, to performance of the techniques of the aforementioned complicating sound-extraction exercises aimed at the expansion of the limb movement range. 3 stages, final, 1 session, to assess the child's achievements. Sessions are performed for 3 months, 2 times a week, duration is from 45 minutes.

EFFECT: expansion of the range of physiological motor stereotypes of limbs in children with cerebral palsy through playing a drum set and revision in playing routines, development of cognitive activity, accumulation of sensorimotor experience, development of auditory perception, speech, visual coordination, hearing control, bilateral skills, balance and posture in space, orienting activity, analytical perception, thinking, memory, concentration and stability of attention, phonemic hearing.
