Constraint-Induced therapy (CI therapy, or CIT) is a family of rehabilitation therapies designed to help “rewire” the brain and thus regain some level of limb function […]
Motor deficits in cerebral palsy (CP) have been well documented; however, associated sensory impairment in CP remains poorly understood. We examined tactile object recognition in the […]
Participation in childhood daily functional performance was examined in 78 children: 44 with sensory modulation disorder (SMD); (33 males, 11 females; mean age 7y 6mo [SD […]
Systematic reviews of literature relevant to children and adolescents with difficulty processing and integrating sensory information are important to the practice of occupational therapy in this […]
OBJECTIVE. We developed a reliable and valid fidelity measure for use in research on Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI) intervention. METHOD. We designed a fidelity instrument to […]
Background and Purpose. Development of gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy (CP) has not been documented. The purposes of this study were to examine […]
This perspective outlines the theoretical basis for the presentation with the same name as the second part of this title, which was given at the III […]
Pediatricians commonly are asked to evaluate children with motor disabilities and to write prescriptions for physical, occupational, and speech-language therapy services. Although many states require a […]
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between sensory processing and context for children with autism. We examined home and school contexts […]
Atypical sensory-based behaviors are a ubiquitous feature of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). In this article, we review the neural underpinnings of sensory processing in autism by […]
Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with damage to frontal, temporal and parietal lobes. Post-concussion syndrome has been used to describe a range of residual […]
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as an insult to the brain caused by an external force that may produce diminished or altered states of consciousness, […]
The cerebral cortex receives almost all of its sensory input from the thalamus. With the exception of olfaction, sensory information is delivered to cortical neurons through […]
There is increasing awareness of the importance of brain health and brain fitness for individual well-being, as well as for the strength of societies and civilizations. […]
Biofeedback is a mind-body therapy using electronic instruments to help individuals gain awareness and control over psychophysiological processes (Gilbert & Moss, 2003; Moss, 2001; Schwartz & […]
Over the past 40 years, researchers have examined various non-drug approaches to the treatment of epilepsy. Neurofeedback is an approach that has been proven efficient in […]
This article provides information about the voluntary control of cerebral blood flow as a form of neurofeedback. The formal name of the process is hemoencephalography, but we […]
Abstract: Falls and fall-induced injuries are major global public health problems. Balance and gait disorders have been the second leading cause of falls. Inertial motion sensors […]
Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of neurofeedback on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study without a control group. The […]
ADHD is the most frequently diagnosed pediatric behavioral health disorder with 11% of American school-aged children (and nearly 20% of all high school boys) having been […]
This article provides information about the voluntary control of cerebral blood flow as a form of neurofeedback. The formal name of the process is hemoencephalography, but we […]
