Purpose: Comparing the effects of manipulating senses on relative phase transition bimanual coordination pattern of active and inactive women with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Methods: The methodology of this study was repeated-measures design. Study participants comprised 10 active women and 10 inactive women with multiple sclerosis who voluntarily participated in this experiment. The participant...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of addition of soymilk on physicochemical, microbial, and sensory characteristics of milk fermented with lactobacillus acidophilus. soybeans were blended 1:5 w/v with distilled water. the prepared soymilk was added to milk in combinations of 20%, 40%, and 60%. milk was used as the control. all the samples were sterilized and fermented w...

introduction: sensory impairment is a major complication following multiple sclerosis (ms). the role of foot sensation in balance and quality of life has been previously documented in elders and people with diabetes and neurological conditions (i.e. stroke) however less attention has yet been paid to people with ms. this study was to define the prevalence of foot sensory impairments in people w...

USING SENSORY INTERVENTIONS TO PROMOTOE SKILL ACQUISITION FOR STUDENTS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS by Ginny L. Van Rie Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have documented sensory processing difficulties across the lifespan; however there is limited empirical support for the sensorybased interventions that have become ubiquitous with the population. This study was conducted to ad...

OBJECTIVE To examine the relation between length of institutionalization and sensory integration in children adopted from Eastern Europe. METHOD The Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests (SIPT) and the Developmental and Sensory Processing Questionnaire were administered to 60 adopted children, 4 years to 8 years, 11 months of age. Thirty had longer institutionalization histories (mean: 34 mont...

Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of sensory and movement speed manipulations on bimanual coordination dynamics. Here we compared to what extent the absence and or bias of different sensory modalities affect performance of coordination of movements. Methods: Fifteen physical education students of Shahid Beheshti University (aged 18-25 years) were partici...

Support is provided for a primary neural factor in migraine by studies in autonomic responsiveness to sensory stimuli in relation to the laterality of pain. Migraineurs with consistently lateralised headaches were found in two studies to exhibit extremes of autonomic responsiveness to sensory stimuli during the interictal phase. The direction of responsiveness was predictive of the laterality o...
