Abstract

Background

Children with Generalized Joint Hypermobility (GJH) may have a motor developmental delay in the early period and subluxation, fatigue, autonomic dysfunction, and pain arising from ligaments and other soft tissues in advanced ages. Additionally, there is a loss of proprioceptive sensation in children and adults with GJH.

Aims

This study aimed to evaluate sensory processing skills in toddlers with GJH.

Study Design

A cross-sectional study.

Subjects

Fifty-eight children aged between 12 and 14 months were included in the study. These children were divided into two groups: with and without GJH (31 with GJH and 27 without GJH).

Outcome measures

The sensory processing skills of the children in the study were evaluated with the Test of Sensory Functions in Infants (TSFI).

Results

The scores in the subtests of TSFI in response to tactile deep pressure, adaptive motor functions, visual-tactile integration, and response to vestibular stimuli were higher in favor of children without GJH (p < 0.05). The total TSFI score was higher in the group without GJH (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

Sensory processing problems were found in toddlers with GJH. Sensory motor development should be evaluated in children with GJH, and an appropriate early intervention program should be planned.

对患有关节活动过度症的幼儿感官处理能力的调查

背景患有全身关节活动过度症（GJH）的儿童在早期可能会出现运动发育迟缓，而到了晚期则会出现半脱位、疲劳、自主神经功能障碍以及韧带和其他软组织引起的疼痛。本研究旨在评估 GJH 幼儿的感觉处理技能。结果TSFI的触觉深压反应、适应性运动功能、视觉-触觉整合和前庭刺激反应等分测验的得分均高于未患GJH的儿童（P< 0.05）。结论在患有 GJH 的幼儿中发现了感觉处理问题。GJH患儿的感官运动发育应接受评估，并应规划适当的早期干预计划。

期刊介绍： Established as an authoritative, highly cited voice on early human development, Early Human Development provides a unique opportunity for researchers and clinicians to bridge the communication gap between disciplines. Creating a forum for the productive exchange of ideas concerning early human growth and development, the journal publishes original research and clinical papers with particular emphasis on the continuum between fetal life and the perinatal period; aspects of postnatal growth influenced by early events; and the safeguarding of the quality of human survival. The first comprehensive and interdisciplinary journal in this area of growing importance, Early Human Development offers pertinent contributions to the following subject areas: Fetology; perinatology; pediatrics; growth and development; obstetrics; reproduction and fertility; epidemiology; behavioural sciences; nutrition and metabolism; teratology; neurology; brain biology; developmental psychology and screening.
