Summary

Our study examines the effect of sensory integration training on sensory, motor and oculomotor skills in infants with cortical vision impairment .

Detailed description

Cortical vision impairment (CVI) and Cerebral Palsy (CP) lead to decrement in sensory and motor functions of infants. The current study examined the effectiveness of sensory integration interventions on sensory, motor, and oculomotor skills in infants with cortical vision impairment. Thirty-four infants with CVI and CP aged 12-18 months were enrolled to the study. The infants were randomly divided into 2 groups as the control and intervention groups. The intervention group took sensory integration intervention 2 days a week for 8 weeks in addition to conventional physiotherapy two days a week for eight weeks. The control group only received the conventional physiotherapy program 2 days a week for 8 weeks. The duration of the treatment sessions were 45 minutes for both interventions. Before and after the intervention, sensory processing functions were evaluated with the Test of Sensory Functions in Infants (TSFI) and motor functions were evaluated with the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS).

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Sensory integration therapy	The individuals were divided into two as randomized controlled. Both physiotherapy and sensory integration therapy were applied to the intervention group. Each treatment was applied as 2 sessions per week, 2 days a week for 8 weeks. In the control group, only physiotherapy treatment was applied for 8 weeks, 2 days a week, 2 sessions per week.
