Sensory integration Flashcards
Learning is dependent on
ability of individuals to perceive sensory info and use it to guide behavior
We receive input through____
what are responses?
senses
pay attention/flight/ignore
Regulates neural message about sensory stimuli and organizes degree, intensity, nature of responses.
Modulation
ability to discern subtle differences b/w sensations and give label for acquisition
discrimination
symptoms of proprioceptive system.
poor equillibrium
dec ability in sensory conflict
poor body scheme
clumsy/uncoordinated. tires quick
Tx for low proprioceptive?
heavy work
jt compression
vest
detect head movement relative to gravity
contributes to sense of
vestibular system
balance head control gaze coordination tone posture.
organizing senstations
disorganizing
linear
rotary
Vestibular issues Tx
rocking/pacing: linear input
spinning self: rotary vestibular
Visual undersensitve symptoms and Tx
stares, watches walks into ppl
bright light/room
Visual hypersensitive S+S
Tx?
bothered by bright light
avoid eye contact
poor attention
Natural lighting
decrease visual distractions
Auditory undersensitive
S+S Tx
enjoy loud noises
hums/sings
loud noise/music
auditory hypersensitive
S+S Tx
distracted by noises/ hates loud
soft low noise
dec background noise
headphones
a deficit in neural processing of auditory stimuli that is not due to higher order language/cog/
Auditory processing disorder
delay in system
Characteristics of auditory processing disorder
delayed response
poor listen/attention
poor memory of things they hear
asks to repeat a lot.
Sx of olfactory and Tx
irritable to strong smells
avoid them.
calming scents like vanilla
Sx of gustatory and Tx
avoid textures of food/picky
massage mouth
tethers
gradually add sazon
hyporesponsive systems?
postural-ocular movement disorder
B/L integration/sequencing
Postural insecurity
Somatodyspraxi
Hyperresponsive systems
gravitational insecurity
intolerance to movement
tactile defensiveness
Postural-ocular movement disorder symptoms
POOR: head righting/stability trunk/pelvis control eye/head dissociation tracking hand-eye body scheme
B/L integration/sequencing
poor: proximal stability midline orientation use of both sides of body feedforward unilateral weakness lack hand dominance
Somatodyspraxia
impaired central processing
righting reaction
thoracolumbar control
pelvic control
postural insecurity
poor righting reactions thoracolumbar control pelvic stability cant grade LE control decrease tactile discrimination in feet body scheme
Gravitational Insecurity
impaired vestibular-proprioceptive perceptions
fear movement backwards
Difference between posture and gravitational instability?
GI: child avoids activity because of possibility of falling
PI: lack of control over movements.
Intolerance to mvmtn
Low tolerance to vestibular displacement
dizzy/vomit/irritable
Tactile defensiveness
avoid touch rub area after touch don't like some textures decreased manipulation skills toe walk weight postures
what do you do for tactile defensiveness
Need to bear hug no light touches.
What is included in the assessment?
arousal/attention
response to tactile/movement
observe praxis (too much/little)
What are the standardized assessments?
Sensory integration praxis test sensory profile SPM Sensory Fx in infants (4-18 mo) Early coping inventory (4-36 mo) Degangi-Berk Test of sensory integration
Factors that affect registration?
prep for input
past experience
state of system
environment
Guidelines?
observe child let them lead look for quality of behavior focus on sensory defense/modulation first optimize arousal set up env. pressure and vestibular helpful involve everyone
Treatments for problem with extension?
flexion?
vestibular input linearly
abdominal work.
Problem with prox stability
WB/WS?
push pull activities/heavy work
encourage movement.
Toe Walking Tx?
increase tone: via proprioceptive stimulation
Tactile defensiveness: decrease sensitivity.
