Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are life-long neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by impairment in reciprocal social interactions, verbal and non-verbal communication skills, restricted repetitive stereotyped patterns of behaviour, interests activities. Children with ASD normally shows the sensory struggles to process data. Short Sensory Profile (SSP) is an assessment tool which widely u...

Neuropathic Disorders The peripheral nervous system (PNS) comprises the cranial nerves, spinal nerve roots, dorsal root ganglia, the peripheral nerve trunks (motor and sensory nerves), the terminal branchings of motor nerves as they innervate skeletal muscle, and the peripheral autonomic system [1]. Disorders of the parent cell bodies located in the spinal cord (and/or brainstem) are discussed ...

Patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders may have visceral sensory dysfunction so that physiological stimuli induce their symptoms. The clinical significance of altered perception—that is, its relation to clinical symptoms—remains unclear. Data indicate that sensory dysfunction is associated with altered reflex activity. Hence evidence of combined sensory-reflex dysfunction as a comm...

BACKGROUND Atypical reactions to sensory stimuli show heritability in the general population and are a known risk factor for affective disorders. As sensory problems are highly prevalent in individuals with ASD and their siblings, and the occurrence of affective disorders is elevated in parents of children with ASD, investigating sensory symptoms in parents is important both from clinical and t...

I. Description Sensory integration (SI) therapy has been proposed as a treatment of developmental disorders in patients with established dysfunction of sensory processing, e.g., children with autism, attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder, brain injuries, fetal alcohol syndrome, and neurotransmitter disease. SI therapy may be offered by occupational and physical therapists who are certified in...

Sensory phenomena in tic disorders such as Tourette's syndrome are known but are substantiated by only a handful of studies. In this preliminary report, we studied premonitory urge, a type of sensory phenomenon in three patients of tic disorders. Bereitschaftspotential, a movement-related cognitive potential indicative of motor preparation, was assessed in these patients. As bereitschaftspotent...
