Abstract We investigated the nature of sensory integration deficits in postural control of young adults with ASD. Postural control was assessed in a fixed environment, and in three environments in which sensory information about body sway from visual, proprioceptive or both channels w...

Abstract Background: Children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy exhibit increased muscular tonicity causing impaired postural control. Postural control is essential to maintain posture and balance during bipedal walking. The purpose of this study was examine the efficacy sensory integration on gait parameters among children palsy. Methods: Thirty boys ages ranged from 10 14 years participated in s...

OBJECTIVE Evaluation of the efficacy of Le Bon Départ (LBD) treatment and Sensory Integration (SI) treatment on motor performance of children with developmental coordination disorder. DESIGN A single subject design with multiple baseline and alternating treatments. Order of treatment and length of phase were randomized. Measurements were blinded. SETTING Department of Occupational Therapy a...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this pilot study was to prepare for a randomized controlled study of the effectiveness of occupational therapy using a sensory integration approach (OT-SI) with children who have sensory processing disorders (SPD). METHOD A one-group pretest, posttest design with 30 children was completed with a subset of children with SPD, those with sensory modulation disorder. RE...

Introduction The area of Sensory Integration has its origin in the 1960s, developed by neuroscientist and occupational therapist Jean Ayres. Although first studies focused on relationship between learning problems atypical sensory processing, today there are new applications clinical practice. integration is defined as neurological process responsible for organizing sensations that one receives...

The maturation and organization of the brain is essential for the progress of human development. A. Jean Ayres first proposed a model of human development in the 1960s that she termed “sensory integration” (SI). (1)(2) According to Ayres’ theory, SI occurs under the dynamic influenceof sensory inputs: gravitational, tactile, proprioceptive, vestibular, visual, and auditory sensations. This proc...

This analysis investigated the efficacy of sensory integration training for children with disabilities. Sensory integration has emerged as a possible bona fide intervention for children with disabilities, even though prior research has yielded equivocal and inconsistent findings about efficacy. Consequently, further examination seems warranted to address the ambiguity that exists in the sensory...
