Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical rehabilitation training auxiliary equipment, in particular to a cognitive training device for Alzheimer's disease. Background Art

[0002] Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system that mainly occurs in the elderly or pre-elderly. The main characteristics of the disease include progressive cognitive dysfunction and behavioral impairment. Symptoms of Alzheimer's disease include memory impairment, aphasia, apraxia, agnosia, and impairment of visual-spatial abilities. In addition, the patient's abstract thinking and calculation ability are also impaired, often accompanied by changes in personality and behavior.

[0003] The disease requires long-term treatment. Currently, the progression of the disease is mainly controlled through drug therapy and non-drug intervention. Rehabilitation training is an important part of non-drug intervention for Alzheimer's disease. Its main purpose is to delay the progression of the disease, control symptoms, maintain residual functions to the maximum extent, and reduce complications.

[0004] Rehabilitation training includes cognitive training, sleep adjustment, life skills training, visual recognition ability training, calculation ability training, thinking training, perceptual disorder training, etc. Memory training is a type of cognitive training. When conducting memory training, patients are usually shown several items and then asked to recall what they have seen. Medical staff often choose cardboard or cards with items printed on them, and then give them to patients in batches for identification and memory. The cards that have been seen are put aside. When the patient recalls, they are taken out again and sorted in order to remind the patient to improve the patient's recognition and memory training effect.

[0005] Cards are usually stacked where items are placed, which is inconvenient to store. When displayed, they need to be displayed one by one. After the current batch is displayed, they need to be sorted according to the original order and then displayed to the patient again, which reduces the convenience of operation for medical staff.
