Filter by:Sensory and balance losses occur in hemiplegic patients. In some patients, sensory and balance rehabilitations may vary depending on the treatment they receive, depending on the treatment. It is a fact that the affected anatomic neuronal regions can cause different damages for each person together with interneuronal relations. This study aims to sense sensation with Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy to be applied to the plantar region.
This study seeks to address two key questions related to sensory dysregulation in Tourette syndrome (TS) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD): 1) Is sensory dysregulation in OCD clinically distinct from that in TS? 2) To what extent does sensory dysregulation affect QOL in each of these disorders? Patients with TS, patients with OCD, and healthy controls will complete an online battery of validated questionnaires assessing sensory dysregulation, psychiatric symptoms, and quality of life.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the sole of foot sensory education and electrical stimulation on proprioceptive and cortical senses in patients with acute hemiplegia.
There is no current research to support the efficacy of a combination of equine-assisted activities (EAA) and brain building activities to influence motor skill competencies in youth with neurodevelopmental disorders (ND). The primary objective of this study was to quantify changes in motor skill proficiency before and after 8 weeks of EAA and brain-building activities in youth with ND. A secondary objective was to quantify changes in motor skill proficiency before and after 1 year of EAA and brain-building activities in youth with ND.
The investigators hypothesize that wearing bilateral therapeutic vibrating devices before bed will result in positive changes in outcome measures related to sleep (e.g., sleep efficiency) in children who are sensitive to stimuli in their environment (aka sensory over responsiveness or SOR).
The aim of this case-controlled observational cross-sectional study is to investigate the test-retest reliability, validity and clinical utility of a rapid robotic assessment of finger proprioception using a passive gauge position matching tasks in MS and stroke subjects. Session 1 Informed consent Descriptive measures Session 2 Clinical testing Robotic assessment (3x) Session 3 Clinical testing Robotic assessment (3x)
The present study seeks to evaluate the clinical utility of repeated transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) by assessing long-term, lasting changes in oscillatory activity and subsequent changes in related behavioral processes of anxious arousal and sensory sensitivity. To date, only transient effects of tACS have been reported, lasting no longer than 30 to 70 minutes. In order to be truly impactful within a clinical setting, however, evidence for long-term effects of tACS is needed.
Auditory hyper-reactivity affects up to 66% of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and has been linked to greater stress and anxiety for children and their families. Exposure and Response Prevention (E/RP) is highly effective for reducing obsessive/compulsive behaviors in children with both OCD and ASD. This study is the first to assess the feasibility and efficacy of E/RP for auditory sensory hyper-reactivity in ASD.
This study is being conducted to improve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans by reducing the time required for imaging. Experience has shown that unpleasant side-effects from magnetic pulses used in MRI (for example, tingling or tapping sensations) can be reduced when the magnetic pulses are shortened. In this study, we will explore whether this effect holds true when very short magnetic pulses are applied.
Children with Sensory Modulation Dysfunction (SMD) either over- or under-react to stimuli in their environment. This can cause significant problems with daily activities and may lead to anxiety, poor attention, low self-esteem, and further complications in motor, cognitive, social and emotional development. Diagnosis of SMD is based on physiological responses to specific stimuli, measures of behavioral/social/emotional symptoms, and studies of the resulting functional limitation and disability. Treatments involve direct biomedical and behavioral intervention to improve sensory processing, as well as adjustments to the home, school and community environment. This study will compare the effect of occupational therapy vs. alternative therapy on the reactivity and function of children who have SMD.
