Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU)

Status: Completed

Conditions: Motor Coordination or Function; Developmental Disorder

Treatments: Other: OT-SI

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT03355417

Details and patient eligibility

About

The investigators hypothesize that children completing 30 sessions of occupational therapy using a sensory integration approach (OT-SI) will demonstrate positive changes in outcome measures related to motor coordination, functional performance and sensory processing (changes pre-post test).

Enrollment: 3 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 59 to 107 months old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Have a medical diagnosis of "lack of coordination" or "other coordination impairment"
• Children and caregivers able to communicate verbally in English
• Sensory processing impairments as determined by scores in the SPM-H form (screening). Scores must fall in the "definite dysfunction" range in one of three categories (Body Awareness, Balance & Motion, or Planning & Ideas), OR fall in the "some problems" range in 2/3 areas.

Exclusion criteria

• Diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder or other significant psychological impairment (e.g. bipolar disorder)
• Receiving occupational therapy services at CHoR or another therapy site for more than 3 months
• Significant motor impairment (e.g., cerebral palsy)
• Significant language impairment (e.g., non-verbal, or aphasia)
