Use sensory systems to help increase or decrease alertness and arousal Carefully increase stimulation from the environment Initially provide visual & auditory assists Offer limited choices by structuring the environment Use spontaneous movement Use real life situations |

What is the purposes of The Proprioceptive System? |
|
Definition
Gives information about the body positions in space
Develops through weight bearing and movement and is Critical in maturation of reflexes, particularly righting and equilibrium responses. |

|
Definition
appear clumsy – stumble & bump into things poor placement of extremities for weight bearing poor muscle co-contraction and holding against gravity; lock joints for stability difficulty grading movement seeks proprioceptive sensations |
|
|
Term
What are the 3 purposes of the vestibular system in sensory integration? |
|
Definition
-Awareness of position and orientation in space -Regulation of eye position during head movement to stabilize the image -Influences muscle tone for postural support – primarily extensor tone |
|
|
Term
what are Two types of vestibular dysfunction when it comes to sensory intergration? |
|
Definition
hyporeactivity (hyporesponsiveness) to vestibular input hyperreactivity (hyperresponsiveness) to vestibular input |
|
|
Term
what are 6 clinical manifestations might see with Hyporesponsiveness to Vestibular |
|
Definition
-decreased autonomic responses to vestibular stimulation -appear clumsy - stumbling & falling more than other children -decreased antigravity extension & flexion and decreased control of postural adjustments -poor eye/head coordination -decreased altertness/arousal -seek a great deal of movement experience – more than the typical child |
|
|
Term
what are 4 treatment option considerations when working with a child with Hyporesponsiveness to Vestibular |
|
Definition
-Utilize hanging equipment in conjunction with active movement to include linear and rotary activities early in treatment -Vary the type, speed, and difficulty of adaptive responses -Allow the child to control the amount of stimulation but monitor for signs of adequate amount of input -Combine proprioceptive input with vestibular |
|
|
Term
what 5 clinical manifestations might you see in a child with Hyperresponsiveness to Vestibular |
|
Definition
-gravitational insecurity: extreme fearfulness with changes in head and body position even when adequately supported (differentiate from "posturally unstable") -fear everyday, generic movement experiences -unusual fear of falling, heights, backward movement -unexpected/exaggerated autonomic responses to rotation and linear movement (vertigo, nausea, vomiting) -Increased alertness/arousal |
|
|
Term
what are 4 treatment option considerations when working with a child with Hyperesponsiveness to Vestibular |
|
Definition
-allow the child to control the movement as much as necessary to keep the child interacting with the environment -utilize adaptive responses which gradually increase in difficulty -utilize hanging equipment emphasizing linear activities and only progress to rotary movement when the child has begun to utilize linear input more appropriately -monitor delayed effects of vestibular input (Is the child okay when he leaves and what effects were there an hour later?) |
|
|
Term
when working with sensory intergration problems what activities should you start with first? |
|
Definition
Start with Most Tolerable Activity and Progress to More Movement |
|
|
Term
what are the 5 purposes of The Tactile System |
|
Definition
-alerts the person to danger (protection) -gives information about the immediate surroundings (discrimination) -guides the exploration of the environment -assists in developing body scheme -associates with emotions via the limbic system |
|
|
Term
what are the two types of dysfunction in the tactile system? |
|
Definition
-hyporesponsiveness to tactile input (poor tactile descrimination) -hyperresponsiveness (tactile defensiveness) to tactile input |
|
|
Term
what are 6 clinical manifestations you might see in Hyporesponsiveness to Tactile |
|
Definition
-decreased awareness or reaction to touch, pain, temperature -poor touch discrimination (e.g. stereognosis, 2-point discrimination) -poor manipulation skills -under reaction to bumps, falls -seeks /craves touch experiences -decreased body scheme |
|
|
Term
what are 4 treatment option considerations when working with a child with Hyporesponsiveness to Tactile |
|
Definition
-utilize light touch and facilitating touch experiences -use tactile discrimination games and activities with a variety of textures -emphasize tactile input with proprioceptive input -use activities that emphasize body scheme |
|
|
Term
what are 6 clinical manifestations you might see in Hyperesponsiveness to Tactile (tactile defensiveness) |
|
Definition
-avoidance of being touched overreaction to bumps, falls -preference for solitary play - avoid contact -sensitivity to certain textures of clothing, food -discomfort with face washing, tooth brushing, hair combing -use of fingertips to manipulate objects |
|
|
Term
what are 4 treatment option considerations when working with a child with Hyperresponsiveness to Tactile(tactile defensiveness) |
|
Definition
-encourage activities in which the child applies tactile input to himself -start with deep touch not light touch -incorporate touch into basic activities that the child can enjoy, perhaps a distraction -use proprioceptive input along with the tactile to make it more tolerable |
|
|
Term
Treatment often results in a ___________ of stimuli targeting several systems. Activities may target proprioception, tactile, and vestibular all at once. |
|
Definition
|
