Abstract

Objective

To assess the effects of a sensory integration programme involving applied interactive metronome training in a group of children with developmental disabilities.

Methods

Ten children with various developmental disabilities participated in this study. Participants received sensory integration treatment in a group programme with applied interactive metronome training for 45 minutes a day for 4 weeks, exclusive of Saturday and Sunday. The treatments consisted of stimulations of the vestibular and tactile senses, and proprioceptive applied metronome training.

Results

The effects of the programme were evaluated via measurements of short sensory profile, Corner's teacher rating scale, and DeGangi-Berk test. The data obtained before and after the treatment were analyzed using Wilcoxon's test. The findings of this study were that there were significantly positive effects on sensory processing, concentration, motor control, bilateral coordination, and reflex integration in the study group.

Conclusion

Our results indicated that the sensory integration programme with applied interactive metronome training might be useful and improved the performance of the children with developmental disabilities. The results demonstrated the efficacy of this new approach. This pilot study provides new insights into the effective treatment of children with developmental disabilities.

感觉统合计划与应用互动节拍器训练对发育障碍儿童的影响:一项试点研究

目的评价包括应用互动节拍器训练在内的感觉统合训练在一组发育性残疾儿童中的效果。方法10例不同发育障碍儿童参与本研究。参与者在一个小组项目中接受感觉统合治疗，包括应用互动节拍器训练，每天45分钟，持续4周，不包括周六和周日。治疗包括前庭和触觉刺激，以及本体感觉应用节拍器训练。结果通过测量短感官剖面、Corner教师评定量表和DeGangi-Berk测试来评估课程的效果。治疗前后的数据采用Wilcoxon检验进行分析。本研究发现，实验组在感觉加工、注意力集中、运动控制、双侧协调和反射整合方面有显著的积极影响。结论应用交互式节拍器训练的感觉统合训练可有效提高发育障碍儿童的表现。结果证明了这种新方法的有效性。这项初步研究为有效治疗发育障碍儿童提供了新的见解。
