DEVICE FOR FORMING GENERAL SENSITIVITY IN A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC G06F111/18 A63F13/285 A61B5/00 G06F3/346 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to the formation of general sensitivity in a virtual environment and to rehabilitation, and can be used when restoring the motor function of the upper limb and teaching motor skills. A device is proposed, which consists of a control unit, communications connected with the specified device, and communicating with the control software of a computer or smartphone, virtual reality glasses and a glove equipped with vibration, heating and electromechanical elements used to stimulate receptors and imitate contact exteroceptive sensations, moreover the elements are located in the projection of each of the three phalanges of all fingers, moreover, electromechanical vibration elements function coherently with a frequency from 8 to 300 Hz with a 5% change step, correlating with the intensity of compression of the object necessary to move virtual objects with different conventional masses, and strain gauges, located fifteen each on the palmar and dorsal surfaces of the hand in the projection of the joints of the phalanges of the hand and the wrist joint, provide registration of the hand kinematics based on 22 degrees of freedom, and register changes in the radius of the gesture in both any other hand joint over 5 mm, in addition, contains an electroencephalogram recording device, which provides registration of changes in the power and duration of electroencephalogram frequencies in the sensorimotor area, and an optical tracker, which provides a comparison of the location of the upper limb in the physical world and in virtual reality and provides an assessment of the movement of the upper limb in the shoulder, elbow and wrist joints.

EFFECT: invention provides an expansion of the arsenal of technical means that allow the formation of complex types of sensitivity in a virtual environment and provide training in motor skills and motor rehabilitation of patients with an upper limb injury, taking into account the individual characteristics of motor and sensory disorders.
